Visiting Western Cape, South Africa


The Western Cape is on Africa's southwesternmost tip. It's also South Africa's most popular tourist destination - deservedly so. It offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and a lot more. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites. more » The Western Cape is on Africa's southwesternmost tip.
