Beyond Cape Town

Great Cape Town Combinations - Sun City      Great Cape Town Combinations - African Island Holidays
Don't let the residents of the Mother City tell you otherwise: there is more to Africa than Cape Town.

With natural wonders, action and adventure, raw big game reserves and tropical beaches just a short flight away, Cape Town is the ideal start – or finish – to your African travel experience.

Where ever your journey takes you, Go2Africa's African Travel Specialists can create tailor-made tours to make your dream African holiday a reality.



Cape Town combines with Cape Winelands cape town's winelands

The Cape Winelands refers mostly to the scenic wine growing valleys around the old towns of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, about 45 minutes drive from Cape Town.

However, the original wine estates of Constantia are conveniently located in Cape Town's southern suburbs or you could take a road trip along the Route 62, stopping at wine estates as you go.

Cape Town combines with the Garden Route The Garden Route
Indulge in great accommodation, button-popping good food and wine, sweeping beaches and stunning views with a trip down South Africa's Garden Route.

The Garden Route is a montage of quiet back roads and forested mountains, sleepy villages and bustling resort towns. Swing through the trees of the Tsitsikamma Forest or experience the world's highest bungee jump and finish the day dolphin-spotting from the beach.

Read about great activities on the Garden Route and Garden Route restaurants in our Go2Africa travel articles.

Cape Town combines with the Overberg's Whale Coast cape whale coast

Whale season in the Cape brings Southern Right and Humpback whales to the waters of the Overberg's Whale Coast to mate and calve every year.

Just over an hour's drive south of Cape Town are the gentle rural landscapes of the Overberg region, the beautiful vista's of Walker Bay and the very southern tip of the African continent.

Cape Town combines with a safari south african safari

Contrast the gentle indulgencies of the Cape's vineyards and beaches with the stark realities of life in the African bush.

The mighty Kruger National Park offers world-class accommodation and a diversity of wildlife second to none.

The wildlife reserves of the Eastern Cape also offer fantastic wildlife sightings and indulgent safari lodges, without the threat of malaria.

Of course there are many great safari destinations in the rest of Africa. Botswana boasts some of the world's best game viewing in enormous wildlife-packed reserves such as Chobe, Moremi and the spectacular Okavango Delta.

East Africa gives you options ranging from following animal migrations on the teeming savannahs of the Serengeti and Masai Mara to tracking gorillas in Uganda's dripping rainforests.

South Africa's Sun City combines with a Cape Town Holiday. Sun City and Safari

As if Cape Town isn't enough fun, Sun City was built specifically to squeeze every last ounce of action and adventure out of the sunny north-west of South Africa.

Play golf under a sweltering sky, chance your luck on the roulette tables and throw yourself at the watery mercy of the legendary wave machine.

Sun City has accommodation to suit every taste and budget and it's only a lion's roar away from big game destinations like Pilanesberg National Park and Madikwe Private Game Reserve.

Combine Victoria Falls with a Cape Town Holiday. spectacular victoria falls

Visit the mighty Victoria Falls and watch a thunderous curtain of water send a plume of mist hundreds of metres into the air.

You can experience the Falls from either Zimbabwe or Zambia - accommodation is excellent on both sides of the Zambezi - and the list of things to do, from stomach-churning white water rafting to elegantly swaying elephant-back safaris, is, as they say, endless.

Cape Town combines with an African Island Holiday african islands

There's no question that Cape Town's beaches are fabulous; clean white sand, shimmering oceans and beautiful people. There's only one problem: the water is absolutely freezing.

The good news is that the warm waters of the Indian Ocean islands are a short flight away.

Choose from the smooth-running charms of Mauritius; the tropical indulgences of the Seychelles; Mozambique's top diving resorts in the Quirimbas and Bazaruto or the cultural melee of exotic Zanzibar.
