WESTERN CAPE
NATURECape of Good Hope
The dramatic tip of the Cape Peninsula
Part of Table Mountain National Park, the Cape of Good Hope is one of the most famous headlands in the world, though not actually Africa's southernmost point. The cliffs, fynbos, ocean views, ostriches and baboons make the drive as memorable as the destination itself. Nearby Cape Point, with its lighthouse and steep funicular, is the viewpoint most visitors remember.
