Table Mountain

The best-known of South Africa's mountains, is 1 086 m above sea level at its highest point, Maclear's Beacon, which is a 50-minute easy walk from the upper cable-way station. The first recorded ascent was in 1503 by the Portuguese navigator Admiral Antonio de Saldanha, who named the mountain Taboa do Cabo, 'the Table Head'. As recently as 400 years after the admiral's climb there were only six known routes up the mountain, but today there are more than 300. From Table Mountain a 50 km range reaches southward to Cape Point, forming the backbone of the Cape Peninsula. This mountain chain is a botanist's paradise, with roughly 2 250 plant species, some of which are found nowhere else in the world. And, although hunters have exterminated all the big game from the mountain, there are still dozens of species of small fauna. There is even a patch of land about the size of a soccer field and known only to a handful of lepidopterists on which the world's only colony of a certain species of butterfly exists.
