Outdoor Experiences Galore for All in Cape Town
Whether you prefer a more laid-back, leisurely, and somewhat sedentary lifestyle or you’re an outdoor, adventurous soul, perhaps an extreme sports junkie, on the go every waking minute of every day, the great outdoors and everything it has to offer in Cape Town is sure to attract you. Simply put, iconic Cape Town has plenty of sensational outdoor experiences to offer all personality types, ages, fitness levels, and personal preferences.
The general Cape Town area provides visits to the seaside with white sandy beaches in numerous locations, magnificent mountains, and majestic Table Mountain. There are valleys galore and quaint, charming Cape villages, not to mention traditional Cape fishing villages with their whitewashed thick walls and thatched roofs – home of much of the Cape’s delicious, freshly-caught seafood, best enjoyed al fresco.
