Tick ‘Table Mountain’ off your bucket list when you hit Cape Town. Catch the cable car that travels the 1089m right up to the top of the majestic mountain. When you arrive you can indulge in a bite to eat, enjoy the view, purchase a souvenir from the curio shop, take part in the audio tour or abseil down the side of the mountain should the fancy take you. The top is yours to explore. For more information about what is available and a list of prices, check out their website here: http://www.tablemountain.net/
Built for the 2010 FIFA World Cup, Moses Mabhida Stadium towers over the skyline, inviting citizens to come and explore. Soak in as much of Durban as you can from a 106m height in the SkyCar experience, allowing a breathtaking 360° view. For the more steel-willed, take a leap off the edge and bungee jump off the highest point of the stadium on the Big Rush Big Swing (officially named the world’s tallest swing by the Guinness Book of Records since 14 May 2011). Then there are stadium tours (you can walk or use a Segway!), adventure walks, a Visitor’s Centre and the People’s Park to experience.
