The Cape Region is the perfect introduction to South Africa with places such as Cape Town, the Winelands and Walker Bay - where you can see migrating whales. Equally famous is the Garden Route, a scenic stretch of coastline some 300 kilometres long.

The Cape Region & Winelands
Cape Town offers so much to see: the re-developed Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was jailed, District Six museum and of course the iconic Table Mountain.
The sheer coastline of Walker Bay allows migrating southern right whales to approach within metres of the shore. From June until December, this is the premier land-based whale watching destination in the world.
The Cape Peninsula is one of the world’s biodiversity hotspots, with a huge number of endemic floral species crammed into a small area.
The coastline of Walker Bay allows migrating southern right whales to approach within metres of the shore. Here, and Hermanus, are the best places in the world to see whales from the shore.
First opened up by European settlers in 1679 and now within easy driving distance of Cape Town, the valleys of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek have become known as 'The Winelands'.
