Tailor-made safaris and travel to Southern Africa

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

Table Mountain from across Table Bay


The beautiful Cape coastline

According to khoisan legend, Table Mountain (above) houses the spirit of 'Mother Africa'. It is perhaps not surprising then that the earliest Dutch settlers should have chosen this spiritually powerful peak as the backdrop to their new home. Today the 'Mother City' is one of the most beautiful in the world, with craggy mountains brooding over a coastline of unsurpassed splendor (left). The rich oceans around the Cape are home to an abundance of marine life, including whales, penguins, and seals.


Cape Point, meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans

The city is also within easy reach of the Cape Peninsula's other great highlights such as Cape Point (right), dramatic meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic oceans. Robben Island, Nelson Mandela's place of incarceration and today a World Heritage Site, is a short boat trip away. Within an hour's drive lie numerous historic towns and estates, set in spectacular mountains, where some of the world's finest wines are produced.
