Our ventures now take us to the the oldest city in Southern Africa. A
city heralded as one of the most beautiful on Earth, Cape Town will
reign among your growing list of superlatives. As you view the destined
city on the horizon, welcome the sight of the mammoth sandstone Table
Mountain on the backdrop. Draped in a blanket of billowing clouds, this
iconic massif is but a prelude to the delights that await within this
historic destination. As you explore the city browse the sparkling
beaches that hem the cliff hugging coastline or trek the mountainous
slopes of the Cape, infamous for one of the world's most varied
botanical kingdoms.
Your discoveries within this South African
gem will parallel those of the explorers of days gone past, as much of
Cape Town's historical attributes remain well intact. Find Cape Dutch
homesteads, neo Gothic churches, Muslim minarets, and English inspired
Georgian and Victorian buildings, each offering an elegant glimpse into
the city's eclectic heritage and colonial past. Sit in one of the
relaxed bars that line the Victoria Waterfront and listen to the
numerous languages and dialects that fill the air. Sample the
delightful cuisine, and discover a sensational blend of flavors as
diverse as its cosmopolitan influences, or take to the coast upon your
charged motorcycle and explore the remaining wonders of the Cape and
beyond.
