Understand

Table Mountain National Park is an expansive natural reserve, stretching from Table Mountain to Cape Point on the Cape Peninsula. The park encompasses diverse areas such as Tokai Forest, Silvermine, and marine protected areas. It is constantly expanding and undergoing development to connect its various patches across the peninsula. While Cape Hope is a famous landmark, it is not the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula; that distinction belongs to Cape Point, also part of the park. For those looking to explore the southernmost point of Africa, Cape Agulhas in the Overberg region is where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet.
