Cape Town boasts one of the finest settings in the world. Lying at the tip of Africa, where majestic mountains tumble into lively seas and windswept beaches are home to penguins and seals and a stunning range of superb restaurants. Table Mountain dominates the landscape and divides the city up into numerous very distinct areas. From the buzzing waterfront to the trendy city bowl and leafy vineyards of Constantia, this city is a melting pot of cultures. With a world class dining scene, an amazing range of hotels and activities to suit every interest, Cape Town is a fantastic destination for every traveller. Whether you are looking to enjoy the beaches, the wine-farms or just the buzz of the city – Cape Town makes a perfect contrast to the wilderness of the Okavango.

The city is defined by its spectacular natural surroundings, which host its most famous visitor attractions. Cape Point, Table Mountain, Robben Island, Chapman’s Peak, Boulders Beach, Vineyards, Beaches and so much more. It is a city which really deserves to be explored beyond the lively waterfront, fun as it is.

First and foremost Table Mountain, a must visit. This distinct mountain crowns the city and offers awe-inspiring views of the city and the rest of the beautiful Table Mountain National Park, which is an impressive 221 km2 reaching all the way to the Peninsular. And a trip to the Peninsular and Cape Point will really showcase the best of this stunning area, ideally on Chapman’s Peak Drive, a  spectacular road skirting the Atlantic seaboard which will stay with you forever. Cape Point marks the point where the two oceans, the Indian and the Atlantic meet, and the end of the national park. Expect to see baboons, antelope and wonderful birdlife on your visit here.

The numerous beaches which line the coast are all distinct in their individual settings and experience offering something for everyone. Whether you are looking for something trendy like Camps Camp and Clifton beaches, something quiet and secluded like Llandudno beach or a long walk or surf on Long Beach, you are sure to find what you are looking for. Just remember the water around Cape Town is cold!

Penguins are another iconic image of Cape Town. Children will be delighted with the experience at Boulder’s Bay, where thousands of African Penguins have made their home. Further out of town, and less busy is Stoney Point, another impressive colony of these little characters.

The stunning landscapes and natural surroundings of Cape Town offer a spectacular playground to a huge range of activities. From hiking to surfing, mountain biking or paragliding, kayaking, snorkelling, diving, abseiling, climbing, wind-surfing, stand-up-paddle-boarding…the list is endless.

Cape Town has become synonymous with fine dining and equally fine wines –with an impressive and ever growing list of award winning restaurants, such as The Test Kitchen and La Colombe. It is certainly one of the most exciting cities to eat out, with an every changing food scene. Cape Town has fantastic restaurants at every price point, from foodie markets and playful pop ups to chef tables and wine farm picnics. It really offers a foodie safari like no other.

The city is often described as a melting pot of cultures, with Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Hindu and African beliefs all living in the city. A walk through the colourful Bo-Kaap district, the Cape Malay quarter of the city, showcases this well. Food tours have become popular in this colourful district and offer a delicious way to learn more about this interesting ethic group of the city while sampling their famous aromatic cuisine.

Cape Town is steeped in history, and a number of tours offer fascinating insight into its rich and troubled past. The city has been receiving Western visitors and colonists since the 15^th century when Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias first reached the area. The Portuguese, Dutch East India Company and British all ruled here at one time – leaving their mark as colonists do. More recently Cape Town was greatly affected by Apartheid and this changed the face of the city permanently. The District Six Museum tells this story well, and along with other sites such as Robben Island, Slave Lodge and Company Gardens which showcase the city’s history.

Cape Town Airport is well connected and serviced by a number of international airlines. Importantly, there are daily direct flights to Maun, the gateway to the Okavango, meaning a safari to this pristine wilderness is only a 2 hour flight away. For those looking to safari even further, there are direct flights to Kruger as well. We know the region extremely well and are experts at designing tailormade itineraries to include all your preferred destinations.
