Western Cape Travel Guide
The Western Cape is a province of diversities. It offers the visitor a unique
cultural and natural heritage and a rural easy-going atmosphere - which is coupled with a first
world infrastructure.
From the time of the first recorded discovery of the Cape of Good Hope
by Bartholomew Diaz in 1488, seafarers looked forward to the sight of Table Mountain. Today, 500
hundred years later Table Mountain and Cape Town remain two of the world's most famous landmarks and
sought after destinations.
In Cape Town with its cosmopolitan population and atmosphere,
you'll find the blend of cultures, foods and colours of East and West. And within the greater Cape
Peninsula you'll find Cape Point, the Cape Peninsula National Park, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens,
Table Mountain with its mountain splendour, numerous beaches, surfing spots and a host of adventure
activities to undertake.
The easiest way to fully explore the Western Cape, is to visit the
different regions:
West Coast - stretching north of Cape Town from Yzerfontein through
Saldanha Bay, Paternoster and Vredenburg into the wild flower areas along the Atlantic coast.
Winelands
- a haven of gracious, white-gabled farmsteads evoking a rich, elegant heritage. Western Cape is the
heart of the grape and wine production in the country.
Garden Route - the Garden Route with
its pristine beaches, mountains, forests, lakes, rivers and kloofs is an absolute holiday
destination, a place to restore your soul and revitalize your body and mind.
Klein Karoo -
travelling through the Klein (Little) Karoo the visitor passes through fruit growing, wine producing
and ostrich farming towns such as Oudtshoorn, Calitzdorp, Ladismith, Barrydale and Uniondale and
historic Amalienstein, Zoar and Dysselsdorp.
Breede River - in the valley of the Breede River
you'll enjoy magnificent mountain scenery, breathtaking views, dare the great outdoor activities and
visit nature reserves and living museum.
Overberg - the Overberg offers you beaches and
secluded coves stretching for kilometers along the coast, the southern most point of Africa where
two oceans meet, the heart of the Whale Coast and symmetrical swatches of rich farmlands set off by
rugged mountains.
Some of the interesting routes to follow are the Brandy Route, visiting the
Mission Stations of the West Coast, travelling via Route 62 from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth, doing
the whale route, travelling the Scenic Passes and visiting the Winelands.
The Western Cape
also offers you a number of National Parks, many Nature Reserves, some of the oldest towns in South
Africa, picturesque coastal towns and villages along the Garden Route and West Coast and small Karoo
farming towns.
And the Western Cape offers the visitor also a melting-pot of culinary
traditions and cosmopolitan cuisine, the city and countryside tempt visitors with an eclectic taste
of both past and present.
The Western Cape offers you a unique travelling experience.
