Overview
#Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve Large parts of the Cape Peninsula are under formal conservation. All of these conservation areas fall within the Table Mountain National Park. One of these is the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. It incorporates the southern section of the Peninsula, which includes three promontories at its Southernmost point called Cape Point, Cape Maclear and the Cape of Good Hope. The Reserve encompasses 7 750 hectares of rich and varied flora and fauna. Its 40 kilometre coastline stretches from Schuster's Bay in the west to Smitswinkel Bay in the east. It has a variety of antelope, including the biggest antelope in South Africa - the Eland. It also provides a safe haven for big troops of baboon as well as other small wildlife species.
Cape Point marks the point where the mountain range extending southwards from Table Mountain, some 60 km away, eventually terminates in the Atlantic Ocean. The Point features steep cliffs and rough seas. It is extremely scenic.The best views are gained from the base of the lighthouse (1860) at the top of the ridge. A visit to Cape Point is highly recommended for all visitors to Cape Town as part of the full day Cape Peninsula Tour.
