“This cape is a
most stately thing
and the fairest
cape we saw in the
whole circumference
of the earth.”
—Sir Francis Drake, explorer
The diversiTy of animals coexisting
on the savannah mirrors the multiculturalism of Cape Town. This refined
city seems like the cosmopolitan cousin
of rough-around-the-edges Joburg.
The Dutch East India Company
established an outpost in Cape Town
in 1652 and since then, travellers from
Europe, Asia and the rest of Africa
have journeyed here by way of the
city’s natural harbour.
For a literal overview of the city,
visitors should head to one of its most
photogenic hot spots: Table Mountain.
The cable car ride to the top (or a hike
for more adventurous types) arrives at
An African penguin
a three-kilometre plateau that provides
the best views of Cape Town and the
surrounding Lion’s Head, Devil’s Peak
and Signal Hill. You’ll always know
when it’s lunchtime: the Noon Gun
cannon on Signal Hill has fired daily
since 1902.
