HOTELS

Cape Town and the Western Cape is a popular global holiday destination, offering outstanding accommodation options to all travel profiles. Cape Town offers a wide variety of accommodation options and has approximate 20 000 formal 3, 4 and 5-star hotel rooms. Most of these hotels are located within the City Bowl, Waterfront and Atlantic Seaboard areas, all near the Cape Town International Convention Centre. There are also many deluxe boutique hotels, serviced apartments and B&Bs in the area

TOURS

South Africa is a “world in one country” and offers a rich diversity – beautiful cosmopolitan cities, a pristine coastline, fertile winelands and outstanding game viewing. As a long-haul destination for most international delegates, it makes sense to combine a trip to South Africa with a visit to one or more of the magnificent destinations that are on offer – the elegance and historicity of the Cape winelands to the cross-country romance of steam-train travel and the wilderness of safari – to the bushland adventures beyond South Africa’s borders, the options are many and varied.

AIRPORT TRANSFERS

Upon arrival at the airport, you will collect your bags from the baggage carousel (if arriving from an international flight you will clear Customs & Immigration before collecting your bags), and then proceed to the Arrivals Hall. As you exit the Hall you will be met and assisted by a professionally presented driver who will have signage bearing your name. The driver will then accompany you to the vehicle for transfer to your hotel.
