Thousands of tourists come to Cape Town every year to visit this beautiful destination. There are so many things to do see and do in Cape Town that its no surprise that Cape Town is South Africa’s most popular destination. The following are the Ghecko Safaris consultants favourite attractions in Cape Town:
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is the icon most associated with cape Town and its powerful presence reverberates through every aspect of Capetonians life. Where you walk up it or take the cable car, phone ahead to check weather conditions as the station won’t open in bad weather and be sure to take warm clothing as the summit can be chilly even on summer days.
Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
We love the vibey atmosphere of the V& A Waterfront. Visit the shops, craft markets and restaurants while you are entertained by street performers, mime artists and choirs. The Waterfront is open until late at night enabling you to enjoy a full day of site seeing and then spend the evening at the Waterfront.
Cape Winelands
Arguably the most beautiful winelands in the world, the Cape is also producing internationally recognized wines. No trip to Cape Town would be complete without visiting the Winelands. The wines, people, destinations and experience are world class and shouldn’t be missed out on.
Cape Peninsula
No trip to Cape Town is complete without taking a days trip to the Cape Peninsula. Head along the scenic Chapmans Peak drive then on to Cape Point, part of the Table Mountain National Park and home to an abundance of flora and fauna. Make your next stop at Boulders Beach , Simons Town , home to one of the few land based penguin colonies in the world. Take a break at Kalk Bay Harbour, enjoy fresh off the boat seafood, followed by a stroll along the qualnt cobbled streets and some antique hunting.

Its lawns are ideal for picnics and there are several walking trails.
