Cape Town, Western Cape, Cape Winelands, the Garden Route, Cape West Coast & Namaqualand
No visit to South Africa is complete without a few days in Cape Town.
There are so many memorable family experiences on offer in Cape Town that you may find you return many times. When it comes to planning a successful family holiday, it doesn't get easier than this.
The top of Table Mountain is a must. The cable car ride is better than anything at a fairground, and there's plenty of space to run around (or stroll) at the top.
Paddling with the penguins at Boulders Beach in Simons Town is another all-time family favourite, and something you probably can't do anywhere else in the world.
Cape Town, the "Mother City", is the oldest city in our country and has a cultural heritage spanning more than 300 years. It also has the top five national attractions in South Africa that should appear on every visitor´s itinerary all year round.
Don´t miss a visit up Table Mountain; the V&A Waterfront, a unique shopping and holiday experience on a scenic working harbour; Robben Island, the former home of Nelson Mandela; the Cape Town Wine Routes, where some of the world´s best wines are produced and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, internationally acclaimed as one of the great botanical gardens of the world.
The unique topography of the region makes it easy to orientate oneself as long as you remember that with Table Mountain behind you and Robben Island before you, you are facing north, looking across Table Bay and up the west coast of Africa.
To help you find your way around the Cape Town region, the area is divided into four tourism areas - Cape Town Central, Cape Town North, Cape Town South and the Cape Town East. These areas are defined by their geographical location and within each area there are a number suburbs.
