- Visit Cape Town: At its best after the World Cup
- June 11, 2010 | 0 Responses
Cape Town has got it all – stunning scenery, culture and one of the world’s most iconic mountains slap-bang in the centre.With the World Cup kicking off at the moment, all eyes are on South Africa’s cities. However, travel experts are highlighting the benefits of the world cup to the country and its infrastructure, whilst recommending that tourists visit after the world cup, when prices have fallen back to normal.
The best time to Visit South Africa is during the southern hemisphere’s spring in October or November as you’ll get much better weather. Furthermore, the country will have benefitted from the investment of the World Cup which means spruced up airports, freshly paved roads and an abundance of hotels and restaurants to choose from.
Cape Town promises plenty of great wildlife-spotting opportunities from the penguins at Boulders to the antelopes, buffaloes and black rhinos at Solole Game Reserve. There’s a lively cultural scene, cosmopolitan bars and restaurants and plenty of outdoors activities for an adrenaline rush.
You can help but notice the country’s scars laid bare as the townships and social deprivation is still prevalent. That being said, Cape Town still has many advantages that few cities on the African continent do. Historic buildings are still standing and business is booming, throw in omnipotent mountains, amazing surf beaches and outstanding vinyards and you will be hard pressed to find a city to beat it.
