Sitting at the southern tip of Africa, Cape Town is South Africa’s second-biggest city, and one of the biggest tourist destinations on the continent.
Cape Town sits on the southwest coast of South Africa and despite being nowhere near the Mediterranean, it has a Mediterranean climate of hot, dry summers and mild to cold, wet winters. The city can also get quite windy, and while being pelted with rain, it’s not uncommon for the wind to destroy people’s umbrellas! The period of June to August is when the city receives most of its rain.Â
The central business district sits at the northern end of the Cape Peninsula which stretches south to the Cape of Good Hope (originally named the Cape of Storms). The CBD also rests in an area called the City Bowl which is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the north, and mountains to the south and west.Â
The hottest months are from December to March with January generally being the hottest. The daily maximum is usually in the upper seventies and low eighties for those who use Fahrenheit and the upper thirties for those who use Celsius.
Reserve your ideal trip early for a hassle-free trip; secure comfort and convenience!
