There are numerous reasons why South Africa remains a traveller’s favourite. One of it is the famous Table Mountain that overlooks the capital city of Cape Town. In fact, it is one of the few natural wonders that are located in the middle of a major city.
Geographically, the Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain. The major attraction here is the national park with the same name, situated close by. The region is known to be one of the richest areas for plants in the world, with numerous unique species. The most important ones among them are the 1460 varieties of fynbos, a unique kind of vegetation and the rare amphibian Table Mountain Ghost Frogs.
Adding to the attractions of the mountain is the enchanting cableway that takes visitors to the plateau at its top. The upper cable station offers a breathtaking sight of the Cape Town, Table Bay and Robben Island to the north, and the Atlantic seaboard to the west and south. The mountain is also a popular destination among hikers and para-gliders across the globe.
