Western Cape Holidays

Home to South Africa’s most vibrant city, award-winning vineyards, a spectacular coastline and picturesque rural interior, the Western Cape is an enticing region and gateway to many of this colourful nation’s most exciting experiences. The best way to explore the Western Cape is by car since the roads are well-maintained and navigation easy making it the perfect self-drive destination. Cape Town is a cosmopolitan city with a fabulous coastal setting in the shadow of the unmistakable Table Mountain. Soak up the atmosphere of the V&A Waterfront, enjoy the exceptional Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens and see the penguins on the way to Cape Point. North of Cape Town are the world-class vineyards and comfortable hotels of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek and, further afield, the picturesque rural farmlands of the Klein Karoo. If travelling between June and November, the small coastal town of Hermanus transforms into one of the best places to whale watch in South Africa.
