The Western Cape region
South Africa's premier tourist destination, famous for its stunning coastline and breathtaking scenery. When Sir Francis Drake first rounded the Cape in 1580, he famously described it as "The most stately thing and the fairest Cape we saw in the whole circumference of the earth." ...
September to March is the peak season for good weather and for tourism. High temperatures range from 19º C in September (highest recorded is 33º) to 27º C in February (highest recorded is 38º C). In spring and summer (September to February) there is little rain, and strong south-easterly winds occur during November and early December.
Cape Town / Upper Green Point area
Cape Town is a sophisticated, cosmopolitan city at the gateway to a majestic continent. Warmed by the African sun, the city is dominated by a towering table-shaped mountain, set on a peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where two great oceans converge.
The city is a melting pot of cultures and offers a wide range of activities that cater to the adrenalin junkie (sky-diving, mountaineering, shark-cage adventures) and those in pursuit of more leisurely activities, like visiting the beautiful winelands of Paarl, Stellenbosch and Franschhoek or exploring the city's rich history (The Castle, The Slave Lodge, The District Six museum, The Gold of Africa museum). Take a ferry out to Robben Island to see the conditions under which some of South Africa's more famous freedom fighters, including Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu and Nobel Peace Prize laureate Albert Lithuli were imprisoned.
No visit to Cape Town is complete with out a trip around the peninsula, one of the most scenic drives in the world. Visit the Cape Point nature reserve, on the southern tip of the peninsula, and stroll among the penguin colony at Boulders Beach in Simonstown.
Green Point is the first of the Atlantic Seaboard suburbs as you travel east from the "city bowl". The area occupies the lower slopes of Signal Hill and offers spectacular views over Table Bay. Green Point is the most ideal location from which to explore the wonders of the city and the penisula. The 2010 Fifa World Cup Soccer Stadium is currently under construction on the Green Point Common, which is itself being transformed into a beautiful urban park. I live in Green Point and what I love most about it are the views over the green common and the huge expanse of sea beyond.
