Jewish Campus
Jewish Campus is collectively made up of Gardens Shul, Cape Town Holocaust Centre and the Jacob Gitlin Library. The Gardens Shul is regarded as the Mother Synagogue of South Africa and is a centre for community events and celebrations. The Cape Town Hebrew Congregation was founded in 1841 making it the oldest Congregation in South Africa and one of the oldest in the Southern hemisphere. For many non-Jews, the Jacob Gitlin Library is an important centre in which to learn about the Jewish people, Jewish history, aspirations and activities. The Library plays an important public relations role in the wider community.
Gardens Shul
The Cape Town Hebrew Congregation was founded in 1841 making it the oldest Congregation in South Africa and one of the oldest in the Southern hemisphere. It is regarded as the Mother Synagogue of South Africa and is a centre for community events and celebrations. The current Synagogue building, the ‘Great Synagogue’, is affectionately called the ‘Gardens Shul’ as it is situated within the Company Gardens just down Government Avenue and a short walk from Parliament. It is a historic landmark for both the Jewish and wider South African communities. The Synagogue building, visited by thousands of tourists annually, is an architectural masterpiece both inside and out and is widely regarded as one of the most magnificent Synagogues in the world.
Cape Town Holocaust Centre
The Cape Town Holocaust Centre, the first Holocaust Centre in Africa, opened in 1999. The permanent exhibition on the history of the Holocaust, combines text, archival photographs and film footage, documents, multimedia displays and recreated environments. The display also includes sections on the pseudo-science of ‘race’; the roots of anti-Semitism, and the institutionalised racism of Apartheid.
A photographic display and 20 minute documentary tells the story of the survivors of the Holocaust who made their home in Cape Town. The Centre offers education programmes to high school learners, educators and diverse adult groups. Programmes examine contemporary Human Rights issues, such as racism and prejudice, by examining the history of the Holocaust. Related to this is the connection that exists between Nazism and the racism of Apartheid.
Jewish Holocaust Museum
The South African Holocaust Centre and Jewish Museum offers a world-class interactive experience and also has a great display on the life of Nelson Mandela, who the Chief Rabbi described as being the “model of what a human being could be.” The Holocaust Museum Cape Town was established in 2007 by the Board of Trustees of the Cape Town Holocaust Centre, and features one of the most devastating events in human history. The subjugation, internment and execution of millions of Jews by the Nazi government during World War 2 are on full display at the museum. The Holocaust Museum Cape Town is one of three centres dedicated to this tragic event in human history located in South Africa. The museum provides support materials for classrooms as well as hosts national in-service training, seminars and adult programs which convey the devastating effects of the holocaust.
Company Gardens
The Company Gardens is a treed haven in the middle of the city and is surrounded by museums and fascinating buildings – St Georges Cathedral, the Salve Museum, The National Art Gallery and the Jewish Museum to mention a few.
South African Museum
At the South African Museum, you can see everything from dinosaurs to rock art and fossils to a stuffed quagga, the extinct zebra that once graced Table Mountain. These exhibitions document the evolution of animals and man in Africa. One of the highlights is the Whale Well where you can listen to whale sounds and see a life-size, 20-metre-long skeleton of the planet’s largest mammal; the Blue Whale. This is always a crowd-pleaser with the kids.
St Georges Cathedral
The head of the Anglican Church in South Africa also known as the Peoples Cathedral is an interesting place to visit to reflect on South Africa’s history, especially when visited in conjunction with the adjacent Groote Kerk.
Bo Kaap
The colourful suburb of Bo Kaap was exclusively for coloured Muslims during the Colonial and Apartheid times and today, this group still makes up the majority of residents. The quaint cobbled streets, the museum; the authentic purveyors of Cape cuisine and Cape Town’s oldest spice emporium are all worth a visit.
Table Mountain Cableway
A trip up Table Mountain is quite rightly one of the first things a tourist wants to do when arriving in Cape Town. Once on the top, a 1000m above the city below, you are rewarded with spectacular 360 views. Take your time and enjoy this unique environment, go for a walk or have a bit to eat at the restaurant with arguably one of the best views possible.

