Welcome to Cape Town

Why Cape Town?

Cape Town is the Mother City

Cape Town boasts some of the most breathtaking beaches in the world. Nestled between the chilly Atlantic Ocean and the more temperate Indian Ocean, your choice of beach may depend on how eager you are to swim. While it may not rival the Mediterranean, the Atlantic seaboard beaches, such as Llandudno, Clifton, and Camps Bay, are so picturesque that spending a day there—even if it’s just to dip a toe in the water—is well worth it. For families, the beaches of False Bay, like the surfer's paradise of Muizenberg and the tidal pools at St. James, offer ideal spots to relax and play. A truly unique experience in Cape Town is visiting Boulders Beach, where you can observe hundreds of resident African penguins nesting along the shoreline.

If you’re a foodie or a wine connoisseur, Cape Town will delight you with its exceptional culinary offerings. Celebrated as the food and wine capital of South Africa, the city is a melting pot of diverse cuisines. You'll find everything from traditional dishes like bobotie—a savory blend of curried meat and fruit—to potjie, a hearty meal of meat and vegetables slow-cooked in an iron pot over an open fire. The freshest seafood is also abundant, making it difficult to choose a favorite dish during your stay. Spend time with locals, and you can expect to enjoy warm summer evenings around a braai (barbecue), where your hosts will showcase their impressive skills in cooking just about anything to perfection over an open flame.
