With Atlantic and Indian Oceans at its borders, Western Cape immerses its visitors in breathtaking coastal scenery, endless outdoor opportunities, and good food. Here, you will find one of the country’s capital cities, Cape Town, which used to be home to the iconic Nelson Mandela. The city is also a paradise for sunseekers and home to ethereal beaches, such as Clifton Beaches, Camps Bay, and Beta Beach. Meanwhile, Boulders Beach will afford you the magical experience of admiring a penguin colony in a sandy cove. A visit to the province will not be complete without indulging in Victoria & Alfred Waterfront’s temptations, from world-class scenery to gastronomy options. For accommodation, do you like rustic retreats with the comfort of home and spa-like amenities? To help you decide, browse through this list of the top cabins with hot tub in Western Cape, South Africa.
Event to look forward to in Western Cape:
- Hermanus Whale Festival - At the end of each September, southern right whales return to enjoy the waters of Hermanus. The town celebrates their visit with a street parade, live music, plenty of food, and more over three days. It also aims to raise awareness about the protection of whales and other marine life. This event definitely seems to me like a must-see occasion, and I would love to witness it if I were in the area.
