Day 1South Africa - Cape Town

Cape Town, South Africa's second-largest city with around 800,000 people (or about 3.4 million in the broader metropolitan area), is situated in the southern part of the country, just 50 kilometers from the iconic Cape of Good Hope, along the Atlantic Ocean. The city carries the historical influences of both Dutch and British colonization, shaping its architecture and culture. Today, Cape Town stands as a cosmopolitan and European-influenced hub distinct from other major South African cities.

Worth seeing
Table Mountain: Take a cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain in Table Mountain National Park for an unparalleled view of the surroundings. For the adventurous, try rappelling down the mountain from a height of 112 meters.
Cape of Good Hope: Explore Africa's southernmost point, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans converge, providing a captivating natural landscape.
Boulders Beach: Witness the renowned penguin colony at Boulders Beach, an enjoyable experience for both children and adults. Be cautious not to feed or touch the penguins, despite their cute appearance.
Noordhoek Farm Village: Located 30 minutes from the city center, this village offers beautiful sandy beaches, top-notch restaurants, intriguing shops, and more.

Climate
Cape Town experiences warm and dry summers with temperatures around 25 degrees Celsius from December to February. Winters, spanning June to August, are cooler, with temperatures dropping to approximately 10 degrees Celsius.
