Cape Town

The Mother City

Table Mountain, Cape of Good Hope, world-class wine valleys, and the most beautiful city in Africa.

Cape Town is consistently ranked one of the world's most beautiful cities — a dramatic confluence of mountain, ocean, and vibrant urban energy at the southern tip of Africa. Table Mountain — flat-topped and iconic — presides over the city like a natural cathedral, accessible by cable car or an exhilarating hike. The Cape Peninsula plunges south through some of the world's most spectacular coastal scenery to the Cape of Good Hope, where two oceans meet. Stellenbosch and Franschhoek's wine valleys are among the southern hemisphere's finest, producing world-class wines in a setting of Dutch Cape architecture and mountain backdrops. Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for 18 years, is one of humanity's most powerful historical sites. For Indian travellers, Cape Town offers incredible value, a large Indian community, and a travel experience that genuinely defies comparison.
