Cape Town features on almost every itinerary we put together, and as our-head office is based in the beautiful city, it is fair to say we have an excellent grasp of all that is available.
A Cape Town vacation is marked by blue seas, white sands, endless summer days, trendy restaurants, unbeatable nightlife, beautiful people, beautiful places and plentiful Cape Town hotel options and Cape Town villa options.
Surrounded by the Atlantic and Indian Oceans and protected by the majestic Table Mountain, Cape Town is the ultimate vacation destination. No Cape Town holiday is complete without a trip up Table Mountain via the Cableway which provides 360 degree views of all the splendour that Cape Town has to offer and is an excellent way to get your bearings before heading out to explore.
Capetown vacations are internationally renowned for the scenic drives and gorgeous beaches you will encounter. A drive along the Atlantic seaboard will take you past Clifton - the most popular stretch of beach in the country, Camps Bay - a slice of tropical island paradise with beach side cafes, restaurants and night-time hotspots, Llandudno - a surfers dream complete with bronzed bikini clad maidens, and then on to Hout Bay - a fishing village and small harbour with excellent seafood and boat trips out to Seal Island.Then it's over Chapman's Peak - a mountain pass carved into a sheer cliff face rising up out of the Atlantic Ocean with arguably the best views you'll ever see from inside a vehicle - and on towards distant Cape Point Nature Reserve along a road that hugs a coastline filled with crashing waves, dolphins and whales, all available on our Cape Town tours and activities.
After a visit to Cape Point return via False Bay where you will find a colony of Jackass penguins en-route, a naval base at Simon's Town and the National Botanical Gardens at Kirstenbosch - one of the worlds finest with over 5000 plant species and incredible hikes and views.
A must visit during your Cape Town holiday are the rolling vineyards of the Cape Wine Route, including the wine region of Constantia, and further afield Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl.
Back in Cape Town you'll find the Castle of Good Hope - the oldest building in South Africa and protector of the new Cape, the Bo Kaap - a Cape Malay area with beautifully coloured historic houses and then finally the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront. No Cape Town holiday is complete without a trip to this working harbour, shopping and entertainment complex. From this harbour in the centre of Cape Town, travel by boat, on a day trip to Robben Island - the former prison island where Nelson Mandela spent 27 years of his life.
By world standards Cape Town is a small city, confined in its growth by both the sea and the mountain and covering only a dozen or so blocks. Its suburbs however are enormous, located in widely varied surroundings and stretching outwards from the city centre for tens of kilometres. What makes a Cape Town vacation so interesting are the attractions located in each of these suburbs. Each suburb is rich in a culture and history as varied as the surroundings you find them in. The contrasts between Bishops Court, Kommetjie, the Cape Flats and Khayelitsha are mind boggling, reflecting South Africa's deeply divided past. Township tours are a major attraction and give visitors insights into exactly what life is like for the underprivileged and the innovative ways they have come up with to try and improve their situations.
CAPE TOWN SEASONS
Summer (October to February): Long days and hot, sunny weather. This is most popular time to visit.
Autumn/Fall (February to April): Autumn (or the secret season) has hot sunny days and warm, balmy nights.
Winter (May to July): The Cape gets most of its rain in winter, with quite a few days of cloudy, rainy weather. However, these are mild and always interspersed with wonderful days to rival the best of a British summer.
Spring (August to October): A spectacular time when thousands of small plants come to life and cover the fields in a carpet of flowers.
