Cape Town Highlights:

Cape Town is rated as one of the most beautiful cities in the world and for good reason: few cities are home to white sandy beaches, scenic hiking trails, spectacular ocean views and a 3,563 foot mountain!

Cape Town has something for everyone. Nature lovers can explore national parks, picturesque botanical gardens, historic winelands, and endless stretches of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean coasts. Adventure-seekers can sail, paraglide, surf, bungee jump, shark cage dive, sandboard, cycle, climb, run, paddle, and swim their way around the Western Cape at any time of the year. Culture-vultures can explore Cape Town's interesting political history, experience the art forms of its diverse cultures and learn more about social change and development in a new democracy. For socialites and foodies there are world-class restaurants, friendly locals and a vibrant nightlife.

With so much to do and see in Cape Town and South Africa, we're always happy to provide advice on how to plan your adventure.
