Things To Do in Cape Town, South Africa

View of Table Mountain from Lion's Head Cape Town is one of my favourite cities in the world. It's a beautiful blend of the coast, the mountains and the city. It's located on the shore of Table Bay, on the western coast of South Africa. It's the second most populous city after Johannesburg.

I thoroughly enjoyed the experience because it seemed as if there was an unspoken trust between us (humans and wild animals). Together in peace and harmony, that's really the way it...

Gorgeous coastline Noordhoek is another suburb in Cape Town, located about 35 km south of the city and 15 km from Hout Bay. We took the scenic route from Hout Bay around Chapman's Peak to Noordhoek also known as the "Chapman’s Peak Drive" or as the locals fondly call it "Chappies", is a 9 km route that winds (114 curves) along the rocky Atlantic coastline.
