Cape Town
South Africa's oldest city, with its majestic Table Mountain and Twelve Apostles backdrop, has developed into one of the most delightful cities in the world. Architecturally, it strikes a happy balance between old and new. The Edwardian and Victorian buildings have been meticulously preserved and many outstanding examples of Cape Dutch architecture can be seen. Cobbled streets and the Islamic ambiance of the Bo Kaap enhance the cosmopolitan feel, while the waterfront bustles with shops and cafes. The range of Luxurious accomodation in Cape Town has grown substantially over the past decade, ranging from the majestic Kensington Place and Cape grace hotels to the more modernised Tintswalo Atlantic, a stunning wooden lodge perched on seaside boulders in the heart of Cape Town's mountain reserve.
The regions surrounding Cape Town may not have the amount and array of games parks as Johannesburg offers including Kruger' National Park, but there are plenty of great wildlife-spotting opportunities, from the penguins at Boulders Bay to the antelopes, buffaloes and black rhino at Solole Game Reserve.
