Cape Town: where luxury accommodation, fine dining, and an array of activities await!
Cape Town - ‘The Mother City’
Recently ranked the second-best city globally to visit, according to Time Out's survey of 50 cities, Cape Town was lauded for its beauty, vibrant cultural scene, and plethora of activities.
Our team at Thandeka Travel has developed strong partnerships with hotels, lodges, and activity providers, ensuring that your vacation experience is authentically “lekker” – as the locals say. We find all the best truly authentic hidden gems to suit your budget.
At the top of our list of must-visit attractions is the iconic Table Mountain, a ‘natural compass’ that dominates the city's skyline. Whether you choose to ascend via cable car or embark on a hike to the summit, the views are simply breathtaking. Cape Town is also home to some of the world's most stunning beaches like Camps Bay Beach, Clifton, and Llandudno for lazy sandy days.
For those seeking vibrant nightlife, the city offers an array of fine dining options, such as FYN (offering a unique Japanese-African fusion) and Thali (serving Indian-inspired cuisine in the popular neighborhood of Kloof Street), both renowned for their award-winning dishes. Alternatively, try African drumming and beats on the famous Long Street, known for its lively atmosphere.
Stellenbosch and Franschhoek region: where hospitality, cuisine, wine, and art unite in perfection
Day trips from Cape Town are equally exciting, with visits to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, and the colorful Bo-Kaap and Oranjezicht markets, brimming with vibrant flowers (including the famous African Protea wildflower), crafts, and culture. Cape Point Nature Reserve, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans converge, offers a mesmerizing view found nowhere else in the world.
For wine enthusiasts, the region's world-class vineyards are a must-visit. Favorites include Babylonstoren, offering a unique South African experience on one of the oldest Cape Dutch farms, and Delaire Graff, where you can indulge in flawless hospitality, cuisine, wine, art, and spa treatments amidst the serene surroundings of the Stellenbosch region, curated by the renowned diamantaire Laurence Graff.
(Google it! It's magnificent!)
