Also known as the Mother City, Cape Town is an epicentre for award-winning cuisine and fascinating culture. Our holiday packages have something for every kind of adventurer. Active folks can strap on their walking shoes and hike to the top of Table Mountain (or catch a cable car and say they did) to enjoy an incredible view of the city. After all of that, you’ll need a few days sprawled out on beautiful Boulders Beach, which also happens to be home to a pretty friendly penguin population. Foodies should definitely spend some time along the Atlantic Seaboard, which is also known as Cape Town’s ‘Riviera’ and stretches from the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront on the north shore of Table Mountain all the way down the west side of the cape peninsula to Hout Bay, while wine lovers will drawn to Cape Winelands like moths to a flame. This collection of historic towns, tiny hamlets and farmsteads are responsible for providing South African wines to the world. History buffs won’t be able to resist a trip to the windswept Robben Island to visit the world-renowned museum as well as Bo-Kaap’s pastel coloured houses and cobble-stoned streets. Those looking for an elevated Cape Town experience will enjoy the gourmet beachfront restaurants and boutique hotels of Camps Bay.
