The Cape of Good Hope, located in Table Mountain National Park, South Africa, is a scenic headland known for its rugged cliffs, rich biodiversity, and historical significance. Often mistaken as Africa’s southernmost point, it is where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. The area is home to baboons, ostriches, antelopes, and over 250 bird species. Visitors can explore Cape Point Lighthouse, Diaz Beach, and hiking trails or take the Flying Dutchman Funicular to a panoramic viewpoint. The best time to visit is September–April for pleasant weather and whale watching. Entry fees start at $20 for international visitors, and it is a 1.5-hour drive from Cape Town.
