Cape Town

For a continent not famous for its ‘must see’ cities, Cape Town is the exception. Similar to all harbour cities, Cape Town has a laid-back atmosphere, great beaches and a harbour with a vibrant waterfront atmosphere. Home to many popular scenic attractions, including the dramatic, flat topped Table Mountain, the nearby Cape Winelands region, which was established by German and French winemakers in the 1700s and Boulders Beach, the location of a penguin colony. Not to mention Cape Point Nature Reserve, located at the tip of the Cape Peninsula and the site of many heroic and treacherous tales of sea.

Cape Town is also rich in culture and history. From Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated, the District Six Museum, which details the demise of a successful multiracial community due to apartheid, and the Castle of Good Hope, a bastion fort built by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century.
