South Africa's Table Mountain has been declared the most recognized site in Cape Town and the gateway to Africa by the New Open World Corporation. The mountain, based on its diverse flora and fauna, incredible views and population of rare animal species, has been selected as a finalist in the New Seven Wonders of Nature campaign, according to the organization's website.
Visitors to Table Mountain can ascend the flat-topped peaks of its summit 1,000 meters above sea level by cable car, and enjoy views that have been described as phenomenal and spectacular by Lonely Planet. Those who are seeking more extreme adventure travel can choose to hike up the mountain, but should keep in mind that conditions can become treacherous quickly, which has led more than one hiker to perish on the trek.
Once explorers have reached the top of Table Mountain, the extremely adventurous can abseil down its side and experience what it feels like to rappel into pure vertical space. Marketed as an adrenaline-pumping adventure by Abseil Africa, a tour group that offers the activity, this adventuresome endeavor can be enjoyed by inexperienced hikers and is guaranteed to be safe by the company.
