Cape Town holidays

Cape Town lies in the south-western corner of mainland Africa, near the Cape of Good Hope, the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. The city nestles in the shadow of iconic Table Mountain, overlooking the natural harbour of Table Bay.

South Africa’s first city has numerous international and domestic air links. Regional connections exist with Victoria Falls, Botswana and the Kruger National Park. So the city can be easily combined with a luxury family safari.

Cape Town’s summer months of November through to March see the city basking in warm, settled conditions. The coastal breeze moderates the temperature so getting out and about remains comfortable.

June to September can bring cooler temperatures, wind, and rain – remember the reputation of the Cape of Good Hope! During this period wind sensitive activities (boat trips and the Table Mountain cable car) can’t always be guaranteed.

However, in these months you also avoid the heat if you decide to include a South Africa family safari in the Kruger or Madikwe.

There really is something for everyone here.

Whatever your age, interests or reasons for visiting the gateway to Africa, Cape Town holidays tick every box imaginable.

Cape Town is the perfect beginning or end point to a South Africa family holiday.
