Your Destinations —

Cape Town

Cape Town is renowned for being one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Situated at the base of Table Mountain, it is the capital city of the Western Cape. Whether you are looking for history, natural beauty or a cosmopolitan lifestyle, the 'Mother City' has it all. There is such a diversity of attractions and activities you will not be disappointed with your city experience. Offering fantastic views of the city, Table Mountain dominates the skyline. For natural surroundings there are gardens, beaches and vineyards all close by. Cape Town is steeped in history and many of the museums and monuments have much to tell. For a cosmopolitan and lively experience, visit the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront with a wide variety of shops, restaurants and craft markets.

Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch dates back to 1679 and is the second-oldest wine producing region in South Africa. No more than half an hour’s drive from the cosmopolitan buzz of Cape Town, here there is a relaxed, small-town atmosphere and leisurely lifestyle, no doubt helped by the stunning natural scenery. The views over vineyards, mountains and orchards offer excellent photographic opportunities and provide a calming respite from the exciting pace of Cape Town. The mild weather and unique territory is ideal for wine-growing and the region has amassed many international awards over the years. Daily wine-tasting and cellar tours are available at most of the numerous vineyards. Many also have restaurant and picnic facilities to spend a leisurely afternoon.

Pretoria

Home to elegant, authentic architecture, significant historical sites, gorgeous leafy suburbs, and wide streets lined with bright, purple jacarandas that bloom in late Autumn, Pretoria is a simply sublime stop on any tourist's South African adventure. As a city that was once the beating heart of the apartheid regime, today, Pretoria is infused with a vibrant sense of multiculturalism.

Pilanesberg

Located in the Bojanala Region, within the North West Province, you are relatively near Johannesburg.
