Introduction

About Cape Town

Backed by the dramatic summit of Table Mountain, Cape Town is arguably one of the worlds most beautiful cities. It boasts an enviable setting on the southwest coast of South Africa, with the wild landscapes of the Cape Peninsula and the Cape Winelands within easy reach.  

 During an extended stay in Cape Town, you can wander the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap and explore the majestic gardens of Kirstenbosch, which is particularly famed for its protea displays. In the city centre, youll find colourful markets selling African artworks and crafts, as well as fascinating museums such as District Six and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art. On Robben Island, you can see where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated before discovering all the vibrancy of the V&A Waterfront.  

 Whether youre visiting Cape Town before or after your South Africa safari, let our team of experts craft the perfect holiday package for a hassle-free stay.
