Travel to South Africa and discover the beautiful region of the Western Cape, a province with charming villages and quaint towns such as Cape Town. It’s the ideal location for experiencing the rich heritage left behind by French, British and other nationalities of settlers. It’s also a dream destination for dining, sightseeing and relaxing.

And if you’re looking to treat yourself to a day of shopping, the superb currency exchange will certainly help you when acquiring gold, diamonds or any other treasures that may tempt you. The Western Cape also offers leather goods, out-of-the ordinary handicrafts and exquisite art. If you prefer the air-conditioned venues, the large shopping centers of Cape Town will not disappoint.

As you set out to discover the wonders of this beautiful region, you’ll come across breathtaking scenery afforded by sun drenched beaches and verdant valleys. You’ll witness an array of vineyards now producing internationally renowned wines and brandies.

Thrill seekers will definitely enjoy the chances for caving, rock climbing, hiking, sports fishing or attending the horse races. And adrenaline junkies will find the bungee jumping and white water rafting much to their liking. But if you’re among those who prefer the more sedate activities, there’s everything from golf to sailing. You might even delight in a game of cricket or watching the different tournaments that take place every year. Among these, the Argus Cycle Tour is a favorite.

Cultural events are an intricate part of life in the Western Cape. No matter what season you choose for your visit, there’s never a shortage of concerts, ballet, opera or theater performances. And just because the sun goes down it doesn’t mean you have to return to the hotel. With nightclubs, bars and restaurants that stay open until late hours your evenings will be filled with excitement.

To appreciate astounding scenery a journey to Table Mountain is a must. Boasting an elevation of 1,086 meters, it features splendid vistas of the city and the coastline. And if time allows, follow the Garden Route of Western Cape which will take you through a scenario of crystal clear lakes, rivers and the mesmerizing shores along the Indian Ocean.

Consider the Western Cape. It’s closer than you think.
