Combining dramatic mountains, Atlantic coastline and nearby winelands with excellent restaurants, diverse neighbourhoods and wildlife-rich peninsulas, Cape Town is a fantastic city surrounded by nature.

With Table Mountain and the V&A Waterfront at its heart, the mother city of Cape Town is surely one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Boasting the stunning coastal scenery of Chapman’s Peak Drive, Cape Point and False Bay, there are beaches, botanical gardens and vineyards, as well as historic and cultural sites of interest.

The Cape Peninsula is home to antelope, primates and ostrich, as well as African penguins and a number of endemic bird species. The Cape Floral Kingdom is recognised by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site and offshore, between July and November, its waters host migrating southern right whales, humpbacks and Bryde's whales, whilst dolphins, seals and sharks are present year-round.
