The Western Cape’s Garden Route and Route 62, which meanders through the Little Karoo and leads to Knysna and the wildlife areas near Port Elizabeth, both begin in Cape Town. With its distinct fynbos and Namaqualand flora, the Cape boasts one of the world’s richest plant biomes. It also boasts breathtaking scenery and a diverse array of fauna and flora.
Rich in history, Cape Town is a cultural melting pot whose colourful personality comes from the Khoisan and other northern African tribes as well as from Dutch, British, German, Indonesian, and French colonists. Cape Town, which effortlessly combines the old and the new, has a captivating charm that draws you in from the moment you arrive.
