Another very popular day tour is to the Cape Winelands, situated among majestic mountain ranges. This tour offers the opportunity of visits to the historic towns of Paarl, Franschoek and Stellenbosch, as well as visits to one or two wine estates for wine tasting.
In season, the coast around Cape Town is visited by a variety of whales. They give birth to their young and suckle them before they return to the Antarctic. Whale watching is a very popular tourist pastime. White shark viewing is also fast gaining in popularity.
The Western Cape includes the popular Garden Route dotted with scenic coastal villages and towns, forests, and the ever popular Ostrich Capital, Oudtshoorn.
