Cape Town, Rondebosch and the Rhodes Memorial

South of Rosebank, neighbouring Rondebosch is home to the University of Cape Town (UCT), whose nineteenth-century buildings are handsomely festooned with creepers and sit grandly on the mountainside, overlooking Main Road and the M3 highway.

Next to the campus, north towards the city, is the conspicuous Rhodes Memorial, built to resemble a Greek temple.
The monument celebrates Cecil Rhodes with a sculpture of a wildly rearing horse, and the empire-builder's bust is planted at the top of a towering set of stairs.

Herds of wildebeest and zebra nonchalantly graze on the slopes around the Memorial as cars fly past on the M3,  and the Tea Garden offers terrific views of Cape Town.
