CAPE TOWN

"The Mother city of South Africa", Cape Town lies in an incomparable setting between the Atlantic Ocean and the majestic backdrop of Table Mountain. A truly excellent destination to escape the long British winter and enjoy some well-deserved sunshine!

Cape Town, and its surrounding countryside, has everything to offer the visitor; ride the cable-car to the top of Table Mountain for a panoramic view of this beautiful city. Visit the wine-lands for stunning scenery, Cape Dutch architecture, wine tasting and tours. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront for shops, restaurants and craft stalls. Simons Town to see the comical Jackass Penguins of Boulders Beach. Robben Island, the former prison, where Nelson Mandela was incarcerated. Cape Point for panoramic views of the Cape Peninsula. The wide sandy beaches at Clifton, Camps Bay, Bloubergstrand, Muizenberg and Noordhoek - all this awaits to captivate you!

Our tour is especially designed to coincide with the J & B Met, South Africa's biggest race - a truly grand occasion with an electric atmosphere. The Ascot of the Cape! This is without doubt the premier Racing/Social event on the South African racing calendar. The racecourse at Kenilworth offers competitive calibre racing with excellent viewing.
