Destination of diversity, city of variety. Table Mountain stands sentry over The Mother City, watching over the city that rests between her and the ocean. A helicopter flip leaving from the V&A Waterfront will reveal the unique topography of Cape Town, showing how all roads lead back to Table Mountain – one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World.
The route to Cape Point Nature Reserve in the Southern Peninsula will lead you past Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, show you the surfers at Muizenberg beach and introduce you to the bold seals that beg for scraps at Kalk Bay Harbour.Taking you via Boulders Beach Penguin Colony, the Main Road will guide you back to the city via Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most scenic drives in the world.
As you re-enter the city via Hout Bay and Camps Bay, the high road will take you through the colourful houses of Bo-Kaap, rich with the sights, smells and sounds of the Cape Malay culture.
Travelling home via Signal Hill, take some time to reflect on Robben Island – the place where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years. And as your journey comes a full circle, returning to the luxury of the V&A Waterfront, you can quench your thirst and satisfy your appetite at one of the many restaurants.
Whether you’re sporty and like to explore by trail running and mountain climbing, or prefer more cultural excursions like viewing the artworks at the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (MOCAA), Cape Town offers something for everyone. So come and visit. And come soon.
