  • Table Mountain Cable Car: Overlook the Mother City with a ride up the 360 degree rotating cable car to the top of Table Mountain.
  • Visit the V&A Waterfront: This popular shopping and entertainment destination also offers excellent dining options, and is the base from which to visit Robben Island and enjoy canal kayaking and sunset boat trips.
  • Penguins at Boulders: Famous Boulders Beach in Simonstown is home to dozens of black and white African penguins, a popular wildlife activity among families.
    Go Wine Tasting: From the scenic rolling slopes of the Constantia Winelands to the multitude of award-winning estates in the Cape Winelands (Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl), there’s a wine for everyone.
  • Explore Kirstenbosch: This exceptional botanical garden is situated on the slopes of Devil’s Peak, and is both an educational destination, as well as offering the perfect spot for a garden picnic. Don’t forget to walk the Boomslang canopy walk!
  • Hike, Bike and Adventure: Table Mountain is there to explore: hike one of the various moderate to difficult routes to the top, go mountain biking (with a Wild Card) on the Tokai section, or enjoy abseiling down the front!
  • Go To The Beach: In Cape Town, you’ll be spoiled for beaches. Dip your toes in the chilly Atlantic then relax on the beautiful white-sand beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton, and Llandudno on the Atlantic Seaboard. Or head over to False Bay and enjoy swimming, surfing and SUP-ing in the warmer Indian Ocean.
  • At least 5 days in and around Cape Town will give you a good feel for the city; there’s so much to do, though, you could spend two weeks!
  • Make sure to pack sunscreen, a hat and walking shoes if you’re arriving in the summer months.
  • Bring along your camera, or camera phone! Your Instagram will love you for it.
  • Support local. Buy from local artisans, visit smaller niche restaurants, and take in the local lingo.
  • Be aware and be safe. Keep your valuables locked away and out of sight!
  • Make sure you’ve got your reusable water bottle with you, and pack extra bags for shopping.
  • Check out the daily weather – sometimes wind or rain will only affect one side of the mountain, and this may determine your daily plans.
