My favorite place that I have been to in South Africa is Table Mountain. The mountain is just over 1 kilometer high and provides a spectacular view of the entire city of Cape Town and the ocean. It is one of my favorite places to hike, as I have done many times, because there are many scenic routes. Its distinct flat top makes it a unique landmark and it features on both the old city of Cape Town logo and the new one.
The top of Table Mountain
If you are not the type of person who enjoys hiking there are alternative methods of getting to the top. There is a cable car and there is a jeep path for cars that have been approved. For some cool Table Mountain facts visit
