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 funicular was a great excitement and anticipated day out with my kids. They were very much looking forward to ridding it up to the lighthouse. When we got there however it was shut for routine maintenance. Despite having booked on line there was no communication anywhere that this would be the case. I'd even searched online to try defend whether it was running or not prior to the fact. It was very disappointing ting to have to use the shuttle after having already paid. You really need to communicate these this more openly. Fortunately just before descending again the concession stand lady mentioned that it might start running again shortly. So fortunately after hanging around for 45 minutes we were able to second on the funicular. Again more communication needs to be put out on this matter.
