Cape Town Travel

Cape Town, the "Mother City" of South Africa. A holiday in Cape Town is not just about great beaches, scenery and food; it is a step back in time. At Uyaphi.com we invite you to one of the most visually stunning, culturally diverse and historic cities on the African continent.

Interestingly; Table Mountain is over 600 000 000 years old while people have been living in sight of Table Mountain for the past 27 000 years and let us not forget that wine has been produced here since 1679.

The city of Cape Town is dominated by the flat-topped mass of Table Mountain that is flanked on either by Signal Hill and Devil's Peak as well as being surrounded by the Atlantic Ocean. The City offers excellent shopping, superb restaurants, kilometres and kilometres of wine estates, adventure activities, and exceptional shorelines.

Bored is not an expression used when on holiday in Cape Town, with world-famous attraction like Robben Island, Table Mountain, Clifton and Camps Bay, Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, Constantia Winelands, Cape Point Nature Reserve, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Hout Bay and Chapman's Peak Drive (now open) to name a few for starters.

The ideal start or end to your African safari, Cape Town is best in the summer months and more cost-effective in the winter months - either way, the city has a lot to offer in both seasons.
