Cape Town at New Year
Cape Town celebrates New Year in style, with open air concerts in Kirstenbosch Gardens, a spectacular fireworks display at the Waterfront and a carnival celebrating the Cape Malay culture, when thousands of minstrels take to the streets in a dazzling display of colourful satin uniforms, shiny parasols, painted faces and foot-tapping banjo tunes that accompany the traditional folk songs.
A trip to the City wouldn’t be complete without a cable car ride up Table Mountain for breathtaking views across the city: other options include a visit to Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela spent years in incarceration and a guided tour of the nearby winelands – fast becoming known as one of the world’s best gastronomic regions – opt to take a picnic at one of the vineyards or dine in style in an ultra-chic restaurant overlooking the mountains.
There are also a number of more unusual trip options: a visit to Cape Point – the southernmost tip of Africa – can be combined with a kayaking excursion to a penguin colony, a guided encounter with a troop of baboons in their natural mountain environment, a white shark safari or an excellent half day course in Cape Malay cuisine – run by a renowned local Cape Malay lady with a huge sense of humour!
The city is surrounded by paradise beaches, and has a huge selection of excellent restaurants, many of them serving delicious fresh seafood and local specialities, accompanied by excellent wine, at remarkably low prices - as well as numerous trendy bars and live music venues.
Perhaps best of all, it is only a 12 hour overnight flight from London, on the same time zone as the UK, and in the middle of its summer in December ... where better to cope with the indulgences – and their after –effects this new year.
