Cape Town is a truly remarkable destination, blessed with awesome coastal scenery, magnificent beaches and mountains, and a superb selection of activities and accommodation options for both adults and families.
Whilst it's a long haul flight from the UK it has the great advantage of being pretty much in the same time zone as us (+1 hour), meaning that you arrive (and return) with no jet lag at all.
Cape Town itself is worthy of visiting for at least two to three nights, taking in the world famous V & A Waterfront for its shopping and restaurants, hiking up the majestic Table Mountain (or taking the cable car), a boat ride to Robben Island where Nelson Mandela spent 18 years incarcerated, an aerial tour by helicopter, surfing or body boarding on one of the sensational beaches, strolling round the world famous Kirstenbosch Gardens, or playing with Penguins in Simonstown.
For accommodation, you can choose from a selection of outstanding hotels, luxury villas or romantic beach bungalows. There's something for everyone. How about a tailor-made 'healthy' villa holiday? We can organise any number of one day or multi-day tours and activities. Why not hike up Table Mountain, stay at the top, and walk down the other side in the morning? Or cycle along the magnificent coastline or take a mountain bike along hillside trails. Or head out trail running with one of our professional guides? Learn to surf or play some golf. Whatever you would like to do, we can make it happen. All with our hand-picked expert guides and instructors.
