With its natural beauty, blending seamlessly with its cultural, artistic and bespoke experiences, there is something on offer for traveller of all kinds.
You cannot get more iconic than Table Mountain and a visit to the Mother City would not be complete without a trip up to the top via the Aerial Cableway. The views are unmatched.
There are a number of flights into Cape Town International Airport with new direct routes from a host of international cities.
The latest venture by celebrated SA chef, Luke Dale-Roberts of the Test Kitchen, Salsify is a new fine-dining experience at The Roundhouse in Camps Bay. The focus here is on seafood and ‘root to leaf’ dining with nothing wasted. Test Kitchen Head Chef, Ryan Cole, heads up this exciting new restaurant and is joined by general manager Markus Fiedler (also from The Test Kitchen) and sommelier Nash Kanyangarara (from Constance Moofushi in the Maldives).
