things to do in Cape Town

At the Cape Africa meets the West. CapeTown awaits and what you choose to do ultimately depends on YOU - your preferences and plans for your Cape Town vacation.

And it depends on the people you're travelling with - in our case, the kids :o).

But never fear, the Cape offers many and varied options for entertainment, from the tranquil to the extreme!

Talking about extreme, one of my newsletter subscribers has raved about the service at the Extreme Hotel in Cape Town . They have organised various adventure outings for her and friends, and she's a local resident not even a hotel guest!)

I have also compiled a list of family things to do in Cape Town which may also be of interest to you.
