South Africa has some of the most stunning vistas I’ve seen. Here are two of my favourite places to stand on the edge of a cliff and just stare at the view…
Standing on the top of Table Mountain looking out over the Twelve Apostles with the Camps Bay area just glimpsed to the left.
This photo is taken from the edge of Table Mountain looking over Cape Town. Robben Island can be seen on the left of the picture.
Moving on to Mpumalanga Province near Kruger National Park, the Three Rondavels are found along the Panorama Route which also takes in a series of waterfalls, God’s Window viewpoint and Bourke’s Luck potholes.
A little to the left of the Three Rondavels lies the Blyde River Canyon. I thought this viewpoint was more interesting than that of God’s Window but neither should be missed.
Just don’t stand too close to the edge – there are no guard rails!
What divine scenery….
It’s beautiful. We were lucky with the weather as it’s so often foggy on the top of Table Mountain.
Lovely ..absolutely divine, my home…beautiful SA
We thought it was a fabulous place. We’d love to return one day.
Wow!!!
What an incredible series…
Thank you for sharing these stunning images 🙂
Glad you liked them 🙂
Majestic! If I didn’t love blue and green before, I sure doubly do now. I can see myself sitting on a rock and just communing with the expense that is part of our beautiful earth. Thanks for sharing!
It certainly invites contemplation. Very easy to lose yourself there 🙂
Exactmundo!
Beautiful! :o)
Good old Mother Nature 😉
Wow – you must be soo glad you got so much travelling done before the kids came along…
? I’m still gaping in awe. Can someone pls teleport me??!
I am, yes, but giving it up for a couple of years has been hard! 😉
South Africa is amazing, I hope I get to go back one day…
Very beautiful pictures! I’m going there next week, I’m so curious!
So jealous! Have a great time!
thanks! and thank you for following my blog 🙂
No problem! It’s a great read 🙂
Stunning shots all round and the top of Table Mountain looks like such a peaceful place to be. Blyde River looks so smooth and blue from above. The clouds overhead adds more texture to the image – and they looks like soft pillows 🙂 Hope you had a great time hiking around that area. I would love to hike that area some day 🙂
Thanks Mabel. While a blue sky is always beautiful I agree that clouds can make for a more atmospheric image. We did have a great time and if you ever get there make sure you go along the panorama route. I’ll write another post about it soon 🙂
Great shots. Did you check out the Kurger National Park too? How did you find South Africa overall?
We had a great time in SA. We felt safe the whole time but we didn’t venture off the tourist trail at all.
We had a week in and around Cape Town and then nearly a week in and around Kruger NP. We did some safaris which were great overall but don’t go in the afternoon, make sure you go early in the morning as you’ll see more.
Yup because most animals are more active during the morning and evening hours when its cooler. I’m a wildlife guise so I know a thing or two about them 😉 haha
Ha didn’t mean to tell you how to suck eggs! 😉
All good. keep the good stuff coming 🙂
Wow! Just wow! That looks so amazing…just breathtaking!! I really really really have to go there! That looks so surreal, so perfect…like a painting! I´m just in love with your photos! I bet you feel on top of the world there!! WOW!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed the post! Hope you get there one day 🙂
I sure hope I get there as soon as possible…there is such a wanderlust in my bones and that is a place I´ve always wanted to see!
I definitely understand the wanderlust. Travel is an addiction but a great one.
SUCH an addiction….never ending… 😉
These scenery photos are amazing! Capetown has always been high on my travel list, but for some reason I have just never made it there. You have just bumped it up to the top of the list again. 🙂
Thanks Ali! Glad you enjoyed the post. Cape Town is fabulous – we loved it! 🙂
Wow so beautiful!
Lovely photography -so serene and tempting- makes me want to plan a trip to South Africa soon!
Thank you! You should definitely go to SA. It’s a great place. We’re keen to go back as there’s plenty more to see.
I will plan a visit too – hopefully soon!
Lovely pgotograph

South Africa is a WONDERFUL place to live – I do not think one could ever get around to appreciate all the wonderful scenery and interesting places to see in a lifetime!
It is the most beautiful country I’ve visited. You could never get tired of it!

It’s so beautiful isn’t it? I’m so glad you liked the post ?

As a South African, still resident in the country, I know how stunningly beautiful it is here. It definitely is a world in one country.
It really is. Wonderful place – and still lots to see next time!
Wow amazing pics!

Great views of Cape Town! Wish to go to South Africa one day!
You definitely should, it was fabulous.
I will try to! It looks amazing! Hope you enjoy my blog as much as I do yours!
Simply breathtaking!
Thank you!
I was in South Africa earlier this year and enjoyed every bit of it. Beautiful photography!
It’s such a great place. I want to go back!
This is such a great photography! It feels so high above the ground. I am imagining how were you all able to climb it. Did it took more than a day?

You can walk up it but we didn’t – we took the bus and then a cable car ride! My husband was keen to walk up it but unfortunately I “forgot” my walking shoes 😉
Those pictures are truly amazing! As are all of the pics on your site! What kind of camera do you use?
Thank you Greg! These photos were taken with an old point and shoot (long gone so I can’t remember what it was!) The more recent posts have photos taken with a Nikon D3300. Some photos are taken with an iPhone, so a bit of a mix!
