Welcome to Cape Town, Mother
City of Africa, and the Western Cape, an area which is regarded
as one of the most beautiful regions in the world. The City
is a rare cultural gem, resulting from the amalgamation of
Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers, the
local Bushman and Hottentot tribes and the Bantu tribes from
the north.
The impressive presence of Table Mountain, flanked by the
legendary Devil's Peak and historical Signal Hill, stands proudly
above the city. Beautiful white sandy beaches along a peaceful
coastline frame the Cape Peninsula, which is famed for its
unique floral kingdom, bountiful rivers, vleis and dams and
magnificent countryside. The surrounding area extends far into
the winelands, green in summer and red-gold in autumn.
Cape Town boasts a multitude of entertainment, ranging from
outdoor activities and adventures in the sun to a roaring night
life under neon signs. The vast range of shopping opportunities
includes haggling with shopholders at Greenmarket Square Flea
Market, as well as breezing through sophisticated and stylish
shopping malls. The huge variety of restaurants reflects the
multicultured history of the Cape and caters for everyone's
taste, from fast-food outlets and casual to the chic to the
very elegant.
Cape Town provides a setting for many scenic wonders, magnificent
seascapes and panoramic vistas. The beautiful coastal areas
of Camps Bay, Clifton, Llandudno, Bantry Bay, Hout Bay and
Blouberg surround the breathtaking tranquility of the winelands,
Constantia, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franshhoek.
Cape Town is a city of culture, built on a history that reflects
in the architecture, cuisine, music and dance. Together with
a warm summer and temperate winter climate and a friendly community,
the Western Cape and the Mother City are an ideal holiday destination
throughout the year. |
