Cape Town
Like a sword and shield, the Cape Peninsula and looming Table Mountain encloses South Africa’s legislative capital, a vigilant home to stunning natural sights. Cable cars, paragliding and hiking trails facilitate fantastic expeditions from Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden to the Cape of Good Hope. An array of fauna, including the infamous Great White Shark, and a Garden Route filled with South African culinary and experiential joys make Cape Town worth defending.
