Explore South Africa
A few of our favourite places, views, wine farms, beaches, and little adventures while you’re here.
Cape Town Favourites
-
Table Mountain
Whether you take the cable car up or hike your way to the top, the views over Cape Town are unforgettable. If you’re up for a bit of adventure, we highly recommend hiking Skeleton Gorge up the mountain and taking the cable car back down for some of the best panoramic views in the city. -
Clifton Fourth Beach
Arguably one of the most iconic beaches in the world. White sand, beautiful sunsets, and some of the most beautiful beaches in Cape Town. But be warned the water is icy. -
Boulders Beach
Tiny penguins wandering around the beach. Enough said. There is a small SANParks conservation fee to enter. If you’d like to swim nearby, head down towards the sheltered beach coves just beyond the boardwalks where penguins are often swimming alongside visitors.
-
Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
Beautiful mountain-side gardens that feel almost unreal in spring and summer. Go for a picnic, or good photo opps. This is also a great starting spot for a hike up Table Mountain.
-
Hout Bay Harbour Lunch
Fresh seafood, ocean air, seals everywhere, and the kind of lunch that somehow turns into the whole afternoon. Super chill low key harbour vibes, but the best fish and chips in the country at Mariner’s Wharf
-
Zeitz MOCAA
A world-class museum of contemporary African art housed inside a converted grain silo. For all the art or architecture lovers this is a must visit.
-
Bo Kaap
Visit this vibrant neighbourhood in the heart of Cape Town. We recommend doing a walking tour where you can learn more about Cape Malay culture, wander through the colourful streets, and take some very photo-worthy pictures.
-
Hermanus
If you are up for a bit of a drive, this is a beautiful coastal town famous for whale watching, ocean views, and little seaside restaurants. We will be at the end of whale season, so if seeing a whale is on your bucket list this is a must do.
Our Favourite Wine Farms
-
Babylonstoren
Probably one of the most beautiful farms in the country. We highly recommend stopping by the Greenhouse Restaurant.
-
Boschendal
Perfect for long lunches, picnics, wine tasting, and spending the entire afternoon under the trees. One of the most picturesque farms. -
Vergelegen
Known for its incredible gardens, massive camphor trees, and beautiful wine estate setting. Even if you arent a wine drinker we would recommend this farm. Fun fact: this is also where Sherif asked Jolanda’s parents if he could marry their daughter.
-
Delaire Graff
Views, wine, art, architecture, incredible food. A very special place. We highly recomend their Coastal Cuvee Sauvignon Blanc.
-
Delheim
A relaxed and beautiful family-owned wine farm with amazing scenery and wine tasting. A great indoor tasting room just incase their is some bad weather
-
Fairview
One of the most iconic wine farms in the Cape, known for its wine and cheese tastings, beautiful countryside setting, and famous resident goats. Even non-wine drinkers will have a good time here. -
Franschhoek Wine Tram
CAN’T DECIDE WHERE TO GO?
We highly recommend doing the Franschhoek Wine Tram for a full day of wine farms, beautiful scenery, and very little responsibility. You will see some of the top top wine farms in Franschhoek.
