My heart sank as I watched the clouds roll in from the 25th-floor restaurant. What was I going to tell my guests? Had I made the wrong choice by leaving 30 minutes early?
​The air was crisp and chilly as we arrived at the Table Mountain Cableway, with the clouds still looming overhead. Since we were one of the first groups there, we boarded the second car up the mountain.
​On our ascent, we ascended through the clouds and emerged into a breathtaking scene. Below us, the clouds created a pristine white sea, and above, Lion's Head, Devil's Peak, and Table Mountain towered in the clear air. It was a world from a galaxy far, far away.
​Stepping off the cable car, we were met with a stunning transformation. The sun was warm on our skin, and the wind was gone. We had an unforgettable morning on what felt like a different planet entirely.

The deep blue ocean stretches out from Table Mountain, with a view of Robben Island in the distance. It's the only place in the world where you can see one UNESCO World Heritage Site from another.

One of the unexpected highlights of our Kruger National Park visit near Leeupan was observing this young Tawny Eagle. For a good 50 minutes, he entertained us with his fascination for his own reflection in the water puddles. He was so engrossed that we were able to carefully move closer and enjoy an extended, intimate view.
