Cape Town, and its hidden gems.

Every route we drive doubles as an invitation. When the schedule allows, these are the places worth the detour.

City

The Waterfront, the Bo-Kaap and Table Mountain's flat crown — home base for every itinerary.

Heritage

Brightly painted houses on cobbled streets, rich in Cape Malay history, heritage and food.

Wildlife

A sheltered cove near Simon's Town where African penguins waddle between granite boulders.

Peninsula

The dramatic southern tip of the peninsula, where cliffs meet two oceans — one of the most photographed sunsets in the Cape.

Winelands

Oak-lined avenues and estate cellars, forty minutes from the CBD — the classic winelands afternoon.

Coastal

Towering West Coast sand dunes, a striking detour on the way north from the city.

Reserve

The closest Big Five experience to the city — a popular half-day escape between meetings.

Hidden gem

The valley's finest tasting rooms and tables — best reached with a driver who knows the back roads.

18 holes

Cape Dutch vineyards wrapped around one of the peninsula's most scenic championship courses.

Seasonal

Land-based whale watching and the great white shark coast, roughly ninety minutes from the city.

Reserve

Malaria-free Big Five safari in the Karoo, a full-day chauffeured journey from Cape Town.
