7 Unmissable Things to do in Cape Town

Sharing is caring!

When it comes to learning English abroad, it’s tough to find a place as magical as Cape Town, South Africa! Our English school in Cape Town is located right in the heart of the Mother City, just a couple of streets away from famous, bustling Long Street, set against the background of majestic Table Mountain. To make the most of your time studying abroad, take a look at these 7 things to see and do in Cape Town!

1 | Table Mountain

Known the world over as Cape Town’s most iconic sight, Table Mountain watches over the city with awe-inspiring beauty. One of the best ways to experience this incredible sight is to travel up to the top of the mountain by cable car, 1,089 metres above Cape Town, and spend your time exploring the summit before grabbing a bite to eat or joining a free guided tour.

2 | Safari

Love animals? Then you simply must get a (slightly) closer look at the beautiful, varied wildlife that calls Africa “home” by joining a safari. You’ve seen these incredible creatures on TV or in the cinema, but nothing can prepare you for the unforgettable experience of seeing them in real life!

There are few experiences in life as special and humbling as whale watching. Head out on a licensed whale watching rip, and get up close and personal with Southern Right, Humpback, and Bryde’s whales! Oblogh, and don’t forget your camera…
