A leading destination of the rich and famous, ‘the fairest Cape’, is known throughout the world for its scenic splendour and cosmopolitan sophistication. It is in Cape Town that the Rainbow Nation really covers the spectrum with cultural diversity.

Between beautiful Cape Dutch homesteads, elegant Georgian townhouses, traditional dancers and minstrels performing in the city streets, the smell of spicy Malay cooking, the taste of a well made wine, and the sound of the snoek horn advertising the wares of fish vendors, this city will fill your senses. The bells of St George’s Cathedral alternate with the plaintive tones of the muezzin calling the faithful to prayer. Visitors give a startled jump, and Capetonians calmly glance at their watches, when the noon gun booms above the city – a relic from the days of sail when sea captains had to check their chronometers.

You will never be bored in Cape Town. Table Mountain offers some of the best climbing in the world. The surfing and diving are fantastic. There is mountain biking or sand boarding and sea kayaking, where you may see seals, dolphins or penguins.

There is a multitude of varied shopping malls and flea markets, live music, art exhibitions, ballet and symphony concerts to enjoy.
