The Mother City - YOURS TO EXPLORE
Cape Town, as famously beautiful as it is culturally diverse, will be your home for the duration. It’s the innovation capital of Africa (in fact, your base will be Innovation City, in the lively food-and-retail Kloof Street area); there is no better community with whom to explore innovative solutions to global problems. The city is famous for its natural beauty.
During your down time, within a 15-minute ride of our base you could be hiking the biodiverse mountain trails of the iconic Table Mountain range or enjoying the white beaches of the Atlantic Seaboard. Cape Town is a work hard, play hard city with clubs, pubs, restaurants, music, and theatre venues at the heart of a vibey nightlife. A little further, and you’re in vineyards that date back to the 17th century. In between and around, there is the glorious V&A Waterfront, launchpad for boat trips to Robben Island; the penguin colonies of Boulders; and the natural paradise of Cape Point, where the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean. You’re in Africa, but the influences of the Dutch, British, Malaysian and other Asian communities that form part of Cape Town’s history are seen vividly in its cuisine, art, and lively neighbourhoods.
There’s a reason all who come here fall in love with Cape Town. We look forward to welcoming you.
