Tours & trips in and around spectacular Cape Town & the Western Cape

1. Cape Town City Centre Tour

2. Cape West Coast - Coastal Route North R27
   

   Ask any group of South Africans about the Cape West Coast and they'll immediately launch into tales of fresh seafood, spring flowers, picturesque white washed fishing villages and kite boarding and buggying.

   
3. Cape Winelands Route
   

   The Cape Winelands are amongst the most scenic winelands in the world. Visitors pour into the Western Cape to experience our viticulture, restored Cape Dutch farmsteads with their distinctive gables and thatched roofs, and the mountains that form the dramatic backdrop to all of this.

   
4. Cape Garden Route - Coastal Route East N2
   

   Named for the amazing beauty of the area - it's a natural garden of mountains, forests, fynbos and water - the Garden Route is one of South Africa's favourite holiday destinations.

   Heading for Cape Point this tour takes you on a scenic drive by the Atlantic coast along Chapman's Peak. Stop off at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve for an introduction to beautiful indigenous Fauna and Flora. Return to Cape Town via Simon's Town, Fish Hoek and Muizenberg.

   Route 62 meanders between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn, the Langkloof and Port Elizabeth, offering the shorter, scenic alternative to the N2 highway.

   The Cape Care Route is a selection of projects and initiatives that showcase sustainable development where people are caring for the environment and for each other.

8. Cape Namibia Route - Inland Route North N7
   

   This is the one route where you can touch dinosaur fossils, dive in kelp forests, play in the snow, revel in the cacophony of hundreds of thousands of seals and gannets, immerse yourself in the spectacle of the second-biggest canyon on earth; kayak in white and blue water, eyeball black-maned lions and sip German beer to oompah music.

   
9. Cape Karoo Route - Inland Route
   

   There are many who say that the wide open plains of the Great Karoo are the true heart of our beautiful country. And perhaps the best way to explore this mysterious, silent and fascinating region is to follow the N1 north-eastwards from Cape Town towards Beaufort West.

   
10. Cape Whale Coast Route - Coastal Route South East
    

    The Whale Coast is made up of a collection of villages, farms, rivers, bays, coves and valleys - each filled with its own special magic. Visit throughout the year for shark cage diving and the penguins, and between July and November to watch the whales.
