Have a look at our favourite travel experiences by picking from the list below:
£150
The Cape Town oceans are pretty well known for their predators, namely the Great White Shark. A couple hours out of Cape Town city lies the aptly named ‘Shark Alley’ with one of the highest concentrations of Great White Sharks in the world. This is partly due to the huge amounts of Cape Fur Seals in the area and so provides a pretty dramatic setting for submerging yourself into an underwater cage to watch the set of huge jaws swerving in and out of your view.
An activity that technically should go hand in hand with high cultured palates and delicate cuisine is always an incredibly amusing day out from Cape Town. As you meander your way through various wine farms that are set amongst majestic mountains and rolling vineyards you get to taste some world class wines and cheeses which just keep tasting even better and better as the day goes on.
A trip to Cape Town wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the top of the great table. The best way to do it is to climb straight up the front of it as you get a chance to properly soak up the awesome views across the bay of Cape Town. As you get higher and higher, the views just get better with the ultimate reward at the top as you are able to see across the entire Cape Peninsula with the sparkling oceans on either side.
£50
If you are looking for something more and have the balls to do it, there is a chance to dangle yourself off the edge while abseiling down the side with the crisp Atlantic below your toes.
If you have a Sunday afternoon to spare in Cape Town, it would be sacrilege not to spend it at Mzoli’s Meat Market. After choosing your choice of meat and waiting for it to be fire grilled, grab a few beers and soak up the vibrant township atmosphere of Gugulethu. This institutional butchery is set in the midst of a buzzing township and has become a firm favourite spot for all cultures and lifestyles of Capetonians.
£90
If you want to see Cape Town from a unique angle this is a pretty good way to do it. Throw yourself off Lion’s Head which sits majestically between the city and the sultry coastal suburbs of Camps Bay and Clifton. Not only is it an incredible thrill but you have obscene views across the entire Table Mountain range as you soar above the sparkling Atlantic Coastline.
If you are interested in spending a relaxing day purely soaking up incredible scenery and views a trip around the peninsula down to Cape Point is for you. You can stand right on the south westerly tip of the African continent and feel that sea spry in your face. On the route down there is a stop off at the penguin colony on Boulders beach as well a s a drive along the world famous Chapman’s Peak for some of the most dramatic views.
£300
Picture yourself chilling on a yacht sipping on some bubbly while watching the sun setting over the Atlantic Ocean horizon on one side and the city lights starting to twinkle on the other. There is no greater way to get you warmed up for Cape Town’s buzzing nightlife.
