February happens to be one of the best months to visit Cape Town, especially for northern hemisphere travellers escaping the winter drab. While rain has settled in across much of the north, Cape town is as dry as a local Chardonnay, infused with a festive cheer as temps average at 26 °C.
With sun and breeze at your back, you’ll find yourself a match for all of the adventure this place has to offer. Climb up into Table Mountain National Park, the backdrop for all things Cape Town. From there venture off into nature reserves, beaches, and all the way into the depths of the Karoo desert and even Kruger National Park.
Fondly named the Mother City, the cape is an eclectic mix of cultures where everyone has left their fingerprints. As the nickname implies, allow Cape Town to walk you through all the lessons she has to share with the world. Dive into the city’s art galleries, museums, and jazz lounges. Take a deeper look into history at sites such as Robben Island, Cape of Good Hope Castle, the Parliament buildings, and several family-owned wineries.
