Cape Town and The Garden Route

Cape Town Holidays & the Garden Route

Made up of beautiful scenery, sandy beaches and the grand Table Mountain range, cape Town and the beauty of Cape Peninsula exceeds all expectations. The climate here also means unique flora and fauna thrive, and the region is a mecca for endemic plant and birdlife.

Cape Town is rated as one of the top destinations in the world and has Table Mountain rising majestically from it. A Cape Town holiday allows you to soak up the relaxed, yet sophisticated atmosphere, or try one of the many adrenalin pumping activities on offer at the mountain and around the city.

Further highlights of this beautiful area of South Africa include the Winelands, with their fertile valleys producing some of the best grapes and wine in the world, in over 200 wine estates. They are definitely worth visiting during your Cape Town holiday.

The Western Cape is a must see on all Cape Town Holidays, with its unique blend of European, Indian African culture and abundant with wildlife. Go on a Karoo Safari through the great plains and Nuweveid Mountains of Karoo National Park and its expansive ecosystem, home to a marvellous mixture of wildlife. The Aguila Game Reserve offers further opportunity to be at one with nature during Cape Town holidays with 4500 hectares in the Southern Karoo Highlands, the domain of a variety of animals. Whilst Robben Island, a National Museum and Cultural Heritage site and most famously the prison Nelson Mandela was held for 18 years, provides a sombre, yet ultimately uplifting look back into South Africa's past.

The Garden Route stretches on the southern coast from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth; thanks to its natural beauty it has become a favourite of many tourists enjoying Cape Town holidays. There’s a wide range of leisure activities on offer, from scuba and shark cage diving, abseiling, hiking and fishing to exploring the spectacular attractions.

The Garden Route links a series of delightful towns making it a great area for touring during your South Africa Holiday. More about the Garden Route
