If you are more outdoorsy, then Cape Town is the place for you! Why not hike to the top of Table Mountain for the ultimate views or climb up Lion's head for an incredible sunrise or sunset or take a dip down at any of the stunning beaches on the way to Cape Peninsula to cool off. If history is more your thing, then visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned during the apartheid era. Cape Town Castle should also be on your to-do list, as it’s the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa.
At night, Cape Town really comes alive! Head to a trendy rooftop bar and sip cocktails as the sun sets or dance the night away to the rhythms of African music in a local jazz bar.
No matter what kind of holiday you are looking for, Cape Town ticks all the boxes. Take in all the stunning surroundings, adventure and explore, or simply unwind and relax.
things to see and do in cape town
Table Mountain
Standing over Cape Town, Table Mountain is an iconic symbol of natural beauty and wonder. Its distinctive flat-topped silhouette, usually covered by the mystical 'table cloth' of clouds, brings in people from around the world.
Cape Peninsula
Cape Peninsula is a breath-taking stretch of land where rugged cliffs meet the Atlantic Ocean. Home to iconic landmarks such as Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, this peninsula is full of natural wonders.
Whale Watching
The Cape Town coastline is visited by numerous whale and dolphin species, including southern right whales and humpback whales, which migrate each year from the icy waters of Antarctica to have their young.
V&A Waterfront
A vibrant hub of Cape Town, the V&A Waterfront blends luxury shopping, world-class dining, and stunning harbour views. It's a lively destination with boutique stores, art galleries, and waterfront restaurants.
get in touch with us Talk to our Africa Specialist - Elliot
Shortly after joining the travel industry in 2013, Elliot had his first taste of Africa, with an unforgettable safari in Tanzania. The raw, untamed wildness and unique beauty had him hooked from day one. He has since explored a dozen African countries in depth, mostly in Southern and East Africa. Elliot proposed to his wife in Botswana and they honeymooned in Uganda.
