South Africa

If the Western Cape were a woman, she would turn heads. As a province of South Africa the Western Cape draws millions of visitors each year to a seemingly small area if compared with other provinces in South Africa, but one that is so beautiful that it can’t help the distinct attention it draws.

Affixed to the tip of Africa as it is, the Western Cape lies bordered by two oceans - the Indian Ocean to the south and the Atlantic to the west - which goes a long way to clarify its allure. The wild Cape Agulhas the extraordinary magnificence of the Garden Route the sparse, sweeping stretches of sand, punctuated only by rocky outcrops and fishing villages, of the West Coast not withstanding, it is not the coastline alone that draws the crowds.

The constant reassuring presence of immense peaks form the backdrop to a land so lovely in parts that the emerald lakes and indigenous forests of the Wilderness the sun-drenched vineyards of the Cape Winelands the magnificent passes to reach the interior and the wide, windswept arid spaces of the Klein Karoo seem part of fantasy landscape that often defies description.

Cape Town
Cape Town City - City Business District: The heart of the Western Cape is without doubt the city of Cape Town. With a distinct flavour of its own, affected in no small part by the cultural melting pot of Indonesian, French, Dutch, British and German settlers who each indelibly stamped their mark upon the foundations of the city, Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world today.

Cape Wine Routes when one reflects on the splendors of the Cape - lush green valleys, rugged mountains, azure seas and sky - then the Cape’s winelands are usually top of the list. Visitors pour into the Cape to experience our viticulture, restored Cape Dutch farmsteads with their distinctive gables and thatched roofs, and the mountains that form the dramatic backdrop to all of this.The Cape winelands are some of the most scenic in the world and wine tourism is one of South Africa’s fastest growing industries.

South Africa also has the largest number of Fairtrade certified wineries in the world and the biggest single Fairtrade accredited project worldwide was recently launched at Du Toitskloof Cellar in Rawsonville in the Western Cape.
