6 Day/5 Night Tour

Table Mountain

South Africa’s most famous landmark is Table Mountain. It is also the most photographed destination in the country, with millions of visitors riding the famed cable car to the top. Not only for our people, but also for visitors from all over the world, Table Mountain has become the single most visited icon.

Table Mountain National Park is also South Africa’s most visited national park, attracting 4.2 million visitors each year for a variety of activities. There are 8,200 plant species on the mountain, with fynbos (fine bush) accounting for about 80% of them.

Boulders Beach

Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located on the Cape Peninsula, in Simon’s Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also commonly known as Boulders Bay.

Cape Point

Cape Point is situated at the southeast corner of South Africa’s Cape Peninsula is a mountainous and picturesque landform that extends north-south for roughly thirty kilometers at the continent’s extreme southwestern tip. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are located on the same peninsula’s northern tip.

The Cape is about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 miles) east and a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the southwest corner. Although these two rocky Capes are well-known, neither is the southernmost point of Africa’s mainland; that honor belongs to Cape Agulhas, which is some 150 kilometres away.

Kirstenbosch Gardens

Kirstenbosch is a significant botanical garden in Cape Town, located at the eastern foot of Table Mountain. The garden is one of 10 National Botanical Gardens managed by the South African National Biodiversity Institute, which covers five of South Africa’s six biomes (SANBI). The National Botanical Institute was the name of the institute prior to September 1, 2004.

The cultivation of indigenous species is a priority at Kirstenbosch. Kirstenbosch was the first botanical garden in the world to have this mentality when it was built in 1913 to preserve the flora unique to South Africa’s territory, at a period when invading species were not considered an ecological or environmental hazard.

Bo - Kaap

The Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Malay Quarter, is located at the foot of Signal Hill, on the outskirts of the city center. Its beginnings trace back to the 1760s, when numerous “huurhuisjes” (rental houses) were built and leased to slaves. The vibrantly coloured residences and cobblestoned streets of Bo-Kaap are well-known. The neighborhood is known for being multicultural, with 56.9% of the inhabitants identifying as Muslim.

So why are the buildings so colourful? It is unclear, but it is believed that when Bo-Kaap residents bought their houses, they decorated their homes with bright colours, as an expression of individualism. After apartheid ended, they painted their houses in bright colours as a celebration of their freedom.

V & A Waterfont

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is the most popular tourist attraction in South Africa. It attracts the most foreign visitors of any destination in the country. It is home to a number of historical sites, landmarks, and other attractions. As a 16-year-old midshipman in the Royal Navy, Prince Alfred, Queen Victoria’s second son, officially opened the V&A Waterfront in 1860. In July 1870, he returned ten years later for the official opening of the finished works. Electricity was installed in the region ten years before the rest of Cape Town.

The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is a revitalization project that includes a lot of the old harbour infrastructure. The Alfred and Victoria Basins were the inspiration for the Waterfront.

Robben Island

Robben Island is a South African island located in Table Bay, 6.9 kilometres west of the Bloubergstrand coast and north of Cape Town. The Dutch/Afrikaans name Robbeneiland, which translates to Seal Island, is derived from the Dutch term for seals.

Robben Island is best known for housing former South African president Nelson Mandela for 18 of his 27 years in prison, but it also housed prisoners from other countries, most notably Namibia. Is it possible for you to visit Robben Island? Robben Island is the outcome of a Google image search. The only way to get to the island is by ferry. All ferries leave from Nelson Mandela Gateway at Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront. Visitors are transported by bus once they arrive on the island.

Chapmans Peak

Chapman’s Peak is a peak in Cape Town, South Africa, located between Hout Bay and Noordhoek on the western side of the Cape Peninsula. The mountain’s western flank plunges hundreds of meters into the Atlantic Ocean, and Chapman’s Peak Drive, which connects Hout Bay and Noordhoek, skirts the mountain’s near-vertical face. Tourists and locals alike frequently stop at viewpoints along this road to take in the views of Hout Bay, The Sentinel Peak, and the surrounding area, as well as Noordhoek Beach.

John Chapman, the pilot of an English ship becalmed in today’s Hout Bay in 1607, was called after Chapman’s Peak. Chapman’s Chaunce was the moniker given to the pilot who was sent ashore to find provisions by the skipper.

Ostrich Farm

Ostrich Farm lies on the most beautiful part of the Cape Peninsula. The farm is 50km from Cape Town, next to the Cape of Good Hope.

ST James Beach

St James is a seaside community on the Cape Peninsula, South Africa, located between Muizenberg and Kalk Bay on the False Bay coast. The suburb, which is roughly 200m by 2km and is positioned between a rocky shore and a steep mountain, is placed between the rocky shore and a steep mountain. It gets its name from the early St James Catholic Church, which was completed around 1880. The majority of the neighborhood was constructed between 1910 and 1950, with the completion of the railway line between Cape Town and False Bay.

St James Beach is famed for its vibrant Victorian-style bathing boxes, tidal pool, and rock pools, all of which are popular with kids.

Groot constantia Wine Farm

The earliest wine farm in South Africa, Groot Constantia, was founded in 1685. It was formed by Simon van der Stel with the goal of teaching farmers how to correctly cultivate wine. By 1709, the farm had grown to 70,000 vines, and Constantia wines were well-known throughout Europe. In fact, Napoleon was a fan of the wine estate.

Hendrik Cloete, from the property Nooitgedacht in Stellenbosch, became the new owner of Groot Constantia in December 1778. The Cloete family, who made the estate their home for five generations, lived true to the estate’s founder Simon van der Stel’s principle of consistency.

