The Cape

Cape Town.... what a place! This is one of the top holiday destinations in the world and it really does have it all. Spend the long summer days on its famous Beaches, or cruising the Cape Peninsula looking at penguins and touching the tip of africa, shopping in the Waterfront, restaurant and bar hopping in the City Bowl or relaxing in the  Constantia Winelands.

If  complex award winning wines, excellent cuisine, superb accommodation and endless vineyard filled valleys sheltered beneath craggy mountain peaks excites you then a trip to the Winelands is a must. Winter or summer - it makes no difference as the landscape is magnificent in every season, and the cellar tours and restaurants are always top class.

Seafood platters on the beach, carpets of colour in spring as the wildflowers bloom, ancient mountains and caves hiding bushman paintings and icy cold refreshing rivers winding their way through narrow valleys provide the visitor to the Cape Wilderness and West Coast with a range of completely different outdoor activities to enjoy, from active to sedate.

Every year from June to December the whales arrive in the bays along the Whale Route to calve. Low seaside cliffs provide excellent viewpoints and allow you to get within feet of a whale without ever leaving dry land. Specialized Whale Boat Safaris leave regulary from the harbour in Hermanus which is a vibrant seaside town with some excellent restaurants.
