Ohne Zweifel ist es der Tafelberg, der Kapstadt zur einzigartigen Stadt macht. Über 1000 m über dem Meeresspiegel ist es das Symbol, das Kapstadt sofort erkennbar macht.
Der Berg bietet eine reiche Fauna und Flora, von denen viele endemisch sind (ausschließlich in einem bestimmten Gebiet beheimatet) und nur in dem einzigartigen Ökosystem auf den Hängen überleben. Ein Beispiel dafür ist der Tafelberg Geisterfrosch, ein Tier, das nirgendwo anders auf der Welt zu finden ist.
Der höchste Punkt ist Maclears Beacon, das 1085 Meter über dem Meeresspiegel liegt. Das Leuchtfeuer wurde 1865 von dem Mediziner und Astronomen Sir Thomas Maclear gebaut und diente zunächst als Triangulationsstation zur Messung der Erdkrümmung. Thomas Maclear war ein in Irland geborener südafrikanischer Stargazer, der 1833 am Cape of Good Hope zum Astronom seiner Majestät ernannt wurde.
