Head to the foot of one of the seven natural wonders of the world: Table Mountain. Hikers enjoy this natural wonder all year round. The Platteklip Gorge hike is intermediate level and offers breathtaking views over Cape Town Bay and its beautiful scenery.

Arriving at the top of the mountain, 1000m above sea level, an abseiling descent awaits you on the cliff side. Hold on tight for this 112m controlled descent overlooking one of the finest views in Cape Town.

Early departure for Cape Point ostrich farm. This is a unique experience for visitors to the Western Cape.

The ranch offers tours with high-quality information, speciality shops and an ostrich meat restaurant. For the more adventurous, there's the option of an ostrich ride.

Head to Oudtshoorn, the "ostrich capital of the world", for a visit like no other. Start with a cultural tour of the cave and then descend deeper into the cave. At this point, the visit becomes progressively more difficult, with 2,000 steps and very narrow spaces to squeeze through.

We're off to Hout Bay. This small fishing village will be the starting point for your cruise to Duiker Island, where you can immerse yourself in the world of seals.

Depending on the season, this day could be transformed into a cruise aboard a catamaran to observe these impressive marine mammals up close. They approach the South African coast to give birth and the experience of seeing them up close is truly incredible.

In the late afternoon, you can join Cliff Path, one of the town's must-see trails, for a 12km walk. Walk along the coastline and enjoy this moment of freedom.

Climate and equipment

In Cape Town, the average temperature ranges from 12°C in July to 21°C in January and February. Summer temperatures are not too high, due to the influence of the ocean, although sometimes a hot, dry wind, the Berg, which can raise the temperature to around 35 degrees, can blow down from the mountains. On the contrary, often in summer the Cape Doctor, a strong southerly breeze that refreshes and purifies the air from pollution, blows in from the sea. Above Table Mountain, the flat mountain about a thousand metres high that lies close to the city, a layer of cloud, known colloquially to the locals as "the slick", often forms.
In Cape Town, the sunshine is very good in summer, when the sky is often clear, but it is also good in winter: in June and July there are 6 hours of sunshine a day. The best time is from December to February, when the sun shines and the breeze blows.
