The Western Cape and Cape Town are beyond doubt the most
popular destinations in South Africa. Here tourism is thriving with visitors
from across the world visiting to the Cape each year.
Harboring uncountable attractions, this is not without
reason. To mention a few: Cape Town, Cape Point, the Winelands of Paarl,
Franschhoek and Stellenbosch, the rugged and splendid West Coast, the Cederberg
Mountains, Game reserves where bushmen once lived and elephants roam again, the
lush country side with its many picturesque villages, Cape Agulhas and much
more.
Cape Town - the Western Cape's capital - is locked in between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean and is by many considered one of
the most beautiful cities in the world. Due to its beauty, beaches,
cosmopolitan life, its vibrant townships, diversity in people and incredible
diversity in nature.
Apart from its splendid beauty and breathtaking
scenery the Mother City harbors many of South Africa's top attrractions. As for
instance the Cape of Good Hope, The Castle of Van Riebeeck, the Kirstenbosch
Botanical Gardens, the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the Company Gardens,
and not to forget many museums and art galleries.
Apart from a cultural and historical Mecca, Cape Town and the Cape Peninsula is a paradise for those who seek
activity: surfing, sailing, hiking, sky diving, whale watching, shark cage diving, deep sea
fishing, horse back riding, scuba diving,
and much more. The options are countless, with good bird watching and
lush vineyards as less intense options.
The Western Cape also harbors a large part of the
world famous Garden Route, stretching from Mossel Bay all the way to the
Eastern Cape. From lush evergreen forests to game and safari reserves, the
world's best golf courses and semi-desert: the Garden Route is a world on its
own.
Did we forget the friendliness of its people, the wine, Table Mountain and the
world class cuisine?
