Cape Town, nestled at the foothills of Table Mountain
The imposing presence of the Table Mountain is the most dramatic feature of Cape Town, also affectionately called the "mother city" by its inhabitants. The historical working harbor at the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront evokes the era of early days with its shopping areas, flea markets and restaurants.
There is plenty to do: take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain at sunset, a boat trip to Robben Island where former President Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for much of his life, visit the botanical gardens of Kirstenbosch or the Cape Point. Use the city as a base for exploring the Stellenbosch Wine Route - South Africa’s oldest with 22 private cellars and cooperative wineries within an hour’s drive. This flexible Ivory program allows you a wide choice of accommodation, car hire and number of days stay at the Cape.
