South Africa's The Western Cape
The Western Cape
When his eyes first viewed the pristine shores back dropped with Table Mountain, Sir Francis Drake wrote that this was the fairest Cape on the whole circumference of the world. Today, the Western Cape retains its undisputed reputation as one of the most beautifully welcoming coastal destinations in the world. It is a land rich in cultures; the heritage of the indigenous Khoekhoen and San people greatly enhancing this richness. Boasting Mediterranean climate, awe inspiring landscapes and a cosmopolitan culture unmatched, it is no wonder why the Fairest Cape delights visitors of all curiosities.
Furthermore, the Western Cape is the premier destination from which to explore many of South Africa’s finest delights. Wander the historic Winelands, where you may enjoy one of the locally produced wines amidst the exquisite beauty of rocky mountains, serried vines and elegant Cape Dutch estates. Venture further from the cosmopolitan Cape Town at the southwestern tip of the cape and discover the rugged beauty of the Overberg, where whale watching from the breathtaking coastline is a favorite pastime. Discover the botanist within as spring brings an explosion of color as more than 8500 plant species carpet the Cederberg Mountains in vibrant bloom, or fuel your adrenaline addiction during your stay in Hermanus. No matter where your trail leads while in the Western Cape, it promises to be a path of beautiful discovery.
