Things to Do in Higgovale, Cape Town

A steep, wooded enclave high on the City Bowl beneath Table Mountain, threaded with villas and switchback roads. Kloof Nek connects it to Camps Bay, while trailheads into the national park and dramatic views over central Cape Town make landscape—not shops or nightlife—the neighborhood's defining feature.
