Magical and mystical are just some of the words used to describe Cape Town - the Mother City of Africa.

With the awe-inspiring Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean as focalpoints, it never fails to fascinate.

The best way to experience Table Mountain is to take a cable car ride to the summit from where the beauty of its fauna and flora can be properly appreciated.

The top of the plateau allows for a bird’s eye view far out to sea, way past Robben Island where Nelson Mandela and his comrades were incarcerated.

The harbour has been the heart of Cape Town since the first ship anchored there more than 300 years ago.

Since then the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront has developed into one of the top ten destinations in South Africa. Four more of the top ten destinations are also found in Cape Town.

The location of Cape Town at the farthest point of Africa made it a halfway stop to almost everywhere. It became a melting pot of taste and colour.

So, relax in a Cape Dutch homestead, dine the finest in spicy Malay dishes while sipping on South African wine.

The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens has a celebration of South African flora and their summer concerts at sunset with its wide variety of music is a must see.

From playing at casinos to playing on the sandy beaches or swimming with sharks, the choice is yours.

The Mother City has under roof entertainment galore like ice-skating and the Planetarium amongst others.

The spectacular St Georges Cathedral, the Cape Town Minstrel Carnival as well as the pentagonal Castle of Good Hope, all of them call Cape Town home.
