Cape Town

The Mother City of South Africa has it all: hip food markets, luxurious beaches, rich history and a diverse landscape. From vineyards to mountains and colourful culture, Cape Town continues to surprise. Let us take you to discover this vibrant city!

So much more than Table Mountain and Camps Bay

Cape Town isn’t just a city; it’s a whole world wrapped into one breathtaking bay. From the palm-lined beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton to the buzzing Sea Point Promenade, every corner offers something different. Think golden sands, dramatic mountains, rooftop bars, art galleries, and colourful neighbourhoods bursting with culture. Climb Lion’s Head at sunrise, wander Kalk Bay’s quirky shops, sip wine in Constantia, or surf Muizenberg’s waves. Explore historic Simon’s Town, paddle with penguins, or dance till sunrise in the city. Whether you're hiking, tasting, gallery-hopping or just soaking up the view, Cape Town is where adventure and creativity collide, all with Table Mountain watching over you.

Watersports and kitesurfing in Cape Town

If there’s one thing Cape Town doesn’t lack, it’s wind, and that’s exactly why it’s a watersports paradise. Whether you’re chasing waves, perfecting tricks, or just want to feel the spray in your face, this coastline has it all. Blouberg is world-famous for kitesurfing, with steady summer winds and that epic view of Table Mountain. Head to Sunset Beach for towering swells, Big Bay for flatwater tricks, and Dolphin Beach for après-kite beers at Pakalolo. Want something more relaxed? Try Muizenberg, a laid-back surf town where beginner waves roll in gently and those colourful beach huts make it picture-perfect. A bit further out, Blue Rock is a wakeboard and waterski playground set in a flooded quarry with cable lines, ramps, and crystal-clear water. And for a full watersports escape, drive up to Langebaan, where shallow lagoons and smooth wind make it ideal for sailing, kiting or learning to windsurf in Shark Bay. From flatwater finesse to full-send kite loops, Cape Town’s got your adrenaline covered.

Cape Peninsula

The Cape Peninsula is where rugged coastline, dramatic cliffs, and charming seaside towns come together in one of South Africa’s most iconic routes. Starting just outside Cape Town, this 75-kilometre stretch offers one jaw-dropping view after another. Wind your way through Misty Cliffs, a hidden gem known for its wild waves and peaceful, off-the-grid vibes. Stop in Scarborough for a lazy brunch and ocean breeze. Head to Simon’s Town, a historic naval base with Victorian charm, before visiting Boulders Beach, where a colony of African penguins waddles freely between granite boulders. Then there’s Kalk Bay, a quirky harbour town full of great seafood, colourful shops, and that laid-back coastal flair. Drive the legendary Chapman’s Peak, with its heart-stopping sea views and cliffside curves, before reaching Cape Point, where a lighthouse stands guard over sheer drops into the Atlantic. Whether you’re hiking, surfing, road-tripping or just soaking it all in, this is where nature, history, and local flavour collide.

Bo-Kaap: Colour, spice & stories on every corner

Bright houses, cobbled streets, and the smell of curry in the air. Welcome to Bo-Kaap, one of Cape Town’s most iconic neighbourhoods. Perched on the slopes of Signal Hill, this place bursts with colour and character. Every wall has a story, and every meal has history baked in. This is the heart of Cape Malay culture, where locals still greet you with a smile and a plate of koesisters fresh from the pan. Wander through the lanes, pop into a spice shop, or join a cooking class and learn the secrets behind those fragrant Cape Malay curries. It is vibrant, proud, and full of soul, exactly the kind of place we love.

Woodstock: Cape Town’s creative heart

Once an old industrial district, Woodstock has reinvented itself as Cape Town’s hub for art, design, and local flavour. It is gritty, colourful, and packed with character. Street art covers the walls, coffee roasters fill the air with that fresh brew smell, and markets buzz with locals and travellers hunting for handmade goods. The Old Biscuit Mill is the place to be on a Saturday, with live music, great food, and local fashion all under one roof. Walk through side streets to discover studios, galleries, and murals that tell real stories of the city. It is raw, creative, and full of energy, the perfect mix of old Cape Town charm and new ideas.

Khayelitsha: Community, creativity & real connection

Out on the Cape Flats, Khayelitsha is one of South Africa’s largest townships and one of Cape Town’s most inspiring places to explore. It is buzzing with life, music, and innovation. This is where you’ll find young entrepreneurs running coffee shops out of shipping containers, street art brightening every corner, and locals turning community spirit into a lifestyle. Join a cycling tour to explore safely with local guides, stop for a shisa nyama (barbecue) at a township eatery, or visit social projects making a real difference. Khayelitsha is all about connection, creativity, and the power of people building something incredible together.

Robben Island: A journey through South Africa’s history

Just off the coast of Cape Town lies Robben Island, a place that shaped the nation’s story. For centuries it was used as a place of exile and imprisonment, most famously holding Nelson Mandela for 18 of his 27 years behind bars. Today, it stands as a powerful symbol of resilience and freedom. The only way to visit is by ferry from the V&A Waterfront, where former political prisoners guide the tours and share their firsthand stories. Walking through the old prison blocks and standing inside Mandela’s cell is humbling and unforgettable. It is not just a history lesson, but a reminder of South Africa’s strength, hope, and hard-won unity.

All your burning questions about Cape Town answered

Yes! Cape Town is an incredible city to explore, just keep your wits about you like you would anywhere else. Stick to areas you’d hang out in anyway, chat to locals for up-to-date tips, and you’ll be just fine. We live here, we get around, and we wouldn’t recommend it if it wasn’t worth it.

Summer (November to March) is pure magic with long days, beach weather, and that unmistakable holiday buzz. But don’t rule out spring or autumn. The shoulder seasons are cooler, quieter, and just as stunning for hiking, road-tripping, or wine tasting without the crowds.

Give yourself at least four to five days to do it justice. Hike Table Mountain, hit the beaches, explore Bo-Kaap and Woodstock, and drive Chapman’s Peak. But honestly, you could spend weeks here and still find new corners that blow your mind.

Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, Bo-Kaap, Robben Island, and Chapman’s Peak are the big hitters, but that’s just the start. Go wine tasting in Constantia, surf in Muizenberg, or chase sunsets at Signal Hill. Cape Town is one of those places where every day can be completely different.

That depends on your vibe. For beach and buzz, go for Camps Bay or Clifton. For food, culture, and nightlife, Gardens, Tamboerskloof, or Woodstock hit the sweet spot. Want to escape the city? Head south to Noordhoek or into the Winelands. There’s something for everyone here.

Load-shedding is South Africa’s version of planned power cuts. Sounds annoying, but locals take it in stride. Cafes keep running, hotels have backup power, and sunsets still happen on time. It’s part of the rhythm of life here, and it won’t get in the way of your trip.
