The most imposing part of the landscape in the Western Cape of South Africa is definitely Table Mountain.

The beaches of the Western Cape of South Africa are incredibly diverse. Whether you enjoy surfing, rock climbing or deep sea fishing, there is an activity for everyone.

One of the favorite pastimes in the Western Cape of South Africa is whale watching. Every winter, these gentle giants come to the shores of the Cape to mate and calve. Because there are many safe harbors where the whales can swim close to the shore, there are many opportunities to see them up close.