Atlantic Seaboard

The Atlantic Seaboard, which stretches from the V&A Waterfront on Table Mountain’s north side all the way down to Hout Bay, is known as Cape Town’s ‘Riviera.’

Green Point, the Sea Point Promenade, which stretches along the water’s edge from Mouille Point to the end of Sea Point, the upmarket beachfront neighbourhoods of Clifton and Camps Bay, and the quaint harbour village affectionately known as the Republic of Hout Bay are all part of this well-loved stretch.

Sundowners are an absolute pleasure here, sandwiched between the dazzling Atlantic Ocean and the slopes of Lions Head and the Twelve Apostles, and there are lots of spots to enjoy them. While the water can be a little cool, swimming is popular at beaches such as Clifton, Camps Bay, and Hout Bay.

Hout bay

Hout bay is a beachfront suburb of Cape Town in South Africa’s Western Cape province. It is twenty kilometers south of the Central Business District, in a valley on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula. The suburb, the bay on which it is located, or the surrounding valley are all referred to as “Hout Bay.”

Originally, the region consisted of two farms that were gradually partitioned to allow for urban expansion. Hout Bay has more than 5,960 houses and a population of at least 17,900 people, while still keeping a rural feel.

Kalk Bay

Kalk Bay is a fishing community on the coast of False Bay, South Africa, that is now part of the wider Cape Town area. It is situated between the sea and the abruptly rising rocky heights buttressed by grey Table Mountain Sandstone crags.

The railway connecting Cape Town’s central business district to Simon’s Town travels through Kalk Bay, and the line is barely a few meters from the water’s edge in several spots.

The highlands above the settlement are home to several well-known caves, including ‘Boomslang Cave,’ called for the snake, ‘Ronan’s Well,’ named after the Walter Scott novel Saint Ronan’s Well, and ‘Free Drinks Saloon.’

Simons Town

This charming coastal community is the entryway to False Bay’s Marine Big 5 and has a rich maritime history, making it ideal for a romantic seaside trip.

Simon’s Town is noted for its beautiful beaches, rich history, and resident African penguin colony. The historical mile from the train station to Jubilee Square is lined with charming buildings set against a backdrop of mountains with numerous scenic hiking trails.

Sea Point Promenade

A stroll, jog, or cycle down Sea Point’s most famous feature, the Promenade, is one of the great delights of Cape Town life. This is one among Cape Town’s busiest attractions, with cyclists, dog walkers, joggers, skaters, amblers, and everyone in between congregating. The Prom, as it’s known among residents, begins near the Waterfront at Mouille Point and runs into Sea Point along the water’s edge.

This is also one of the most beautiful sunset spots on the planet. As the sun sets over the sea, it casts an oblique golden light over the Prom, making the water sparkle like mercury.

Signal Hill

Signal Hill, sometimes known as Lion’s Rump, is a prominent flat-topped hill in Cape Town, situated between Lion’s Head and Table Mountain. The hill was also called as “The Lion’s Flank,” which is no longer in use. Signal Hill, when combined with Lion’s Head, resembles a lion sphinx.

The Noon Gun, which is operated by the South African Navy and the South African Astronomical Observatory, is well-known. A time ball was erected at the Cape Town observatory in 1836, but it was not visible from ships in the port, therefore a second time ball was created on Signal Hill to relay the precise time of 1pm Cape Mean Time.

Ships in the bay were able to verify their marine chronometers in this manner. The regular tradition of dropping the ball continued until 1934, when radio signals rendered it obsolete.

Lions Head

Between Table Mountain and Signal Hill in Cape Town, South Africa, is Lion’s Head. At 669 meters above sea level, Lion’s Head is the highest point in the area. The summit, which is part of the Table Mountain National Park, provides a magnificent backdrop to the metropolis of Cape Town.

The Table Mountain sandstone makes up the highest half of the peak, while the Cape Granite and Malmesbury formation, which are older Precambrian rocks, make up the lower slopes.

The fynbos (original Cape vegetation) on Lion’s Head has an extraordinarily rich biodiversity, which supports a variety of small creatures. In this very small area, three distinct vegetation kinds can be found.

Camps Bay / Cliffton

Camps Bay’s eponymous beach, with excellent white sand, a natural rock swimming pool, and views of the Twelve Apostles mountains, attracts tourists. Posh seafood restaurants, quiet cafes, and cocktail bars with patios overlook the promenade behind the beach. Promenade Mall is nearby, with boutiques selling fashion and beachwear, while the tiny Theatre on the Bay hosts drama, musicals, and comedy performances.

In Cape Town’s busy Camps Bay, where locals picnic and play in the powerful Atlantic waves, shaded areas sell out early. For a safer swim for the whole family, look for the flagged bathing areas. The dunes, which are strikingly located at the foot of the Twelve Apostles Mountains, are surrounded by festive cafes. The Fugard Theatre, popularly known as “The Theatre On The Bay,” is located along the beachfront.

Two Oceans Aquarium

Situated at the southern tip of Africa in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront, the Two Oceans Aquarium is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in the Indian and Atlantic oceans. The aquarium’s exhibits and displays have an educational focus, providing access to this unique natural world for more than 500,000 visitors per year from near and far.
Since opening in 1995, the aquarium has established itself as a leader and key player in raising environmental awareness through its high-quality exhibits, its conservation and education programmes and its sustainability initiatives. Research programmes and campaigns that contribute to the protection and well-being of the oceans.
