About Table Mountain National Park
Table Mountain National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the New7Wonders of Nature, encompassing the entire Cape Peninsula from Table Mountain to the Cape of Good Hope. This iconic flat-topped mountain rises 1,085 meters above Cape Town, creating one of the most photographed natural landmarks on Earth. The park protects the Cape Floral Kingdom — the smallest yet richest of the world's six plant kingdoms — with over 2,285 plant species, many found nowhere else on Earth.
