Cape Town is called the "Mother City" - "Mother of African cities", because it is from here that the colonial history of South Africa begins. Here you will learn interesting facts about the policy of apartheid and get acquainted with the multinational South Africa. You will drive through the historical center of the city, the famous Aderley Street with its numerous monuments, see the ancient fortress, the first building built by Europeans in southern Africa.

The mountain offers a stunning view that will remain in your memory for a lifetime.

The grape region is literally a forty-minute drive from Cape Town. The famous "Wine Route" usually begins with the city of Stellenbosch, the closest to the capital and the second oldest after Cape Town. The "City of Oaks", as it is also called, is comfortably located among a picturesque valley, surrounded by mountains and lush green vineyards. The city is designed in an absolutely amazing Cape Dutch style, white buildings of one or two floors, often with a thatched roof, fit perfectly into the local landscape and create a very cozy atmosphere. You will want to wander the streets and plunge into the era of the 19th, early 20th century. You will come across many souvenir and antique shops on your way, be sure to have a cup of coffee in one of the many cafes located right on the street. In Stellenbosch you will meet large groups of young people sitting in cafes and just crossing the street, these are students, because Stellenbosch is home to the famous University, where classes are conducted in both English and Afrikaans.
