Cape Overberg , Western Cape
Your World in One Province
Delight in a whole world of experiences in the extraordinary regions of Cape Town and the Western Cape in South Africa

Cape Town Often compared to the French Riviera , the Mother City comes with a Mediterranean climate , long , white beaches , cocktail bars and world-class restaurants . Cape Town ticks all the boxes – a melting pot of cultures , superb lifestyle activities , creativity and adventure , all making this an enduringly popular destination choice . It ’ s considered the jewel in South Africa ’ s crown for a reason .

Cape Overberg This stunning region offers a lush green landscape dominated by gentle , undulating hills against the backdrop of a forbidding mountain . Cape Overberg is a favorite for the traveler seeking outdoor pursuits . It boasts great diversity : from the coast ’ s abundant marine life to the beautiful Elgin Valley and its wine regions – the area is a gem .

Cape West Coast
The Cape West Coast ( Weskus ) is a place so jaw-droppingly beautiful , you would need weeks to take it all in . Famous for its beautiful beaches and seaside towns , it has become a popular spot for those looking to escape the city . An abundance of seafood also makes the area a mecca for food-lovers . But the Weskus is not just about the coast ! The aptly named town of Darling is visited for its wildflowers and wines , while the Cederberg Mountains feature ancient rock art and some of the best hiking , biking and bouldering globally .

Garden Route and Klein Karoo Heard of Route 66 ? Travelers heading to South Africa should rather give Route 62 a go . Thousands of families embark down this magnificent stretch every year , visiting towns , farms , wineries and nature reserves en route . From majestic mountains to vibrant oceans and forested areas , the region is a natural wonderland . While adrenaline junkies will find plenty of adventures , those wanting to take things slower can enjoy one of the many famous golf courses . For water lovers , the coastline and waterfalls are incredible , too .

Cape Winelands
Overflowing with award-winning vintages and home to world-class vineyards , Cape Winelands ’ story is intrinsically tied to the vine . And while wine put this region on the map , its bottles are perfectly paired with excellent local restaurants . Add craft beer and whisky to the menu , too , as the area is quickly becoming a leader in both beverages .

Cape Karoo
Wide-open space – the Cape Karoo is where you go when you need to escape the pace of city life . Kind of like Nevada , but without the visas and hassle , it is a place of incredible beauty , wild game , magical sunsets and clear night-skies . Apart from the many nature reserves and game reserves , visit Matjiesfontein , a tiny 19th Century town , seemingly untouched by time . For the food enthusiasts , be sure to stop in Prince Albert , a town with a burgeoning foodie culture , and serious artistic flair .
