The Cape Peninsula
The Cape Peninsula is an area of great beauty and contrast and is an immensely popular South Africa travel destination. The natural beauty of the area, with its magnificent mountains, crystal clear water and pristine beaches, has a universal attraction, whether hiking, driving, visiting wine estates or enjoying a sundowner cruise.
The area includes the city of Cape Town, Southern Peninsula, Southern Suburbs and Northern Suburbs. Cape Town with its legendary Table Mountain is the oldest city in South Africa. A full day’s excursion would involve going up Table Mountain, visiting museums and the waterfront. Alternatively, head off towards the Southern Peninsula, past the Southern Suburbs with its Rhodes Memorial and Constantia Wine Estates. The Southern Peninsula offers a more relaxed, yet no less fascinating set of experiences, with False Bay in the east, Cape Point in the south and the Atlantic Seaboard in the west. Stop en route at one of the magnificent beaches or lunch at one of a number of historical fishing villages. Finally, the Northern Suburbs is where the postcard pictures of Table Mountain are taken. This area is home to the largest shopping mall in South Africa.
