CAPE POINT –
THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE NATURE RESERVE
Undoubtedly one of the Cape's
biggest attractions is the Cape of Good Hope Nature
Reserve at Cape Point. Situated at the tip of
the world-famous Cape Peninsula, flanked by the
Indian Ocean on the east and the Atlantic on the
west, it is noted for its abundant floral diversity.
The reserve has a spectacular coastline, with
Cape Point boasting the highest sea cliffs in
South Africa. From this lofty vantage point, you
can witness the meeting of the two oceans.
THE CAPE WINELANDS
– PAARL, FRANSCHHOEK AND STELLENBOSCH
Franschhoek,
meaning ‘French corner’, was so named
after the French Huguenots who settled here in
the 1680s. And here, they first made wine in South
Africa 300 years ago. Today it is one of the premier
destinations in the World of Wine.
Stellenbosch, founded in 1679,
represents the culmination of a long tradition
of winemaking. With a knowledge of winemaking
spanning three centuries, the Stellenbosch Wine
Region is today synonymous with high-quality,
award-winning wines.
Paarl, meaning ‘pearl’,
was founded in 1687 and named after a massive
granite rock that glows like a pearl in the sunlight.
The Paarl Wine Route is renowned for its exquisite,
world-class red wines because of the granite content
in the soil – hence its nickname, the ‘Red
Route’.
