Review:
Cape Town is the capital of South Africa, located on a peninsula on the country’s southwest coast. It’s an incredibly vibrant city with a colorful and varied mix of cultures, as well as an abundance of outdoor activities both on land and in the water. Visitors to Cape Town can take a cable car ride up to the top of Table Mountain, which towers over the city, and from there they can see stunning views of the city, the surrounding land, and the deep blue of the South Atlantic Ocean. Visitors can also take a boat from Cape Town to Robben Island, where they will find the infamous prison that once held Nelson Mandela during apartheid. The prison is now a museum where guests can learn about the island’s history.
