If you have never visited Cape Town, now is the time to add it to the top of your bucket list.
As one of South Africa’s three capital cities, Cape Town offers that perfect blend of trendy neighbourhoods, jaw-dropping landscapes, and some of the best restaurants in the country.
Table Mountain may be its most visited tourist site, but there are plenty of other attractions to keep you busy.

I loved going to the zoo as a child. Getting to see all the different animals in front of you, not just on the pages of an illustrated children’s book, is really exciting for a kid.
On early trips to safari parks in the UK, I got a taste of how those animals actually lived outside of cages.
But it wasn’t until I went on my first safari about four years ago – a solo trip to Durban on the east coast of South Africa – that I truly understood how these animals lived in the wild.

If you’re thinking about getting some winter sun and love wine and good food, it’s time you booked a holiday to South Africa’s Stellenbosch.
The stunning region is situated just outside of Cape Town in the Western Cape, and it produces some of the most famous wines in the country.
But more than that, it’s a destination that’s rich in history, full of culture and there are plenty of activities to help you work off all that delicious food.

I admit, I’m a bit of a snobby Londoner, and I’m always dubious about what the provinces can offer.
