If you’re going up Table Mountain be prepared. The weather can be very different from below. Apparently it has its own micro climate & there’s an amazing diversity of flora & fauna up there.

Robben Island. Yes. The name just wouldn't pop into my head.

We made up our own tour of the Garden route. Picked up a hire car from the airport and had 10 days driving along the coast. Then last 4 days in Cape Town before we flew home. CT is an amazing city. Beaches and mountains. Definitely do table top. We caught the cable car up.. and walked for ages on the top of the mountain. Crowds around the cable car station, but almost empty for the rest of the hike. I’d do that again rather than hike up. We went 2006

It's a long time since we went but, the penguins are fun but they pop into many beaches along the way not just Boulders. Table Mountain is well worth it, the aquarium at Cape Town was great too. Great walking in Olifantsbos Beach (bit of a drive but special). Beware the baboons!

Many times. Robben Island is a must. Also Camps Bay, Simons Town and Cape Point.
