AFRICA • SOUTH AFRICA<br />
Discover South Africa<br />
The extraordinary natural beauty and<br />
cultural diversity of South Africa often<br />
surprises visitors. The Cape Provinces in<br />
particular offer rich cultural delights with<br />
their combination of Cape Malay cuisine<br />
and world-class vintages from the vineyards<br />
of the Winelands.<br />
Wildlife abounds, with superb opportunities<br />
<strong>for</strong> both land- and water-based whale<br />
watching, along with self-drive or guided<br />
‘Big Five’ safaris. For dramatic scenery and<br />
diamond rush history, the Northern Cape<br />
should not be missed. Alternatively, head up<br />
the less-travelled west coast to Paternoster<br />
and the Cedarberg mountains to explore<br />
ancient Bushmen rock art.<br />

Cape Town, South Africa<br />
Cosmopolitan, relaxed and with a com<strong>for</strong>table<br />
Mediterranean climate, Cape Town is<br />
sandwiched between Table Mountain and the<br />
Atlantic Ocean, giving it one of the world’s most<br />
recognised city locations. It offers a captivating<br />
mix of modern living and old-world charm.<br />
Take a guided walking tour to discover the<br />
city’s street food, antique shops, art galleries<br />
and heritage buildings. Join a boat trip to<br />
UNESCO-listed Robben Island, home to Nelson<br />
Mandela during his time as a political prisoner.<br />
Wander around the vibrant Victoria & Alfred<br />
Waterfront. Other excursions available to our<br />
guests delve deeper into South Africa’s political<br />
past and engage with the local communities.<br />
Affluent Constantia Valley, now within Cape<br />
Town’s suburbs, is South Africa’s oldest winemaking<br />
area, but a little further afield you<br />
will find the undulating valleys and towering<br />
mountains of the Cape Winelands. Popular<br />
destinations within this viticultural epicentre<br />
include the university town of Stellenbosch, the<br />
French Huguenot village of Franschhoek and<br />
the Cape Dutch estates of Paarl. Here, you can<br />
sample celebrated local wines, have lunch at a<br />
vineyard or arrange to picnic beside one of the<br />
pretty streams and lakes. For a whistle-stop<br />
tour of several wineries, choose a scenic cycle<br />
ride or board the hop-on, hop-off Franschhoek<br />
Wine Tram.<br />
