About Cape Town & Airport

Cape Town is South Africa's leading airport. It currently handles over four million passengers a year. Cape Town Airport is a major tourism gateway to the Western Cape region. With a modern glass and polished steel structure, it has the capability to handle passengers quickly.

Whilst it is referred to as South Africa leading airport, it is in fact out sized by the airport of Johannesburg. A taxi and shuttle bus service connects the airport to Cape Town. Lots of day trips can be planned, using Cape Town as your base.

A day trip in your hire car to Table Mountain will of course be top of the list. However, also plan a day trip skirting the Atlantic seaboard to Hout Bay. Here you park your rental car and take a boat trip and visit Seal Island.

Cape Town is known by locals as the Mother City. At Table Mountain, the safest option is to get the cable car up the mountain as the weather can change quickly. Park your hire car at the car park at the foot of the mountain in the safe park zone. However, make sure you drive your hire car around the other side of the bay, to see the mountain in all it's glory. Plenty to do and see in Cape Town, including the Victoria & Albert waterfront.

Garden Route - more than just a bunch of Proteas! -
The Garden Route is a very diverse trip, that should be taken over a number of days. See the winelands of Stellenbosch, the Karoo Desert and Ostrich farms. Spring is the best time to go and see the over six hundred different types of Proteas.

Go via Knysna, False Bay and Cape of Good Hope. See Worlds End, the southern most tip of Africa, where the Atlantic and Indian Ocean meet, before heading to Port Elizabeth.
