Western Cape is famous for it's majestic mountains and winelands to
white sand and blue seas. Near the southern tip of Africa lies Cape
Town, a great and beautiful city. As a visitor to Cape Town you will be
pleased to feel a relaxed and accepting atmosphere that will put you at
ease. Towering over Cape Town is the 1073m tall Table Mountain. You can
take a cable car ride to the top or walk if you wish. When you reach the
summit, there are some lovely scenic walks to enjoy, especially in
springtime, as there are many varieties of wildflowers in bloom.
Sunbaking is a popular activity on any one of Cape
Town's spectacular beaches such as, Hout Bay. Another especially enjoyable activity is a
visit to the tantalising vineyards of Stellenbosch. Stellenbosch is a
university town with a
youthful nightlife.
Travel to Hermanus where you can view the whales (seasonal - from July
to November/December). Hermanus is a popular seaside resort with lots of
short hikes along the coast line. Drive east of Hermanus to Swellendam on
your way to the Garden Route. Travellers to this area can explore a varied
countryside from rolling wheat fields to the Breede River Valley. The
Garden Route is an extensively developed section of beautiful coastline
with spectacular beaches surrounded by sand dunes, lagoons, and forests.
Mossel Bay is known by many as the start or end of the Garden Route,
depending on which way you are travelling. |
