South Africa, Cape Town & the Cape Peninsula

More than a scenic backdrop, Table Mountain is the solid core of Cape Town, dividing the city into distinct zones with public gardens, wilderness, forests, hiking routes, vineyards and desirable residential areas trailing down its lower slopes.

Standing on the tabletop, you can look north for a giddy view of the city centre, its docks lined with matchbox ships.

To the west, beyond the mountainous Twelve Apostles, the drop is sheer and your eye sweeps across Africa's priciest real estate, clinging to the slopes along the chilly but spectacularly beautiful Atlantic seabord.

To the south, the mountainsides are forested and several historic vineyards and the marvellous Botanical Gardens creep up the lower slopes.
Beyond the oak-lined suburbs of Newlands and Constantia lies the warmer False Bay seabord, which curves around towards Cape Point.

Finally, relegated to the grim industrial east, are the coloured townships and black ghettos, spluttering in winter under the smoky pall of coal fires - your stark introduction to Cape Town when driving in from the airport on the eastern outskirts of the city.
