Discover the ultimate Cape Town birding experience with guided visits to two of the region’s premier birding destinations: Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden and False Bay Nature Reserve.
Kirstenbosch, widely regarded as one of the finest botanical gardens in the world, offers exceptional birding in a breathtaking natural setting along the eastern slopes of Table Mountain. Here, birders can expect sought-after species such as Cape Sugarbird, Orange-breasted Sunbird, Forest Canary, African Paradise Flycatcher, and Sombre Greenbul.
In contrast, False Bay Nature Reserve has earned a reputation among local and visiting birders for its remarkable diversity and an impressive list of regional and national rarities in recent years. Key species regularly recorded include African Marsh Harrier, Great White Pelican, Southern Pochard, Maccoa Duck, Blue-billed Teal, Black-necked Grebe, and both Greater and Lesser Flamingos.
This guided experience is priced at R1800.00 per person, with small groups limited to a maximum of 7 participants to ensure a personalized and rewarding outing.

Cape Town’s winter (June to August) is often called the city’s “secret season.” With mild temperatures ranging from 10°C to 20°C, the Mother City transforms into a lush green paradise as seasonal rains revive the landscapes, fill the dams, and create spectacular waterfalls. The quieter months also mean fewer crowds at major attractions, allowing visitors to experience the city at a more relaxed pace.
Winter is an ideal time to enjoy Cape Town’s renowned food and wine scene, with cozy vineyard tastings, crackling fireplaces, and excellent seasonal dining specials offering great value. Along the coastline, it is also whale season, with southern right whales frequently spotted from shore in places such as Hermanus, False Bay, and Gansbaai. Combined with dramatic skies, uncrowded attractions, and breathtaking scenery, winter offers a unique and rewarding way to experience Cape Town.

The Da Gama Cross is a historical navigational beacon located in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. It was erected by the Portuguese government in 1951 to commemorate Vasco da Gama’s pioneering 1497 voyage around the southern tip of Africa.
When aligned with the nearby Diaz Cross, the two monuments point towards Whittle Rock, a submerged shipping hazard in False Bay.
Following in the path of earlier explorer Bartolomeu Dias, Vasco da Gama became the first European to sail directly from Europe to India, opening a historic sea route between Europe and the East.

Newborn Chacma baboons quickly become the centre of attention within the troop.
A female carrying a newborn often receives a temporary boost in social status, as other females — and even adult males — approach to admire, inspect, and gently interact with the infant.
During the first few weeks, the baby clings tightly to its mother’s belly. By around two months old, it begins riding on her back. Although young baboons are usually weaned at about six months, they remain highly dependent on their mothers for protection, social learning, and foraging skills for up to two years.

The Cape Mountain Zebra is a rare and remarkable sight — a true conservation success story of South Africa. Found only in the rugged mountain regions of the Western and Eastern Cape, this vulnerable subspecies is smaller and more finely striped than the more common plains zebra. Its narrow black-and-white stripes extend all the way down to the hooves, while the belly remains pure white and unstriped. A distinctive “gridiron” pattern across the rump, long ears with black inner edges, and a characteristic dewlap beneath the throat make it easy to identify.
Once hunted to near extinction, with fewer than 100 individuals surviving in the 1930s, dedicated conservation efforts — especially through the establishment of the Mountain Zebra National Park — have helped the population recover significantly. Today, the Cape Mountain Zebra stands as one of South Africa’s great wildlife conservation achievements.
These photographs capture this beautiful animal perfectly in its natural fynbos habitat beneath dramatic Cape skies in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve.

Seeing the always-beautiful floral display at the entrance of the One&Only Cape Town reminds me of the world-renowned RHS Chelsea Flower Show in London, set along the banks of the River Thames. Widely regarded as the world’s most famous flower show, it continues to inspire, educate, and captivate visitors through extraordinary horticultural displays and garden design.
South Africa once again made the country proud this year, earning a coveted Gold Medal as well as the prestigious “Best on Show” award for the finest exhibit in the Great Pavilion — a remarkable achievement showcasing the creativity, biodiversity, and floral excellence for which South Africa is internationally celebrated.

The Sanlam Cape Town Marathon is on the brink of making history as an official candidate to become the seventh Abbott World Marathon Major, and Africa’s first-ever Major. Now in its final evaluation stages, a successful bid would see Cape Town join the prestigious ranks of Tokyo, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago, and New York.
Adding to the excitement, legendary marathoner Eliud Kipchoge made headlines as a special entrant for the 2026 Cape Town Marathon, marking the beginning of an exceptional elite men’s and women’s field.
The event welcomed 27,000 marathon runners, alongside 17,500 participants across the 10km, 5km, and trail runs, bringing the total to an incredible 44,500 entrants.
