Cape Town is South Africa’s oldest city and therefore fondly called our ‘Mother City’. Our city’s rich history embraces many different peoples and cultures from various parts of the world, which, over centuries, have blended into an interesting and diverse nation. To get a glimpse of this richness, a tour of the city and its historic buildings and gardens is highly recommended.
