Food tour

So much about a country and a culture is expressed through its cuisine. In South Africa, much of the cuisine is a home-style cooking and to get a taste you really need to search hard. A guided tour will explore the history of this country and city, walking through the back streets to find these local tastes. Walk the streets of Cape Town and experience its history, its people and its culinary delights. Stop to taste a mixture of traditional food, South African street food and to visit some artisanal foodie and coffee shops. During your walk you’ll have the opportunity to taste some of the following items: African Soul food: pap, samp & beans, vetkoek Falooda - a traditional Muslim Rose Milkshake; a gourmet bunny chow to get a little taste of Indian Cuisine and bobotie pies - a modern take on the traditional Bobotie dish which both the Cape Malay group and white Afrikaner group refer to as their traditional dish.

Cape Town Golf

Thanks to Gary Player and Ernie Els, golf enjoys a strong following in South Africa, and there are some world-class courses thanks to this legacy. There are historic courses, like the Royal Cape Golf Club, and more modern courses, purpose-built and designed by famous designers, such as the Erinvale course, designed by Gary Player. One thing that all the Cape courses share is the weather: whilst there will be lots of sun, which is great, there is also quite a bit of wind, making the courses more challenging than they may initially seem! Let us make your tee time reservations for you, and advise you how to fit some golfing into your time in South Africa.

Cape Town Sightseeing Bus

There are 17 stops on the Cape Town city tour offered by the hop-on, hop-off bus, and they cover all the main attractions. Starting at the V&A Waterfront, it wends through the city bowl stopping at St George’s Cathedral, the District Six Museum and the Cape Malay quarter of Bo-Kaap, before passing by the Table Mountain Cableway and then crossing the Kloof Nek pass and dropping into Camps Bay. It then starts to return along the coastline, through Sea Point past the brand new football stadium and back to the V&A Waterfront. You can get tickets valid one day, or two days as well as enhanced packages that include tickets for the Table Mountain Cableway and the Two Oceans Aquarium. The upper deck of the bus is open-topped allowing you to make the most of the sunny weather. Commentary is provided and includes a special commentary channel for children. This is a great way to see the city, and is considerably cheaper than a hire car or a taxi!

Ratanga Junction Theme Park

Ratanga Junction is a theme park offering rides that vary from the scream-out loud, 4G, 100 km/h thrills of the Cobra to the Crocodile Swamps, a gentle water ride for the younger and more sedate visitor. A simulator offers six different rides, taking you to different corners of the world and even into space, and for the most adventurous there is a slingshot, where strapped into a harness, you’ll be released from the top of a gantry, descending into a 90 km/h freefall before swinging back up again. There are a range of restaurants and shops in the park, which is set around a large river, making for a pleasant setting. Although theme parks are not a traditional thing for visitors to South Africa to do, it makes for a fun day out, particularly if you are travelling with children.

Hike up Table Mountain

For those who think the cable car is the easy way to the top, why not lace up your walking boots and take the more adventurous route to the top of Table Mountain. Along with your guide, you'll take on our favourite ascent route, offering both brilliant views and an adventurous climb. Steep rocky trails wind up the front of the mountain to a series of short vertical faces protected by chains and staples, followed by a series of ledges that swing from views over Cape Town to vistas of Camps Bay and the 12 Apostles. Strong walkers have the option to continue to the highest point at Maclear's Beacon before returning to traverse the western table and then descending via cable car. Whilst this is the most popular route up the mountain, there are several other options are available and some of these can extend into full-day hikes as well. Note: The cable car can close at any stage due to inclement weather. In this event, you'll be required to walk back down the mountain - an additional 2hrs of hiking.
