Will and Lynda

Fantastic holiday that went like clockwork

Michael

Our itinerary was perfectly planned. We stayed in some very classy places - always mysteriously in the best rooms - and at prices that we wouldn't have believed possible. [..] Great just to arrive and hand in our voucher. One guest house (such a name doesn't do it justice) owner greeted us with "oh you're with Mike - he's the only one of the agents who does it properly!"If we go again, and I hope we will, it will be with Cape Tours.

Peter Snowdon

You got it absolutely right, everything was just perfect!

Jane

Your advice and personal knowledge was invaluable - I will definately use Cape Tours again without hesitation

Fish River Canyon

fish-river-canyon

Southern Namibia is home to the world’s second largest canyon, the Fish River Canyon. Here the rocky landscape drops vertically by 550m, out of a flat plateau, creating a dramatic landscape of towering cliffs and colourful rock stratas. The Fish River Canyon meanders between boulders at the bottom of the canyon for approx. 160km. The canyon starts near Seeheim and ends at Ai-Aisand.

The Fish River Canyon probably formed about 500 million years ago during the pluvial times - a rainy climatic epoch - many millions of years ago. However, the gorge was not only created by water erosion, but also through the collapse of the valley bottom due to movements in the earth's crust.

In winter, during the dry season, the river bed is often completely dry or reduced to just some pools here and there. However, after rainfalls in summer the river can become a raging torrent.

The Fish River Canyon is the venue for one of Africa’s toughest hikes, but mostly it is visited for spectacular scenery – it is one of the most impressive natural sites in Africa

The Winelands offer breathtaking scenery, historic homesteads on wine estates, superb restaurants and of course, copious quantities of fabulous wines. Like the wine it’s a region best savoured rather than visited for a day from Cape Town (time permitting). Allow yourself time not only for the food and wine but also for the landscape itself. There are dramatic mountains such as Simonsberg and the Helderberg, which dominate the surrounding area. These mountain ranges make for great walking and birding and there are plenty of well-mapped footpaths available for exploring. Alternatively, make the most of the views by driving to the top of the Franschhoek, Helshoogte or Bainskloof passes

Historical glorious Stellenbosch; Sidewalk cafes, oak lined streets and elegant architecture are all perfectly blended in the old university town. With its Cape Dutch architecture, it is the warm and wonderful heart of the Cape Winelands, and is surrounded by stunning wine estates; and you’ll love exploring the fine art galleries, the architecture, the history, and the curious and quaint shops

Franschhoek was originally known as ‘Olifants Hoek’, after elephants took to calving in the sheltered valley. Between 1688 and 1690 land was apportioned to 200 Huguenots fleeing persecution in France. Finding the climate similar to that of France, the settlers planted vines. Today, 20 members of the Vignerons produce wines consumed throughout the world.

Nestled below the landmark Paarl (Dutch for Pearl) rock, this is the home to the world famous KWV and Nederburg wine labels. Paarl boasts the Afrikaans Language Monument, with its striking design and the stunning vistas, it is the only monument to a language in the world.
