    South Africa's Vibrant 'Mother City'

    Cape Town can really take your breath away. The horizon is dominated by the iconic Table Mountain rising up in the background, whilst in the foreground are the crisp waters of the cape and the laid-back bustle of the city’s waterfront skirted by sandy beaches and picturesque suburbs.

    This is the oldest city in South Africa, steeped in history and full of beautiful buildings from its colonial past. The tall mountains and green hills that surround the city have an immensely calming effect, helping this to be one of the most relaxing big city visits that you are likely to visit.

    Outside of the city itself there are many attractions that can be visited in a day trip, from the Cape of Good Hope to the rolling hills of the wine lands. We have a team of enthusiastic and knowledgeable local guides who’ll share the best of their city with you.

    The city has so much to offer, it’s hard to grasp it all. But then you look around and you realise, you can head in any direction and the adventure will unfold before you. Whether it’s culinary, adrenaline, cultural or natural adventures – you can have it all. Every day!

    When to visit

    Cape Town and along the Garden Route are great to visit any time of year, but early summer when the winds drops are particularly pleasant. If you’re visiting for safari, the dry winter months are often considered the best but the wetter summer months bring full waterholes, lush bushveld and lots of newborn animals.
