The area
Table Mountain National Park, previously known as the Cape Peninsula National Park, is a national park in Cape Town, South Africa, proclaimed on 29 May 1998, for the purpose of protecting the natural environment of the Table Mountain chain, and in particular the rare fynbos vegetation. The park contains two well-known landmarks, Table Mountain, for which the park is named and the Cape of Good Hope, the most southwestern extremity of Africa.
