Cape Town is the ideal start or end to a safari in southern Africa's prime safari spots - Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls, Hwange and lower Zambezi parks; Zambia's prime access to Victoria Falls plus the Luangwa and Kafue wildlife parks; Botswana's Okavango, Chobe, Savute and Moremi.Cape Town is already one of the top 10 tourist destinations cities in the world. Like most tourist areas, the Cape Town region attracts most of its tourists during "peak" times - between September and March, which is South Africa's summer. But Cape Town has a Mediterranean climate which is temperate for most of the year. Most international tourists wouldn't know the Cape's best secret - Cape Town is frequently at its best in the traditionally low season from April to October! This coincides with our prime safari seasons in Southern Africa. |

Cape Town's Secret Season |
| Cape
Town does experience winter rain, but it is mostly at night, and daily
temperatures are not - certainly by European and North American standards
- cold at all. Daily temperatures generally average above 16 degrees
Celsius. The Cape is at its greenest, lushest and most beautiful between
April and October. Ask any Capetonian and they will tell you that this
period is indeed the Cape's best-kept secret.
Cape Metropolitan Tourism recently launched a new campaign - aptly named "The Secret Season". An integral part of the Secret Season Campaign has been the identification and promotion of specific tourism routes, all of which are in easy reach of the centre of Cape Town. The Cape has a wealth of history, beauty and culture to boast, and these routes reflect that diversity. The routes that make up the Secret Season Campaign include a Whale Route, a Floral Kingdom Route, an Adventure Route, a Wine, Beer and Cheese Route, a Ghosts Route plus a Shipwreck and Lighthouse Route. |

Cape Town...the ideal start or end to a safari... |
| To
celebrate the Centenary of the Anglo-Boer War, Cape Metropolitan Tourism
has also researched and identified sites relevant to the War in a new
Route Guide. Each Guide comes with an easy-to-read map, which means that
whether tourists are driving or walking themselves, or prefer to take a
taxi, they are easily able to follow the routes they choose throughout the
Cape Metropolitan Area - all accessible within 45 minutes of the city of Cape
Town.
If you live in the Northern Hemisphere and feel the need to get away from the bustle of your high tourist season, May to September would be an excellent time to visit Cape Town, which at this time of year is quiet, beautiful, temperate and unpolluted. Cape Town is the ideal start or end to a safari in southern Africa's prime safari spots - Zimbabwe's Victoria Falls, Hwange and lower Zambezi parks; Zambia's prime access to Victoria Falls plus the Luangwa and Kafue wildlife parks; Botswana's Okavango, Chobe, Savute and Moremi....go to our "safari primer"...Find out about international flights
