Cape Town is
the largest city in South Africa, and a very popular tourist destination for
many reasons. You can find dozens of cheap
flights to Cape Town to fit your schedule, and thousands of people do this every
year.
Table Mountain is located within Table Mountain
National Park, and soars 1,086 metres above the Table Bay. The summit of this
beautiful sandstone mountain stretches almost 3km from side to side. The view
is amazing when it is clear, and you can easily access the top to partake in
this view by taking the cable way. You will gaze at a 360 degree view while
slowing riding to the summit. Or you can choose one of over 350 paths up the mountain.
However you choose to get to the top, you will not be disappointed when you
arrive.
If the giants of the ocean interest you, then
check out the Cape Whale Coast between June and November. Humpback, Bryde's and
Southern Right Whales make their appearance at the Cape Overberg coast. In
fact, over 37 species of whales and dolphins migrate here, and some can be seen
as close as 20-30 metres frm the shore. This is definitely a sight you don't
want to miss.
Cape Town's Beaches are a popular attraction, but
the water is a bit on the chilly side. The beautiful beaches make up for the
cold water, and if you feel restricted in a swimsuit, head to Sandy Bay, one of
the most well known nudist beaches. Boulder Beach, named obviously for the
giant boulders that shelter the beach, has been the home to African penguins
since 1982. These silly penguins will wander between boulders and swim in the
water with you. Children especially love this beach, but adults seem to keep
coming back as well.
The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens covers over 528
hectares of the slopes of Table Mountain. See an awesome fern garden, learn
what medicinal plants are used for, smell the fragrant scents, and treat your
eyes to fantastic colours. Egyptian geese and meerkats also make their home
here. Take in a sunset concert on the lawn to end your day.
Cape Point, also known as Cape of Storms or the
Cape Of Good Hope, reaches far into the sea. It contains some of the freshest
air and highest sea cliffs anywhere. It has been responsible for many
shipwrecks, as evident on the shipwreck trail hike. The lighthouse, which used
to be invisible to ships at sea, is now the most powerful on the coast.
These are just a few of the fantastic things you
can see in South Africa so searching for cheap
flights Cape Town should definitely be on your list.
