In Cape Town, discover modern culture, fascinating history and exceptional natural beauty, all rubbing shoulders with the magical Table Mountain. Sit a while in the ‘Mother City’ and take in the bustle of flower sellers, buskers, food markets and Capetonians going about their daily lives. Visit the Cape Town section on our website.
It’s very difficult to be bored in Cape Town. Despite the city’s nickname ‘Slaapstad’ – the sleepy city – it’s much more like New York. A city that never sleeps. Not in summer, not in winter. There’s so much to get up to here! The nickname comes more from the slow pace of locals and the [...]

Worth its salt “At sea a fellow comes out. Salt water is like wine, in that respect” – Herman Melville One of my favourite dining spots in Cape Town is without a doubt the Salt Restaurant, on the coast in Bantry Bay. It’s expensive; so you know there shouldn’t be any, you know, slip-slop riff-raff. [...]

But the city’s urban side is pretty attractive and bustling too. In [...]

I have never seen a woman play an electric violin whilst hanging upside down from the ceiling. That was of course until I spent an evening at The Brasserie, one of Cape Town’s latest and most fashionable restaurants. Dinner and performance are nothing new in Cape Town; Madame Zingara’s touched down first followed closely by [...]

Sure, it’s winter in Cape Town, but this is a city that’s great all year round. And one place you can’t miss when coming here is the world-class Victoria & Alfred Waterfront.

A big thanks to PJ, Warren and the rest of the Lion Sands team for hosting the Rhino Africa team at the Twankey Bar at the Taj Cape Town. A great night was had by all as the wine flowed and delicious canapés were nibbled. The Twankey bar could easily have stepped out of Faringdon [...]

Every year for the past 36 years Kirstenbosch Gardens has exhibited at the annual Chelsea Flower Show in London. This year for the first time Kirstenbosch nearly didn’t make it due to a lack of sponsorship. Thankfully the swift intervention of the Provincial Government of the Western Cape and the SA Gold Coin Exchange ensured [...]
