Climate

In general, the Western Cape experience a typically Mediterranean-style climate, with warm, dry summers and mild winters. Spring (August to mid-October) is a wonderful time to visit, when giant carpets of wild flowers cloak the semi-arid plains and mountainsides. Summer sees months of glorious, rain-free sunshine from mid-October to mid-February. Autumn (mid-February to April) brings wonderful shades of ochres and reds sweeping across the landscapes, whilst the winter months (May to July) offer snow-capped peaks, log-burning fires and outbursts of rain. The best time to visit for whale-watching is between June and December.

Wildlife

A trip to the Western Cape offers a wonderful chance to see penguins and whales in their natural habitat. The best spot for watching is Boulders Beach, near Simon’s Town, where African penguins waddle between granite boulders and across white sands. For whale-watching boat tours and land-based observation, head to Hermanus in Walker Bay, a protected area and natural retreat for Southern Right Whales when they calf their young. The Cederberg Mountains also attract lovers of wildlife, with the chance to glimpse Mountain zebras, dainty antelope and birds of prey scanning the ground for lunch.

Wildlife
Adventure

For surfing, diving, boating, golfing, kayaking, walking, horse riding, birding and whale-watching, Walker Bay ticks every box. Another top pick for outdoorsy types are the striking Cederberg Mountains, spectacularly carved by wind. Join an organised tour and spot the Maltese Cross, the Wolfberg Arch and ancient San Rock paintings, hidden amid wonderful rock formations. Such engravings are found across South Africa and are thought to be the workings of indigenous tribes. Climb upwards for panoramic views, swim in crystalline rock pools, tour local tea farms, before stopping for a refreshing interlude at the country’s finest wine estate.

Adventure
Local Sightseeing

Don’t miss the scenic drive to the tip of the Cape Peninsula for a snapshot of the Cape of Good Hope. Explore the region’s picturesque coastal towns, such as Hermanus, boasting wonky-walled fishermen’s cottages, interesting museums, swish galleries, craft markets and smart seafood restaurants. Make note of the Hermanus Wine & Food Fair in August – one of South Africa’s best.
