What To Do In Cape Town

Falcon Safaris organises special tours in Cape Town, an truly amazing destination that offers truly unforgettable scenic views.

Places of Interest

Table Mountain


When it comes to exotic attractions, there are some destinations that really stand out because of their iconic landmarks. In South Africa, this highlight is without doubt Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

Africa’s most epic view
People from all across the globe are drawn to the majestic Table Mountain (1088m). There is something really attractive about this bold flat-topped mountain that dominates the city of Cape Town. It is really one of the natural wonders of the world, and brings people to question if it has been interfered with by man, or if it is really was formed naturally through millions of years of sedimentary rock erosion.

Whatever the reason that the mountain’s shape came about, it has long been one of South Africa’s most prominent and famous landmarks. So much so, it has even earned its spot on the local Cape Town flag.

The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park and was voted as one of the New 7 Wonders of Nature, competing against major global attractions. 500 million people participated in the vote, and incredibly, Table Mountain attracted more than 100 million votes. It may not come as a surprise, considering that it is described to be one of the most epic views in Africa.

Explore The Caprivi Strip












The Caprivi Strip, located, in northern Namibia, stretches east along the top of Botswana and is quite unlike the rest of the country.
It receives high rainfall, has lush vegetation and rich and diverse wildlife. The Okavango and Kwando Rivers snake across the Strip giving rise to waterfalls, rapids and swamps. Fertile soils support many small villages with children herding goats and cows, often all over the road.

Mahangu National Park










There are a number of national parks in the Caprivi. Mahangu is characterised by riverine forests, flood plains and magnificent baobabs. The park is rich in game with many antelope species, elephant, buffalo and lion. The picnic spot in the park overlooks a wonderful hippo pool. Neighbouring Bwabwata has extensive savannah, ancient Kalahari woodland, lily studded wetlands and abundant game.

Mdumu National Park










Further east, Mdumu is notable for its large herds of buffalo whilst neighbouring Mamili is the largest wetland area in Namibia. The intricate network of channels, reed beds and ox-bow lagoons are a haven for sitatunga, red lechwe and a myriad of birds from greater swamp warblers to lesser jacanas.
Finally, in eastern Caprivi there are beautiful wilderness areas beside the Chobe River. Lodges here provide ideal bases for Chobe River trips or visits into Botswana.
