Description

Ascend to the summit of Table Mountain overlooking Cape Town on a half-day tour that also includes a hotel pick-up and exploration of the city’s most historic neighborhoods. Our drive through the City Centre takes us past landmarks such as the Castle of Good Hope, built in 1666 by the Dutch East India Company. Admire the baroque grandeur of City Hall and the Grand Parade. Continue along Adderley Street to St. George’s Cathedral, overseen by the Anglican Diocese of Nobel Peace Laureate, Archbishop Desmond Tutu. We will pass the Company Gardens and the Malay Quarter (also known as “Bo-Kaap”) with its colourful houses. In the early 18th Century, thousands of slaves from Java, Ceylon & other Far Eastern regions were brought to Cape Town. After slavery was abolished, their descendants, known as the Cape Malay's settled here. Continue to join a sparkling tour, witness the art of diamond cutting; the careful craftsmanship of jewellery manufacturing by skilled experts and discover the history of the Diamond & Gold Trade in South Africa. Next, go to Table Mountain via Kloof Nek, and ascend to the top (weather permitting) by revolving cable car (tickets not included). Look for wildflowers and the famous silver tree, before getting a bird’s-eye view of the city and its beaches. On clear days it’s possible to see Cape Point on one side and Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned, on the other side.
