Welcome to Cape Town !

Here
in the shadows of the majestic Table Mountain lies the fairest Cape in the
entire world. Cape Town is the gateway to South Africa. For over 350 years the
cultures of Africa, Europe and the East met and mingled here. They have helped
to shape a city that is modern and ancient, rich in history and
culturally vibrant.
The
Cape has witnessed many momentous events in South Africa's history: the landing
of the Dutch settlers in 1652, the British invasion during the Napoleonic Wars,
the rebellion into the interior known as the Groot Trek. In 1990, Nelson
Mandela took his first historic walk to freedom. And it was here, four years
later, that Archbishop Desmond Tutu described the new South Africa as "the Rainbow Nation".
Today
South Africa is a peaceful democracy, a vibrant and exciting country of
enormous diversity and beauty. The pristine coastline with its white sandy
beaches, the magnificent countryside with its bountiful rivers and dams, and
the unique floral kingdom, together with it’s Mediterranean climate and
friendly community, makes Cape Town perfect for any vacation.
Now……
Let me show you the best of the Cape!
