Cape Town, is the second most populous city in South Africa, after Johannesburg. It is the capital of the Western Cape Province, as well as the legislative capital of South Africa, it is famous for its port, as well as for its natural conjunction of flora. Cape Town is possibly the most European city in Africa, so when you arrive you will feel at home.
When you arrive we recommend you to take the opportunity to see the whales, seals and dolphins from Hermanus, located between magnificent mountains and the Indian Ocean, it is one of the best viewpoints on land in the world. You can also watch them from a boat trip, or, if you dare, you can sail with them!!.
Every year, from July to November, southern whales flock to this coastal city, just outside Cape Town, to mate and breed, thanks to its shallow waters, so Hermanus offers you the best opportunities to live the experience of sailing with the whales, a much more extreme Kiteboarding, which will be a unique and wonderful experience.
Upon your return, you will have the opportunity to walk around the city of Hermanus, and visit its boutiques, art galleries and craft shops, or make a brief stop to enjoy a wine tasting, before heading back the way beautiful coastal road around False Bay. If there is time, you can make a stop at Stoney Point and you will see some African penguins among the rocks. You may even have the opportunity to keep watching whales during the road trip along the coast.
On the west coast of South Africa, you can visit Langebaan, it was the largest whaling port in the southern hemisphere, which fortunately is no longer in operation, only an hour and a half from Cape Town and can be reached by national road which is the shortest and parallel way to the coast, from where you will enjoy views and unique landscapes, you can also go by a highway, but the road becomes longer and will not be worth it.
In Langebaan, it is impossible to get bored, with currents of wind that invite you to go to the water and enjoy one of the best beaches for Kiteboarding, but if one day there is no wind or you just want to do other things, Langebaan, is a residential area where you will have golf courses, a national park, horse riding, water skiing, diving, helicopter flight, fishing, bird watching, whale watching, paint ball, surfing, sea kayaking and of course, a Saturday night you can not miss a visit to the famous “Flamingos” night club!
It is not a city used to receiving European tourists, but its people are extremely friendly and welcome any foreign tourist. You can go peacefully through its streets, beaches, parks, etc. It is a very safe city and where there is no crime.
In Waterfront, which is the most tourist area, you can hire the famous excursion to dive with the white shark, and it is worth walking through it and getting to know it, not every day you have the opportunity to be in Cape Town !.
In Cape Town, you can move with ease is a very safe and welcoming city.
