At leisure in Cape Town

Arrive in Cape Town and transfer to your chosen hotel for a stay of 3 nights. There’s much to explore in this beautiful city. Table Mountain is a must and we are sure you’ll want to explore the shops, arts and crafts, entertainment and food halls at the V&A Waterfront. Some of our favourite activities include a gourmet picnic in a vineyard, watching the sun set from Signal Hill and a spectacular helicopter ride along the coastline. We have suggestions for dining experiences you won't want to miss and an extensive range of day trips which we recommend booking in advance. Just ask the African Pride team for details.
