Cape Town, the Mother City of Africa, is the second most populous urban area in South Africa. The coastal city is the Legislative capital of the country and provincial capital of the Western Cape. It is famous for its harbour and well known landmarks such as the Table Mountain and Cape Point.
Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town is a multicultural city resulting from the cohabitation of Indonesian, French Dutch, British and German settlers as well as local Bushman and Hottentot tribes, and the Bantu tribes. It is often likened to South Carlifornia because of its extensive coastline, rugged mountain ranges, inland valleys and coastal plains.
