Table Mountain – Cape Town
Gone are the days of the rickety metal framework which used to take tourists from the base of table Mountain to the top plateau. To day the visitor is transported to the top of the mountain within 5 minutes in a bright shiny rotating gondola, a product of the 21 century!

Glentana – Garden Route

Posted in Western Cape on January 24th, 2010 by South Africa Travels Webmaster – Be the first to comment

Glentana is a small village located east of the Great Brak River along the Garden Route where the coast is edged by a string of seaside holiday houses.
The line ends in the little holiday village of Glentana where the golden beach meets the first rocky bluffs of the Outeniqua coastal barrier and where rank upon rank of attractive homes perch on a steep hillside.

The cliffs here are composed of the orange-red rock characteristic of the region.

The beach at Glentana slopes fairly steeply, but it is a popular venue with surfers and surf anglers.
