Cape Town, South Africa

You’ve landed in one of the most prominent cities at the moment. Cape Town, South Africa is a fast-developing foodie town with plenty of secrets to unravel.

Ask for one of their two outdoor gazebos overlooking the water. Reserve dinner at La Colombe, one of the world’s best restaurants totally worth a stop at. 

Day 2: Cape Peninsula and Table Mountain

One particular beach includes a few adorable guests. Boulders Beach is also known as a penguin sanctuary. Visitors can come here and meet the animals up close and within their own wild habitat. 

Table Mountain flanks the beautiful city of Cape Town. Consider a sunset hike up the mountain or take the cable carts up to see the views of the entire city. Finally, resort to dinner at Signal at Cape Grace or Reverie Social Table

Day 3: Vino
