At the very tip of the large African continent lies South Africa, and to it's furthest point south lies the most beautiful city in the world!

Until 350 years ago, Cape Town was a mysterious place at the end of the then known world.  Surrounded by unfriendly stormy waters on almost all sides, this city was only a place of myth.  The Khoi-khoi (men-of-men) people who lived here were at peace with themselves and nature. 

Cape Town lies on a long peninsula that stretches 60 km or about 40 Miles into the two oceans on either sides, namely the Atlantic and the Indian oceans.  The unique flat-topped mountain, called Table Mountain that goes down the one side of the peninsula adds to the glorious beauty of the city.

Table mountain has become the trademark of Cape Town.

Cape Town offers un-spoilt beaches where the Mediterranean sun in Summer shines for 4 out of five days.

Cape Town offers much much more than just natural beauty and sunshine.  Cape Town is also a well developed city offering a first-world economic infrastructure, and spectacular indoor fun.  This ranges from the large "Ratanga Junction" theme park boasting modern roller coasters and more, to the "Two-oceans" aquarium portraying the underwater southern seas in an enormous walk-through aquarium.  The Waterfront shown above offers craft markets, modern shopping stores, restaurants and much more.

Cape Town lies in one of the worlds largest floral kingdoms.  Visit the Kirstenbosch botanical gardens to view the thousands of plant species.

Cape Town is a multicultural place.  It is home to over half a million residents from European descent. It also has a million or so people from mixed European, Eastern and indigenous Khoi-khoi descent.  Cape Town also has about half a million black African people that have migrated from the Eastern and Northern territories of South Africa over the past few centuries. 

The languages spoken are English (predominantly in the city), which is also the second language of most Capetonians.  Afrikaans (resembling Dutch) is also very common, as well as isiXhosa.  The traditional language of the Khoi-khoi has unfortunately died out, but still surfaces in many words uses in Afrikaans and isiXhosa.  Most of Cape Town is Christian, but it also has a large and vibrant Muslim population that descends from slaves imported from the East during colonial times.
