When it comes to going on safari, there are a lot of options. But it’s not often you get an animal sighting all to yourself. Or have the excitement of being able to go out with your own guide and vehicle to really track animals, not knowing what you will see along the way…albeit it won’t be another vehicle.

Why I love Cape Town
Cape Town remains one of my favourite cities in the world. A place where the carefree notion of coastal living and the determined drive of a bustling capital work hand in hand. The city has a dynamic vibe, full of creatives and some of the best restaurants in the world. Whilst everywhere you look you get stunning, panoramic views of that iconic mountain, one of the seven natural wonders of the world.

Cape Town offers South African charm in spades, successfully balanced with a cool and upbeat side; outstandingly good restaurants; hip boutique hotels; and a vibrant cultural scene. And it doesn’t stop there. What makes Cape Town so special is that within an hour’s drive of the famous Victoria and Albert Waterfront, you have access to shell strewn beaches, wildlife, adrenalin sports and the stunningly beautiful Winelands.
The only problem I find with Cape Town is that there’s so much to see and do, people often really don’t give the place enough time and leave wishing they’d stayed longer. Trust me, you’ll go to Cape Town once and will immediately start planning a return trip even before you’ve left.
Here are some of my suggestions of things to do and the best spots to explore:
