Cape Town: A Top World-Class Destination
Think Cape Town and indulgence comes to mind: a Tomahawk steak at the Waterfront, vineyards stretching across one of South Africa’s nine wine regions with over 100 estates nearby, rooftop cocktails with Table Mountain as backdrop, and coastal drives along Chapman’s Peak. It’s a top food destination, a top outdoor playground, with kite-surf beaches, great mountain passes for the best rides, and cultural gems that demand exploration. This is not a stopover — it’s a proper destination that requires at least four days to savor. Luxury trains and safaris extend the journey, but the indulgence begins here — where ocean, mountain, cuisine, and culture converge.
