Cape Town
"Mother City" is the affectionate term for Cape Town, the oldest city in South Africa and the country's legislative capital. With Table Mountain as a dramatic backdrop, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Founded in 1652 as a victualling station for the ships of the Dutch East India Company on their way to and from the East, Cape Town has grown to a great modern complex. Cape Town lies at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula which also contains its suburbs and the busy harbour of Table Bay, fishing villages, extensive vineyards, a spectacularly beautiful marine drive, innumerable beaches along its two shorelines, several nature reserves, including the Cape of Good Hope Reserve at the southern tip of the Peninsula, and the world-renowned National Botanic Gardens at Kirstenbosch on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
