The Western Cape of South Africa is one of the premiere vacation destinations to visit in the Southern Hemisphere. Each year, one and a half million tourists enjoy the staggering beauty of Table Mountain, along with an incredible amount of beaches, the Atlantic and Indian oceans, national parks, wine tours, whale watching, and diamond shopping. All of this and more can be found in the Western Cape of South Africa. In fact, there is so much to do here, that it's almost like taking several vacations in one.

The most striking part of the landscape on the Western Cape of South Africa is the world famous Table Mountain. It towers 3,300 feet above the city bowl of Cape Town and is accessible by road, hiking trails, or cable car. Once at the top, visitors can look down through the clouds surrounding the mountain to see the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean, as well as the city of Cape Town and all of its historic architecture.

The beaches of the Western Cape of South Africa are incredibly diverse. Whether you enjoy surfing, rock climbing or deep sea fishing, there is an activity for everyone. The beaches of Clifton, Camps Bay, and Llandudno are pristine, and because of their elite cafes and shops are referred to as the 'Riviera' of the Western Cape. If you prefer a warmer ocean and sandier beaches for swimming, the Indian Ocean is perfect almost year round.

One of the favorite pastimes in the Western Cape of South Africa is whale watching. Every winter, these gentle giants come to the shores of the Cape to mate and calve. Because there are many safe harbors where the whales can swim close to the shore, there are many opportunities to see them up close.
