4-Day Cape Town, South Africa
Cape Town is a fascinating blend of natural beauty and chic cosmopolitan character. As South Africa's third largest city, Cape Town offers sights and tourist opportunities that showcase this exciting atmosphere, including outdoor adventures, historical tours, wine tastings, and wildlife viewings. There is no one way to describe this bustling city; bright colors dominate the facades of Victorian bathing chalets, stunning trails lead you through Table Mountain National Park, and history comes alive in Nelson Mandela's prison on Robben Island. Come and experience life at the southernmost tip of Africa.
We can tailor your Cape Town tour to your exact dates and schedule. We can arrange stays for as brief as two nights, or as long as you wish. Give yourself more time to explore this intriguing coastal city.
For example, with an extra day, you can enjoy a full day wine country tour or spend more time exploring Table Mountain. Table Mountain is one of the crown jewels of Cape Town and South Africa as a whole. This national park covers some 75% of the peninsula and serves as the backdrop and adventure playground of the city.
Note that the Table Mountain Cableway can be closed late July until early September, depending on the year.
