Many travel experts say Cape Town is the greatest city in Africa, and who are we to disagree. Few cities in the world are blessed with such incredible natural assets as this jewel in South Africa's crown. With Table Mountain to the rear and the beautiful ocean to the front, Cape Town is a truly magical place to visit. Take a look at some popular things to do in Cape Town:

Table Mountain

Walker Bay

Beautiful Walker Bay is recognized as one of the world’s top whale viewing sites. All year round, whales can be seen swimming, playing and feeding. Sometimes you can see 20 or more whales playing at once, and often the incredible creatures come within 30ft of the shore. Take a picnic, a nice bottle of South African wine and enjoy the amazing surroundings.

Two Oceans Aquarium

Two Oceans Aquarium is one of the best marine animal parks in Africa. Home to over 3,000 creatures from sharks and stingrays to turtles and penguins, the aquarium reflects Cape Town's rich marine diversity. A hugely popular attraction for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended.

Robben Island

A trip across the water to infamous Robben Island is another must-do activity in Cape Town. The ferry takes you to the maximum-security prison where Nelson Mandela and many many others were held. Take a look at Mandela's empty jail cell and reflect on how far this great country has come since the dark days of Apartheid.
