Cape Town
Cape Town, the Mother City, brings together Table Mountain, penguin beaches and Cape Point, with safari just a short drive away.
Cape Town sits at the southwestern tip of Africa, where Table Mountain rises above the Atlantic Ocean. Ride the cable car to the top for views over the city and coastline, wander through the colourful streets of Bo-Kaap, and spend an afternoon at the V&A Waterfront.
Drive the Cape Peninsula past Hout Bay and Chapmans Peak to Boulders Beach, where African penguins roam the shore, and finish at Cape Point, where the Cape of Good Hope meets two oceans. For something special, take a helicopter flight along the coast or a sunset cruise with champagne. Safari lovers can visit Aquila Game Reserve, about 2.5 hours from the city.
Cape Town suits honeymooners, families and first-time visitors to Africa, with city sightseeing, scenery and wildlife all within easy reach.
