Cape Town is the South Africa’s second-most populous and oldest city, also called the Mother City. Cape Town is about 16-hours by road from Johannesburg.

The Table Mountain can be reached by hiking by taking the Table Mountain Cableway. Chapman’s Peak Drive is a narrow road that links Noordhoek with Hout Bay, for breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean and the mountains nearby. The beaches in Clifton and elsewhere on the Atlantic Coast are well developed. The V&A Waterfront is worth visiting for its shopping and eating options. Cape Town’s best wines can be sampled along the 4 main routes – the Stellenbosch, Paarl, Franschhoek and Wellington routes.

Cape Town was originally developed by the Dutch East India Company as a supply station for Dutch ships sailing to Eastern Africa, India and the Far East. Cape Town thus developed a very unique architectural heritage. The old government buildings in the Central Business District, and along Long Street are very distinct.
