Cape Town Cape Town

Cape Town is a city in South Africa. It ranks third among the most populous urban areas in South Africa, after Johannesburg and Durban, and has roughly the same population as the Durban Metropolitan Area. It is also the provincial capital and primate city of the Western Cape. It is the southernmost city on the African continent.

Located on the shore of Table Bay, Cape Town was first developed by the Dutch East India Company as a victualling station for Dutch ships sailing to East Africa, India, and the Far East. Jan van Riebeeck's arrival on 6 April 1652 established the first permanent European settlement in South Africa. Cape Town quickly outgrew its original purpose as the first European outpost at the Castle of Good Hope, becoming the economic and cultural hub of the Cape Colony. Until the Witwatersrand Gold Rush and the development of Johannesburg, Cape Town was the largest city in South Africa

It’s the best way to see Cape Town and your date will feel like a movie star. Soar over the majestic mountain ranges of the Cape Peninsula, across the glistening oceans, as you take in the bird’s eye view of the Mother City. Cape Town has plenty of operators such as Cape Town Helicopter Tours, Nac Makana Helicopters, Wings over Africa and Cape Town Helicopters, all of whom offer a range of trips to suit your needs.

Table Mountain is iconic. And a trip up the cable way to watch the sun set over the Mother City is uber romantic. Once at the top crack open some bubbly as you and your date take in the views of the most beautiful city in the world. The sun sets at around 8pm this time of year, so you will have some time to soak in the vibes, before popping the cork (or question) as the city slowly descends into darkness.
