The Happy Hippo Wine Tour

How to choose a wine farm out of literally the hundreds on offer? You have to choose, and after many painstaking days of research drinking wine and lazy lunches, I've come up with a plan that should suit every taste... Read more

The stunning Cape Peninsula route allows us to hit a number of the MUST SEE attractions around Cape Town.

Finally, we head over Constantia Nek to end our afternoon with a magnificent view of Hout Bay harbour from Chapmans Peak before a picturesque drive back to Cape Town via Camps Bay. Drop off at your hotel or the Table Mountain Cable Way, so that you can end your day with a cappuccino and a Cape Town sunset in grand style… Read more

Lions Head Hike

The hike to the top is just over an hour...but then you have Camps Bay, the city bowl and Table Mountain views all round. Absorb the views over a cold drink, take some photo's and then it's back down.


Klipwerf Dance Action

Call it winsurfing. Call it sokkie. Call it langarm. Afrikaners love to dance, and our own brand of pairing up and shaking it up is in full swing at the Klipwerf dance hall in the suburb of Brackenfell. Warning: We go across the Boereworsgordyn for this one… cheap drinks and a good vibe will make for an unforgettable evening.

Kirstenbosch Summer Concerts - Every Sunday

Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts are a fantastic way to spend a Sunday sunset in Cape Town. The open-air amphitheatre concerts cater for all music tastes, from jazz, folk, rock to big band Swing and are a delightful way to enjoy the surroundings and unwind.

Held in the breathtaking setting of the botanical gardens, the concerts offer a unique experience. Join us every Sunday between 5:30pm and 6:30pm from 23 November 2008 to 5 April 2009 for this series of Kirstenbosch Summer Sunset Concerts.

Part of the charm lies in the warm, friendly and relaxed atmosphere, with music-lovers picnicking on the soft grass banks that slope downward towards the stage.

Bring your friends and family and slip blissfully into another week listening to music on the Kirstenbosch lawns with a bottle of Cape wine and a delicious picnic.

The concerts are very popular so we suggest you get there early to pick the best spot and take in the beautiful world-famous surroundings.
