cape town

It’s not surprising that Cape Town is such a desirable destination for visitors. As the oldest city in South Africa, it’s rich in culture and history. 

Located on the coast of South Africa’s southern tip, it offers a bountiful list of activities. Ride a cable car to a romantic dinner on top of Table Mountain, skim the shores by boat on a sunset cruise or take in the coast from a helicopter’s vantage point. Go whale watching and even dive with great whites in the infamous Shark Alley. Relax on the pristine bay beaches, enjoy a round of golf at one of the many picturesque courses or learn from a variety of historical and cultural tours. The list of remarkable experiences is truly endless in Cape Town.
