Cape Town Attractions

Okay, so you have made your mind up, and you are coming to Cape Town, your accommodation and tours are booked (hopefully with us :) ) now the question arises - what can I do and see? Well, hopefully, this is where this page comes into play.

It is here on this page and below links that you will find photographs, prices and information for a few of Cape Town's "Must Visit" Attractions and destinations. All photographs are by us here at Uyaphi.com, so please enjoy.

We are still in the process of adding more attractions to this page, but as a general rule of thumb, these are the most popular/ must-visit destinations in and around Cape Town.

NOTE: are the attractions below are of the paid variety, i.e. there is an entrance fee or a toll when visiting. Things to do in Cape Town that is on the free side of life can be found on our "Discover Cape Town" Page.

Tourist Attractions Cape Town

  • Boulders Beach Penguins

    Boulders Beach Penguins
    Boulders Beach near the coastal town of Simon's Town is one of the very few spots on the planet where one can get up close and personal with Penguins. So close in fact that one does not need a good camera with a big lens, we have in the past used just a simple cell phone camera to photograph these little beasties!

  • Two Oceans Aquarium

    Two Oceans Aquarium
    Two Oceans Aquarium located within the V&A Waterfront is one of the better destinations for families or those adults interested in all things fishy. The Aquarium offers 88 aquatic species with over 3000 sea creatures from both the Indian and Atlantic Oceans all within 7 distinct exhibits.

  • Table Mountain

    Table Mountain
    Table Mountain, that old flat-topped landmark that dominates the city of Cape Town from all angles is without question Cape Town's most photographed feature. A few interesting facts; she is +- 600 million years old, she offers up 2200 species of plants, and she sits 1086 metres above sea level.

  • Chapman's Peak Drive

    Chapman's Peak Drive
    Chapman's Peak Drive is one of the most iconic drives anywhere in Africa; this 9km is all about scenery with the Atlantic Ocean below, Hout Bay in the distance and Table Mountain National Park above. It is not uncommon to see whales and dolphins from the vantage points as well as some amazing sunsets.

  • Climbing Table Mountain

    Climbing Table Mountain
    The Table Mountain Aerial Cableway is closing down from the 22nd July till the 25th August; it’s the longest closure for many years. Urgent replacement work is needed as well as seasonal repairs. So, no getting to the top by the cable car.

  • Helicopter Flight over Cape Town

    Helicopter Flight Over Cape Town
    While in Cape Town and looking for that one simply amazing 'Treat', look no further than Helicopter Flight Over Cape Town. Taking off near the V&A Waterfront and following a few flight paths, the longer the duration, the more the cost.

  • Constantia Winelands, What to Do?

    Constantia Winelands, What to Do?
    Just the name of the Cape Town winelands suggests a lazy weekend outing to Stellenbosch or Franschhoek, tasting some excellent wines and then a relaxed luncheon at one of the numerous vineyard restaurants. What people forget is that you can do this right on the doorstep of Cape Town itself within a twenty minute drive south from the city centre to the Constantia Valley.

  • Cape Town Sightseeing Bus

    Cape Town Sightseeing Bus
    Like most major cities in the world, the City Sightseer offers travellers several options to take in all the attractions, over several different routes. If you are short on time, then this has to be one of the best and budget-friendly ways to see the City of Cape Town -The City Sightseer Bus.

  • Cape Town Kite Festival

    Cape Town Kite Festival
    At the beginning of November, Muizenberg hosted the 19th Cape Town Kite Festival; an annual jamboree which attracted crowds of over 20000. Being good and responsible corporate citizens of Muizenberg, the Uyaphi team witnessed the sublime and the strange over this two-day festival

  • Design in Cape Town

    Design in Cape Town
    With the Design Capital motto of "Live Design; Transform Life" serving as a leitmotif, Muizenberg is experiencing an unprecedented and exciting wave of investment, community involvement and physical regeneration. Once run down, and derelict corners and buildings have morphed into vibrant areas of activity.
