The many beaches and coves along the peninsula would be my personal favourite for a visit. Muizenberg and all the towns along the way to Cape Point springs to mind.
Totally awesome. I have travelled a bit but I truly love coming back to Cpt , as soon as you see the flat top mountain and get the smell of the ocean you know you're home. Thanks Mr Fabe and team for sharing our glorious 8th wonder of the world with everyone to enjoy.
Kim thank you for sharing this very interesting video have learnt so much of the Cape from just watching this - I have shared it with my family and friends - keep up with the fantastic work you and your team are doing -
Kim, the lady in the video and with the beautiful grey lioness mane, is a good friend of mine, and probably one of of the best Cape Town locals guides you can wish for a tour of the "Mother City". So do follow her channel, you'll learn volumes about fascinating Cape Town, plus you'll have fun!
when i saw the white sands up on the top of those mountains and table mountain i knew , the whole cape town was under the water. I also found a huge foot mark on the rock in the wild up there in the mountain. I believe its a giant's footmark probably lived millions of years ago. I also have pictures .
There are also said to be remains of an ancient Phoenician boat, and Phoenician artefacts, somewhere in Cape Town. And, that it's not well known, and somewhat suppressed. According to legends there were ancient Phoenicians who headed eastward, and returned from the westward direction.
People do say there is a possibility of that, it would be in the area of where the Cape Flats are today, as that was at one stage under water. They have found remains of wood, which could have been boats, but apparently difficult to verify, since wood ages.
History is indeed interesting. It is believed that that painting was in fact Bartholomew Vermuyden. But then again, I never met Jan, so not sure what he looked like. I have although read many journals around that time, where people do describe him.
@5:56 you mention the Acacia trees. Do you know which species of Acacia this is? You also mentioned traditional healers using it for medicinal purposes. I could not find any information about this online and was hoping you could tell me more about how this medicine is used or for what purpose. I am doing a personal investigation.
There is no malaria in the Cape, but 5 million years ago, the Cape did have a subtropical climate and could well have had malaria then. The fever tree is not endemic to the Cape, but has been planted here and is used for medicinal purposes, hence we spoke about the name of the tree. But good observation 😁 and yes, we only have nice mosquitos in the Cape 😄
Maria was khoisan Woman. Khoisan people trade with Spain poeple and Chines for 1000 years before Jan Van.Reebeeck come to capetown pleaseeeeeeeee white boere lies
Hi, according to history, not boere history, history of France and Europe, Maria was French. But perhaps what you are referring to if the rumoured affair that JvR had, with Krotoa, from the Goringhaicona tribe. Regards trading, I doubt it was 1000 years beforein South Africa. But a few hundred years before, the Khoe and San were trading with the Arabs who it is said had Indian navigators.

Terence, I couldn't agree more. You see the mountain from far away and it gives you that warm fuzzy feeling 😁

Wonderful, you should share the pictures with us, post on our Facebook page, we'd love to see them.

From my understanding, there is a painting in Den Haag that depicts Jan van Riebeek pretty much as he appeared on SA banknotes. for a long time.😊

Hi Ashley, the tree is Acacia xanthophloea. The bark is used to treat fever and the roots are used to treat malaria.
Have a look at "African Plant Hunter" on RUclips, he has a video on the medicinal uses.xx
Kwaai
Dankie 😁
Muchas Gracias, super interesante y muy buenos tips, un beso
De nada Ian y gracias por vuestro comentario xx
Gee, i never even knew there were malaria mosquitos in Cape Town.
These trees were planted in Cape Town but got the name up north where they grow naturally