Cape Peninsula
Extending into the Atlantic, the rugged Cape Peninsula marks the south westernmost point of the African continent. It features pristine white-sand beaches met by craggy mountains interspersed with quaint little coastal towns. Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope can be found along the southern end of this spectacularly scenic peninsula, while the northern tip is crowned by the world-famous Table Mountain which towers over the city of Cape Town. Visitors can look forward to a wide selection of activities including: hopping on a boat ride to Seal Island from Hout Bay, exploring the magnificent Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, and viewing the colony of African penguins on Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town. Don’t miss the opportunity to take in the breathtaking views from the top of Table Mountain.
Nautical Charters Seal Island Boat Trip
Located in Cape Town, South Africa, Nautical Charters Seal Island Boat Trip offers visitors a lovely experience. Open to the public 365 days a year, Nautical Charters provides daily cruises to the seal colony situated just off the coast of Hout Bay. Here, visitors can enjoy spectacular views of the seals and other marine wildlife in their natural habitat. The boat features a full cash bar and glass viewing windows below deck. The Nautical is the largest of the ships that do this cruise, and it requires a minimum of 20 people to go out on a trip.
Chapman’s Peak
Chapman’s Peak Drive winds its way between Noordhoek and Hout Bay. Situated on the Atlantic Coast, at the south-western tip of South Africa, it is one of the most spectacular marine drives anywhere in the world. The 9km route, with its 114 curves, skirts the rocky coastline of Chapman’s Peak. The drive offers stunning 180° views with many areas along the route where you can stop and take in the scenery or sit down for a relaxing picnic.
Cape of Good Hope
Part of the Table Mountain National Park that extends from Signal Hill in the north all the way to Cape Point in the south, the Cape of Good Hope is not the southern tip of Africa, despite lying at the south-west corner of the Cape Peninsula, just a little south of Cape Point on the south-east corner.
Cape Agulhas, roughly 150 kilometres southeast of here, holds this title instead. The Cape of Good Hope, however, remains a significant headland in the sense that from here one travels more eastward than southward, and it is not hard to imagine that rounding of the cape in 1488 was a major achievement.
This said, the Cape of Good Hope is one of two world-renowned landmarks within the Table Mountain National Park, the other is Table Mountain. These two familiar attractions are what draws thousands of visitors to Cape Town, not a new attribute to the Cape of Good Hope that functioned as something of a beacon for sailors for years and is still widely referred to as ‘The Cape’ by sea farers. The Cape Peninsula, just a little south of Cape Point on the south-east corner.
Cape Point Funicular
The Flying Dutchman funicular takes visitors at Cape Point up to the lighthouse, where there is an outstanding view of the point and ocean. The funicular is named after a ghost ship whose destiny it is to sail the oceans forever. More information can be found at the museum.
Black Marlin
The Black Marlin is nestled unobtrusively on one of the most scenic coastlines in the Cape, en-route to Cape Point. During “whale season” patrons often enjoy their meal whilst watching whales in False Bay. It is the perfect setting for an idyllic luncheon or evening experience.
The Black Marlin offers an extensive menu with the main emphasis on seafood, complimented by other choices of fine contemporary cuisine. House specialities include Cape Rock lobster, Seafood platters, oysters and mussels. Through the many years of providing top quality fresh seafood and impeccable service to the locals and foreign tourists, this restaurant has become world-famous.
Boulders Beach
Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents and large waves – but please always take care. It is a rare pleasure to swim with the penguins but don’t touch or feed them. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose.

Hermanus Whale Walk
Hermanus offers some of the best shore-based whale watching in the world, with a seaside trail that runs for miles along the coastal cliffs. The land drops off sharply into a deep bay below where whales come to cruise of play, sometimes as little as 20 metres away from the shore. To ensure that visitors are kept in the know, a designated ‘whale crier’ patrols the trail, sounding his kelp horn when he spots these majestic ocean mammals.
Hermanus Boat Based Whale Watching
Between June and November each year, Southern Right whales, along with less common Bryde’s and Humpback whales, grace the Cape coast with their presence, coming to breed and nurse their young in sheltered bays. The popular holiday destination of Hermanus has long been famous for its shore-based whale watching but in recent years, the scope has widened to include boat-based viewing at several spots around Walker Bay. Visitors can now take boat trips from Hermanus, as well as Gansbaai and Kleinbaai.
