Encompassing 7 750 hectares of rich and varied flora and fauna; abounding with buck, baboons and Cape mountain zebra as well as over 250 species of birds, Cape Point is a nature enthusiast’s paradise.
Named the ‘Cape of Storms’ by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488; the ‘Point’ was treated with respect by sailors for centuries. By day, it was a navigational landmark and by night, and in fog, it was a menace beset by violent storms and dangerous rocks that over the centuries littered shipwrecks around the coastline.
Cape Point is in the Cape of Good Hope nature reserve within Table Mountain National Park, which forms part of the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site. It includes the majestic Table Mountain chain, which stretches from Signal Hill to Cape Point, and the coastlines of the Cape Peninsula. This narrow stretch of land, dotted with beautiful valleys, bays and beaches, contains a mix of extraordinarily diverse and unique fauna and flora.

The only bad thing about the funicular was that it was an extremely hot day and there was no airflow, fan or air conditioning on the funicular, and as someone with a medical condition where I faint, I nearly passed out due to having to stand in a packed funicular. It was awful. If there had been airflow or a fan it would be greatly improved.

Very ordinary experience. The Funicular was out of operation for the day. No reason was given. The power was on. There was no wind. Staff did not know why it wasn't operating. The replacement bus services were very ordinary. Such wonderful natural resources, a shame the operators don't know how to run a world class tourist facility. Wont be returning.
