Cape Town, Africa


Even though the World Cup has come to an end, we can't help but continue to be enchanted by the naturally beautiful and diverse host city. When you're not whale watching or attending Kaapse Klopse (an annual festival), you might enjoy surfing, visiting vineyards, or exploring the gorgeous & famous Table Mountain!

"When you visit Cape Town you'll see a huge slab of sandstone, 1086m high and 3km long, smack in the middle of town; that is Table Mountain. Table Mountain's top is often shrouded in clouds commonly known as the mountain's "tablecloth". The mountain is home to more than 1400 unique species of plants as well several mammals and over 100 invertebrates. The views of Cape Town and its coastline from the top are spectacular (if the mountain doesn't have it's tablecloth). You can even see Robben Island where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years. There are cable cars to get you to the top but if you're fit it's worth attempting the 3 hour climb up one of the many trails. If you are interested in paragliding down you can do that too. There's a restaurant and a souvenir shop at the top of Table Mountain for your convenience." Click here to learn more about Cape Town!
