Every Capetonian and many international visitors will tell you that you’d be hard-pressed to find a more laid back holiday destination than Cape Town. The Mother City, as it’s affectionately known, is nestled at the foot of one of South Africa’s most iconic natural attractions; Table Mountain.

A mix of jaw-dropping natural beauty and cultures, Cape Town is as proudly multicultural and diverse as she is stunning. Cape Town is also accessible for inbound visitors. There are also numerous domestic connections between Johannesburg and Cape Town and the route is listed as one of the busiest flight routes in the world. Or if you’d rather drive, the routes to and from Cape Town are a road-tripper’s dream.
The weather can be temperamental in Cape Town however, there is a reason to visit in every season. The summer months, from December to April, are sunny and dry and its peak travel season. Winter, from June to August, can be chilly (by South African standards) and rainy. A mild autumn and spring, when the summer tourists have left, are idyllic, quieter times to visit.
Journey to the Mother City and take your pick of unforgettable landscapes and experiences.
