Wondering what it feels like to be at the edge of the world? We traveled to South Africa with Indus Travels and one of the highlights of the trip was the climb to the top of Table Mountain. It's an edge-of-the-earth adventure like no other on top of Africa's southernmost city where two oceans collide.
In this vlog, we travel to the top of Cape Town's highest peak, Table Mountain for epic 360 degree views of the city. Cape Town Travel Vlog:
We take the cable car, which has rotating floors up to the top of the peak. From the top, we can see Lion's Head and the beaches of Camp's Bay down below. It's a staggering 3,558 feet high!
There's always a National Geographic moment in South Africa. Here we spot the dassies, which are closely related to elephants (no lie!).
Be sure to check the Table Mountain website before embarking on your journey as the cable car runs when weather is permitted.
