A Romantic Honeymoon to South Africa

If you feel like stretching your legs, a hike up Lion’s Head is the perfect way to experience Cape Town from a different angle. Lace up your hiking books and follow the trail as it loops from Kloof Nek up to the top of Lion’s Head. This is an easy to moderate hike that rewards you with spectacular views out over Cape Town’s City Bowl and the Atlantic. On a clear day you can even see Robben Island in the distance. This hiking experience will be made extra special for you with champagne and canapes enjoyed on Signal Hill.

This tour is the perfect way to explore the majestic coastline that early seafarers once called the Cape of Storms. Follow the winding coastal road along the slopes of the towering Twelve Apostles mountains with breathtaking views of the sheltered coves and ocean below you. You’ll pass through the historic fishing village of Hout Bay before making your way over Chapman’s Peak towards Cape Point Nature Reserve. Here you’ll head out to the lighthouse which overlooks the southwestern most point of Africa. Not only is the marine life in the colliding currents below you rich and varied, but the reserve is full of incredible flora and fauna as well.

On this half day tour you’ll get to see some of Cape Town’s best highlights. Start with a drive to the Castle of Good Hope, the oldest building in South Africa, and take in the Grand Parade where Nelson Mandela addressed the nation when he was released from prison in 1990. From there, take a stroll through the Company’s Garden which was once the fresh produce garden for passing ships in the 17th Century.  Just a short distance away you’ll find yourself in the bustling Greenmarket Square where you can browse for curios at the various stalls. Your next stop will be the District Six Museum where you can spend time looking at a collection of pictures and memorabilia highlighting the colourful life of the now-demolished suburb. Either in the morning or afternoon, you’ll take a trip up to the top of Table Mountain on the aerial cableway.
