A cable car ride up Table Mountain is an absolute must; where a spectacular view of Table Bay is an unforgettable site. Visitors to the Cape will also have the opportunity to share an important part of South Africa's history with a visit to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was held as a political prisoner.
