Cape Town & the Western Cape, South Africa

1 itinerary · 0 open departures · 0 missions

Cape Town is South Africa's legislative capital and one of Africa's most visited cities, dramatically set between the Atlantic Ocean and the iconic flat-topped Table Mountain. The broader Western Cape region stretches from the rugged Cederberg mountains to the fertile Winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, and east along the scenic Garden Route. Travellers come for a remarkable mix of experiences: world-class hiking, surfing, and white shark cage diving, alongside vibrant food and wine culture, rich Cape Malay heritage, and wildlife encounters. The region's combination of natural beauty, outdoor adventure, and cosmopolitan city life makes it one of the Southern Hemisphere's most compelling destinations.

Self-Launched: Cycling the Cape & Winelands (12 Days)

A DIY version of Exodus's 12-day guided cycle through the Cape and Winelands. You'll ride 9 days of paved passes, semi-desert Karoo, whale coast and the Chapman's Peak finale, but independently: hire a mountain bike or hybrid in Cape Town, use intercity buses and shared shuttles for the long transfers, stay in hostels and guesthouses, and book wine tastings, whale watching and Cape Point entry online. Total ~£1,150–1,300 per person excluding flights, versus roughly £3,600 for the guided tour. Note: this is a moderate-to-hard ride (up to 90 km days, strong headwinds) — realistically you'd want your own support or travel with 1–2 mates carrying panniers, or use local bike-taxi/backup shuttle services.

Missions

Nobody's posted a Mission for Cape Town & the Western Cape, South Africa yet — which, frankly, is an opportunity.

Wait, what's a Mission?It's not a scheduled trip with dates and a minimum group size like a Departure — it's a goal. Learn to dive, do a Muay Thai camp, live somewhere for a month and work on something, chase one very specific experience. Post it, and other people chasing the same thing find you.

Be the first to post one: "Learn the first 20 seconds of a local dance, then perform it, uninvited, at every bar you visit."
