Cape Town has it all: from the best foods to the best wines and all the way down to the best beaches with waves, wind and sun soaked views of table mountain. I only spend a week here but already feel right at home. The conditions for water sports (beware! the water is quite cold) like surfing and kite boarding are perfect and the nature reserves are perfect for hiking and mountain biking. After a day in the outdoors, what could be better than having a meal that most food junkies would be jealous of, paired with a wine straight out a sommelier’s dreams. Don’t take my word for it, start planing your trip and feel free to ask me any questions that you might have.
Cape Town has so many things to offer. To make planing your trip easier, I will share a list of my favourite things to do, places to visit, and foods to try with you.
