Cape Point

At the tip of the Cape Peninsula 60 km south-west of Cape Town, lies Cape Point, a nature reserve within the Table Mountain National Park; a declared Natural World Heritage Site.

How to Enjoy Cape Point

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.

We bought a return ticket, unfortunately go up works, return the funicular didn work, so we walked downstairs. And what we realize: Some prices in the shop at the top are cheaper than downstairs. But other than that, the view was spectacular.

As always, amazing, friendly and professional staff. One of my American travelers was sick, and after a bathroom run, stood about 20 people behind the group. We were very uncomfortable and scared to ask the lady at the gate to allow them to join the group. But she did it with so much professionalism without any of the people waiting in the long line complaining. THANK YOU for her kindness and empathy.
