The capital of South Africa and one of the world’s most recognisable cities, Cape Town - or the Mother City as it is often known - is a cacophony of cultures that has worked hard to establish peaceful coexistence. Nowadays Christians, Muslims and Hindus rub shoulders with the traditional African practices that are indigenous to South Africa. After a turbulent past, every culture and lifestyle is accepted as a key ingredient to Cape Town’s unique flavour. The result of such an inclusive atmosphere? A creative freedom that has painted the city in every colour and pattern imaginable. From the natural wonders of Table Mountain to the local goods of Bay Harbour Market, holidays to Cape Town is a feast for the senses.

Guest reviews from travelers on tours in and around Cape Town

Debra F. | Traveled in November

This trip was amazing! We did so many things and saw so many animals that I never thought we would see in the wild. All the safaris whether it was on land or river, were incredible. Different every time we went out. The lodging was all 5 star except the Tlou Lodge, but it was clean and they tried their best. Just not equipped for groups, but couldn't be helped because of the fire at the original place we were to stay. So this was a last minute substitute. The second half of our tour which was wine country, Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope was a nice balance to the time in the outback. We loved Cape Town. Overall it was a great trip. Highly recommend. We were sad to come home.

I’ve traveled many places around the world and this was by far one of the best trips I’ve ever taken. Very organized excellent hotels lots to see. You guys outdid yourselves.

Exceptional tour guides, hotels, food, and excursion diversity. Every guest was treated with respect and care. Saw all aspects of Capetown and Johannesburg; the good, bad, and ugly. The wild life reserve was clean, well managed, and full of various animals, to include the Big 5. Intra-country transportation services were flawlessly executed.

I literally cannot find the words to express how incredible this trip was for me. 15 days of adventure, fun, adrenaline with meeting some of the best people I have ever met. We started as strangers and we left as really close friends. Our Trip Manager made it unforgettable and went above and beyond to make the trip run as smooth as possible for us. Africa is one of the best places I have ever visited and I can’t wait to return with my two sons and husband in the future. It just has so much to offer and I wouldn’t have done it any other way without Contiki. I traveled with my best friend and cousin and the three of us had such a good time. I do recommend taking any second hand clothes or stationary for the families of the township in Cape Town that you wish to donate. I wish I had known more about the townships and how very little they have in life. Really recommend using the card and app Wise as well for multiple country currencies while there. A few hotels are cash less but in saying that very good to have cash for tipping the locals if you want to. Africa definitely changes your perspective with some things in life and I feel very privileged to be able to see it the way we did. I travelled in October and the weather was perfect, warm further north we went, cooler in Cape Town. The animals and the wildlife in the national parks are just out of this world. We saw the big 5 within 2 hours of being at Kruger National Park. Was just mind-blowing and amazing to see them the way we did. Pack a rain jacket, pack binoculars, pack a head torch and neutral safari clothes. Thanks , thanks Contiki!!

Just incredible. Must do adventure! Accomodation was really nice. Many opportunities for Safari’s but they were all a bit different which made each one unique and worthwhile. Adding in the beaches too you get the best of everything. Highly recommend.

I have done a lot of travel and this was honestly the best trip I've ever been on. Every day was full of adventure, beautiful sceneries and unreal experiences. I wasn't sure what to expect going into this trip and only booked it for something different to do, however Africa has turned into my favourite place! I am already planning to go back and do other Contikis there next year.

    • Head to the suburb of Muizenberg for an afternoon of surfing or strolling along the boardwalk.
    • Visit Cape Town’s Boulders Beach Park and see African penguins in their natural habitat.
    • Take a tour to Cape Town’s Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, meet the friendly locals and their rainbow coloured homes.
    • The Bay Harbour Market is open on weekends and is a great place for souvenirs, delicious food and live music. Also check out the seals at Hout Bay.
    • Hike or cable car up to the top of Table Mountain, or alternatively hike the smaller Lion’s Head.
    • District Six Museum pays homage to the damage inflicted during apartheid and is a worthy history lesson.
      Spend an afternoon exploring the V&A Waterfront. The harbour is home to many restaurants, bars, shops and cinemas.
    • Wander along the Victorian architecture of Long Street where you’ll find quaint bars and cafes to stop for a drink.
    • Explore the Art-Deco buildings of Greenmarket Square.

    Travel Tips

    • Wind is forceful in Cape Town and the summer months of October-March are the windiest. April is the best time to visit.
    • Buses are slow and unreliable. Taxis are more expensive but safer.
    • Keep valuables hidden and avoid walking alone or in a couple at night.
    • Shoprite is the budget supermarket in Cape Town.
