South Africa lies at the southernmost point of the mighty African continent and is quite simply one of the most breathtaking places in the world, the capital city of South Africa is the well-known city of Cape Town, where you can find some of the most diverse landscapes and wildlife in the whole continent. Read on to find out 4 main reasons why you should visit cape town in 2018
This is one of the most visited tourist sites in South Africa. Its a charming waterfront area that is home to a bustling, vibrant marketplace, as well as an abundance of shops, restaurants and bars. Its often busy, with tourists heading here to buy gifts, take a ride on the Cape Wheel, which is South Africas version of the London Eye and take boat trips to view the landscape and skyline from the sea.
This is Cape Towns answer to Alcatraz and where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years of his 27 year confinement. Its one of the most visited attractions of Cape Town and can be reached via ferry, taken from Cape Towns waterfront. There are penguins and sacred ibis on the island as well as the prison and museum.
No South African holiday of a lifetime is complete without a trip to a game reserve. This is the natural home of the Big 5 in terms of wildlife and everyone who visits should allow themselves enough time to have the opportunity to see some of the most impressive creatures on the planet in their indigenous habitat. Samara is a luxury, private game reserve in the Karoo. Its a three hour drive from Cape Town. Here you could glimpse lions, leopards, buffalo, elephants, rhinos, springbok and wildebeest.
As we mentioned previously, there are some great places to eat out and go drinking in Cape Town. Long Street is where you need to be for your pre meal drink and possible once youve finished your meal too, as this is where the nightclubs are! As for the meal itself, theres a wealth of variety in the food here. Luke Dale is the oft cited and well known chef behind both The Test Kitchen and The Pot Luck Club, both of which have excellent reputations in the city. Myoga and Bistro 1682 are also exquisite. For formal dining, you might want to try La Colombo or Kitma.
If youre just snacking during the day, some of the must try street food included anything from Charlys Bakery, lamb and apricot samosas, hot pickled fish and koeksisters, which are doughnuts that are plaited and soaked in cinnamon syrup.
