Cape Town - A Look at Africa's
Most Beautiful City
As winter approaches in the northern
hemisphere, the earth’s rotation round the sun means that summer beckons in the
south. I admonish you- take a few days off and follow the sun!
The best place to
catch the sun in the coming holiday season is without doubt Cape Town. Cape
Town’s claim to being the most beautiful city in
South Africa is undisputed. Cape Town is one of the top destinations for South Africa tours and
many seasoned
travel writers readily accept the city's claim that it is
indeed one of the most beautiful cities in the world.
The city is blessed
with
unrivalled gifts of nature. The mighty kilometer high flat top Table
Mountain dwarfs even the most ambitious skyscrapers in the business district.
The city is surrounded by glorious landscapes, stunning beaches and a bounty of
unique vegetation. Where else do you have a choice of the cool
Atlantic Ocean
and the warmer Indian Ocean?
But Cape
Town offers much more. It is
reputed to be the mostopen-minded and relaxed city in South Africa and is one of
the safest cities in Africa for
visitors. Action hero Jean-Claude Van Damme in
then city to shoot an action thriller recently declared: "I love waking up in
this city with the
sea around me and the fresh air. The people are young with
fresh and warm personalities and are friendly and it's acountry full of
hope."
The movie is being shot in the city and around the harbour and if
you are in town before the end of the year you just might get
to see Van Damme
at the waterfront. This is the same country that has produced some of the most
inspiring people of our times. Desmond Tutu the Nobel
Peace Prize winner past
leader of the Anglican flock in Cape Town, for example and of course Nelson
Mandela.
Take a boat trip to Robben
Island, one of the hottest
destinations for overseas visitors. This is where Nelson Mandela nearly lost his
sight quarrying lime during his long
imprisonment. Make sure to get to the
summit of Table Mountain by cable where you will enjoy some unforgettable
views.
Northwards of the
city center is the Victoria and Albert
waterfront- a trendy shopping and entertainment complex. It is packed with art
galleries, art and craft shops,
restaurants, taverns, cinemas, theatres and an
aquarium.It is easy to see why many beautiful people converge here. It is when
in Cape Town that you
will understand why Desmond Tutu named the country as the
“Rainbow Nation”. The peoples here have roots in the four corners of the planet
and together give the city its vivid colours.
Cape Town is well
connected
to one of the most popular travel destinations in South Africa: the Garden
Route.
