Alluring Cape Town

Start with a scenic drive through the city centre past famous landmarks such as the Castle of Good Hope built in 1666 by the Dutch East India Company, the imposing Renaissance-style Edwardian City Hall, constructed from honey limestone a baroque building, and South Africa’s largest public space and former military parade ground the Grand Parade. Travel along the scenic Atlantic Seaboard passing through Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay, before arriving at Hout Bay, a charming seaside village and fishing harbour boasting magnificent mountain views and a white powdery sandy beach. The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called “Nature's Greatest Show”. We'll be able to see the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend) and may even feel the brisk wind that is dubbed the “Cape Doctor” for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, we'll return to Cape Town by way of Simon's Town (optional, own account & time permitting a visit to Penguin colony), Fish Hoek fishing village and Muizenberg. We return to Cape Town, passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial and the Groote Schuur Hospital.
