A Tour of Our Mother City
Step out and be kissed by the sun, smell the fynbos on the wings of the south easter as you lay eyes over the Atlantic where white horses roam freely.
Your glass half full of fermented grapes aged in the crisp morning breeze, against the foot of majestic mountains where ancient hiking trails await your footsteps.
The Signal gun fires every day at noon and echoes into the buzz of the city, through the mountains, over the beaches and into the deep blue sea.
Locals, lions, dolphins and whales roam this land of abundance, promise and hope.
You may only taste Her hospitality for a short time, but Cape Town will not allow your heart to forget.
