Inspired by one of the strongest mountains on earth (the rock formations of Table Mountain are said to be of the hardest in the world). A beacon of hope, since the first explorers, sailors, political prisoners and visitors alike first saw Table Mountain. It is the defining visual icon of Cape Town and South Africa and the backdrop to the unfolding of South African history. Table Mountain is an UNESCO World Heritage Site and has recently been nominated as one of the prestigious New 7 Wonders of Nature.
