The quintessential melting pot of South Africa, Cape Town is a city alive with sounds, tastes, colour and fun.
Walking in South Africa is best experienced as a well-rounded exploration of both the landscape and the cities. Start in Cape Town, where you can't help but fall in love with the culture and people.
Your first port of call should be Signal Hill, where you can get true panoramic views of the city from the peak. After this, wander through the historic part of Cape Town, past Company Gardens,
St. George's Cathedral, the President's home (de Tuynhuis) and the very famous flower sellers of the city. Spend the rest of the day relaxing, shopping or resting in your hotel to prepare for the next day.
Next, head to the Cape Peninsula and explore the Cape of Good Hope National Park. You will travel along coastal roads and through some chic suburbs of Camps Bay, Clifton and the beautiful fishing community of Hout Bay, before coming to a scenic drive along Chapman's Peak. From here, you will soon arrive at the
Cape Peninsula National Park where you can spend a few hours just wandering around discovering the flora and fauna here. If you feel energetic, take a walk up to the lighthouse to inspect it close up.
Your next adventure should be to take a cable car up to Table Mountain, then enjoy a scenic walk along the edge of the mountain until you reach Maclear's Beacon at the very top. You can enjoy a lovely
picnic lunch while you are up there before returning to the city.
Another must-see while you are on a
holiday walking in South Africa is the Winelands. The region is abundant with vineyards, thanks to the ideal, temperate climate. Here, you can take a relaxing walk in Jonkershoek Nature Reserve, near Stellenbosch. Indulge yourself in the wine tasting session before being served a delicious lunch!
Walking in South Africa not only allows you to enjoy the beauty of the landscape up close and personal, but immersing oneself in the culture at such an intimate level allows one to truly experience this wonderful country, rather than simply visit it.
