Table Mountain looms over Cape Town at the southern tip of the continent at the Cape of Good Hope. Along with the peaks of Signal Hill Devil's Peak and Lion's Head it forms a huge natural amphitheater in which the Dutch settlers of the 17th century first established what would become Cape Town. With its flat top well over a thousand meters above sea level at its highest point at Maclear's Beacon Table Mountain is often obscured by clouds from ground level. But you can take the famous cable car up to the top.
