You\u2019ll find endless types of foods, including hearty meats cooked on a braai (a South African barbecue), cured biltong (dried meat), fire-baked pizzas and plenty of other fresh seafood.<\/p>\n

Breath-taking adventure<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adventure is an integral part of Cape Town. You can surf, hike and paraglide off mountains and you can go cage diving with great white sharks. There is opportunity to safely view some of the largest marine species on the planet. Experience bungee jumping off the 4th<\/sup> tallest bungee jump in the world, do a spot of kayaking, scuba diving or mountain biking! You\u2019ll find so many adventure opportunities to cross off your bucket list.<\/p>\n

E<\/strong>xciting wildlife<\/strong><\/p>\n

Along the Garden Route you will find great places to spot the famous \u2018Big 5\u2019; the African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and the rhinoceros. Jump in the back of an open land rover and get your binoculars and cameras ready for beautiful sunset safaris. Sunrise safaris are wonderful too, especially if you stay overnight and take advantage of the early hours of the day when lions and other big predators are at their most active.<\/p>\n

Fascinating history<\/strong><\/p>\n

Robben Island, where South Africa\u2019s most famous president, Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, is a must-see. In the compound you can visit the cell where Mandela spent 18 years of his life. Outside the compound, you see the iconic skyline of Cape Town, ominously out of reach.<\/p>\n

You can learn about the trials and tribulations of what was once the city\u2019s soul, District Six, once a booming neighbourhood, home to 60,000+ merchants and immigrants. Under apartheid law District Six was made a white only sector and by 1968 families were forcibly removed and relocated over 25 km away to the Cape Flats. You can tour the area with guides who were evicted in 1968.<\/p>\n

Spectacular nature<\/strong><\/p>\n

At almost any location in or around Cape Town, you look up and see the magnificent Table Mountain. It dominates the horizon around the city and is, without doubt, Cape Town\u2019s most famous landmark. Seeing it from below is an awesome sight but you can also head up the mountain and see the landscape from a different view. You can jump on the cable cars and enjoy an easy glide up to the top or take one of a few different trails ranging from 3-10km that lead up to the top.<\/p>\n
