The best of both worlds in South Africa

Time seems to stand still at the top of Table Mountain, an illusion suspended only by joyful birdsong, wisps of cloud, and the sun’s rays sweeping across the rugged peak. Families, arm in arm, gaze out, smiles as wide as the panorama before them, marvelling at the majesty of Cape Town below. Described by Sir Francis Drake as ‘the fairest cape in all the world’, this dynamic, beachside city has so much to offer – and, thankfully, no jet lag.

Take five days to explore together, with more than enough pastimes to please the whole clan. Venture along the Sea Point Promenade on cruiser bikes that delight big kids as much as small ones, before setting off on garden treasure hunts and – an absolute joy – penguin spotting. Rest weary heads at the luxuriously cosmopolitan One&Only Cape Town, where downtime can be spent in the Kids’ Club or spa before family-friendly waterfront sundowners. Home to Reuben Riffel’s first urban restaurant, guests can experience local flavour at Reuben’s – South Africa’s favourite chef is sure to tantalise your taste buds.
