Situated on the southwestern tip of Africa, Cape Town and the Western Cape is recognised as one of the most beautiful places on earth. Offering a range of attractions, breathtaking sights and endless activities, it is a year-round holiday destination with friendly people, a mild climate and rich cultural heritage.
And with a host of activities on offer, you’re spoilt for choice. From nature reserves, scenic drives and hiking trails to adrenaline rushes in the form of the highest commercial bungee jump in the world at Bloukrans Bridge, world-class shark cage diving or white water canoeing on the Breede River. In addition, we’re a golf lovers paradise sporting some of the best golf courses in the world!
If Culture and Heritage is what you’re after, then there’s no shortage either. Walk past loud blubbery seals sunning themselves on the pier and take the ferry to Robben Island to visit liberation icon and former South Africa president, Nelson Mandela’s prison cell. Marvel at the ancient rock art in the Karoo and explore the completely preserved historic mission stations at Elim and Genadendal. Then join the boisterous, mad-cap minstrels dancing in the Cape Minstrel Carnival and dont even think of missing out on a township tour and the opportunity to experience traditional Cape Flats life and African culture and cuisine, for yourself.
If it's business as usual for you then Cape Town and the Western Cape, winner of the 2008 Travel Awards for Africa's leading destination, answers all your business needs. A convention, conference and investment hub, the destination consistently wins 90% of all conferences it bids for.
Still looking for a reason to visit us? How about joining us for the 2010 FIFA World Cup in just over two years. Share in and celebrate this historic event with us as South Africa plays host to Africa’s first ever football world cup.
