A great family-friendly alternative to Table Mountain, it's still a good walk but not as long. Great views, although avoid going for midday as the cannon is pretty deafening close up!

You truly feel like you're at the end of the world here. We got the Flying Duchman funicular to the top and the views were simply astonishing. You can also spot zebra, so I think it's the greatest place ever!!

Quite an amazing location, the wouthernmost tip of Africa, with nothing but miles and miles of sea in front of you. We spent a couple of days visiting Table Mountain National Park and saw baboons, zebra and a whole host of others, plus great scenery and loads of pretty flowers.

Even more spectacular than you think it's going to be! I know it's a Cape Town clichee tourist activity but if I were you I wouldn't care and would go up all the same. We took the cable car to be lame but there are also plenty of paths to the top to choose from.

In the shadows of the huge stadium and within sight of the Magnificent Table Mountain, this park is a lovely green haven, perfect for lunch and a stroll to reflect on your next move in SA. The lighthouse and the biodiversity nursery were personal highlights.
