Cape Town
The sight of majestic Table Mountain and the people who live beneath it are as
welcoming today as they were when the first weary explorers and sailors named it
'The Tavern of the Seas'. The looming crags, a striking landmark, provide
a magnificent backdrop to the vibrant, friendly city. Set between Table
Mountain and the sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Town is one of the
most beautiful cities in the world.
The oldest city in South Africa, it has cobblestone streets, colourful street
markets and an array of excellent shops and restaurants making it a delight to
explore. From Cape Town east to Port Elizabeth lies the Garden Route an
area of extraordinary scenic beauty where tranquil winelands give way to craggy
mountains, small bays and golden beaches, towering cliffs and primeval forests.
