A hike up Table Mountain with a group of students from Stellenbosch University’s Hiking Club in support of our mountain in the New 7 Wonders of Nature. We chose to walk up via Platteklip Gorge and to take the Cable Car down, thanks to complimentary tickets from the Vote for Table Mountain campaign.

A national treasure in Cape Town has recently been selected by National Geographic as one of the best picnic spots in the world.

Kirstenbosch Gardens offers locals that chance to get away from it all.
