Cape Town

Cape Town, at the southern-most tip of South Africa, serves as a historic passageway and a city rich in history.

Located at the southern tip of the African continent, it first became known as a resupply station for the Dutch East India Company.

Now, it's a thriving metropolitan city, the second largest in South Africa and one of the largest on the continent.
