dos lifts the lid on some of the Mother City's summertime secrets. Let's shake it up, summer

Aquila Private Game Reserve
Take a sho't left and a summer roadtrip to Aquila Private Game Reserve. That's right - the
great wonder of wildlife is a simple 2 hours' drive away from Cape Town's City Bowl. Settle
in for a daytime game drive, suit up for your safari, and catch a glimpse of the Big 5. Aquila
Private Game Reserve is family friendly, fabulous, and absolutely luxurious on every level.
Make it a day trip, an overnighter, or settle in for a sunshine-infused longer stay.
Breeze through Bo-Kaap
A distinctive and vibrant region of Cape Town, Bo-Kaap is located at the bottom of the iconic
Signal Hill. Steeped in history, Bo-Kaap gives you a colourful background for your summer
adventures. Moreover, Bo-Kaap is also a flavour-filled celebration. Explore the cobbled
streets, indulge in Cape Malay cuisine, and get a kick out of this cultural hub as you explore
Cape Town.
Sunset picnic at Signal Hill
After a day filled with exploration, settle in for a sunset picnic at Signal Hill. As sunset paints
the city with a mesmerising light show, you can unwind with good friends. Watch as the
Mother City's lights twinkle and Cape Town transforms and sun sets over the city.
Amble through the art
The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa (Zeitz MOCAA) showcases contemporary art
from Africa and its diaspora. Through rotating exhibitions, and more, Zeitz MOCAA fosters
intercultural understanding and promotes access to art for all. There are no two days the
same at Zeitz MOCAA, and your amble through the art is sure to put a summer spring into
your step.
Summer, but make it sustainable
Cape Town's range of zero waste stores bring home the important message of embedding
sustainability into our everyday lives. Sling your bottles and jars into a bag, and head out to
stock up for the season, making it sustainable in every way. Your wallet will thank you, and
so does the planet.
Kick back in a kayak
You might know Hout Bay for its fabulous dockside dining, but did you know you could kayak
there too? You'll paddle past dramatic cliffs, spot marine life, and savour the serenity of the
ocean. An excellent adventure for your summer holiday awaits.
Sundowners at the Silo
Wind your summer day down with a stylish twist at The Silo Hotel. Soak up the sunshine as
you sip a sundowner, from the rooftop bar atop this iconic hotel. The pillow-glassed windows
are an architectural feature that makes this hotel unmissable on the map. The sunset from
the rooftop bar that'll have you swooning too.
