Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope

From Cape Town we drove to Table Mountain (which is adjacent to the city). You have to park your car beneath the mountain and take a cable lift to the top. This will give you stunning views of the Cape Town area and the mountain area behind Table Mountain. It's worth to spend some time here.

After Table Mountain we left for the Cape of Good Hope Natural Reserve. As soon as you leave the outskirts of Cape Town you can enjoy beautiful landscaping. Just minutes after entering the reserve we spotted some ostriches and after parking our car near the Cape Point baboons were all around. Be careful with those because they can be very aggressive :)

A cable car called "Vlieënde Hollander" (Flying Dutchmen) took us to Cape Point lighthouse. At the lighthouse you can overview the entire western cape area. After a nice lunch and some baboon watching we drove along the road to the actual most south-western point of the African continent. This is a good place to spot penguins. From here we drove to Swellendam to the east of Cape Town where we enjoyed the evening and spent the night.
