Situated at the meeting point between the Indian and Atlantic Oceans, Cape Town greets visitors with a multi-cultural smile, where huge shopping malls neighbour traditional markets in the brightly coloured Bo-Kaap district. Go for a trip along the Wine Route and discover the vineyards of Boland, with their extensive variety of grapes. You could then head up the mountain road of the Little Karoo, in the Western Cape, where ostriches populate the dry, desert lands. And then there is the Tsitsikamma National Park, which will impress any hiking fan.
