The destination

About Cape Town

Cape Town is regularly voted the world's most beautiful city, and it argues its case daily: Table Mountain's flat crown above city bowl and beaches, the Twelve Apostles marching down the Atlantic seaboard, and two oceans meeting off the Cape of Good Hope. Ride the cableway at dawn, meet the penguins at Boulders Beach, drive Chapman's Peak to Cape Point, and give Robben Island the reflective visit it deserves. The Constantia and Stellenbosch winelands begin twenty minutes away, the perfect civilised counterweight to a Kruger safari.
