Why Cape Town? Insider Tips About This Gem Of All African Destinations
2008-03-26 23:30:00 By Alison Beere Cape Town, South Africa is increasingly renowned as a world class tourism destination and with good reason. Poised between mountains and ocean, it is breathtakingly scenic. Unique natural splendor abounds, yet first-class urban facilities are within easy reach. So, is it the place for YOUR South African vacation? What this City is NOT Cape Town is not a rustic African experience. This is a cosmopolitan city which is home to more than 4 million people. You may see shanty towns but there are no mud huts. If you are interested in rural African culture, you may be disappointed. Cape Town is not a package tour destination. There are many hotels but few resorts where you pay up front and find everything included except the odd drink. This is a city of diverse attractions which in turn attracts a widely-differing cross-section of visitors from around the globe. Cape Town weather does not offer days and days of relentless, unchanging sunshine. The city is on a peninsula an...
