Explore Cape Town via its inspirational people, flavours, and experiences. Taking in the stories, the aromas, the local dishes, and the vibe of this eclectic cosmopolitan city. This Urban Safari Tour strives to highlight the City Bowl in the most fun, adventurous and engaging way possible, for those wishing to experience Cape Town from a new perspective.
Our morning begins early as we make our way up to the top of the Iconic Table Mountain which overlooks the dynamic city of Cape Town.
Your ascending cable car reveals increasingly breath-taking 360-degree views over the city and an endless sea until you stand atop iconic Table Mountain. While our guide brings alive the history of Cape Town on top of Table Mountain, we will take a short hike away from the crowds while keeping a lookout for Dassies and the diverse local Fynbos found here. Fresh coffee and home-baked treats revive the body before we head back down to sea level.
We will head off to the colourful Bo Kaap, walking along the cobble-stoned streets to experience a lively suburb filled with brightly coloured houses from as early as the seventeenth century, Muslim saint shrines, and many beautiful Mosques. Stop off along the way at the local boutique stores, buzzing with the trendy artisan movement that has taken the city by storm, and meet the fascinating people behind the culture of eco-friendly, handcrafted, "local is Lekker" movement.
For lunch, we head into the home of a local Cape Malay family within the Bo-Kaap. Here you will take part in an interactive private cooking lesson where we will learn the craft of creating the perfect traditional Cape Malay feast.
Continue your day as a true local, by making your way to the bustling Sea Point Promenade. Explore the 11 art installations that tackle subjects ranging from Rhino conservation to the 18 years Nelson Mandela spent on Robben Island. Next, we explore the Watershed’s quirky craft, design, and township art projects, geared toward community upliftment.
End the day by rewarding your taste buds with a refreshing drink at a local hangout in the city!
