Meet some of the local content and talent responsible for reviving South Africa's Tourism Industry

AA marvellous metropolis for the world to admire South Africa’s beauty at its finest but what makes this scintillating city such a supernova destination? Beyond the oceans, the mountains, the fashion or food, Cape Town is home to a kaleidoscope of colour, culture and creativity; making it the perfect place to explore.

Here are a few spots worth checking out:

1) Zeitz MOCAA Museum

The world’s largest museum of contemporary African art dominates the business hub of the V&A Waterfront in Cape Town. The Zeitz MOCAA building houses many displays representing South Africa’s rich history. It’s not just the historical homegrown heritage that makes it a worldwide phenomenon, it’s the nine floors of African art and diaspora, the reimagined architecture and design of a grain silo. It’s the lavish luxury hotel sitting atop this beautiful building with an extraordinary panoramic view of the city landscape as well as the delicious contemporary cuisine - from the classic, hearty Gatsby to our local twist on braai vleis and indulgent, proudly South African desserts.

The Zeitz MOCAA is an African experience waiting to be explored. Check out the official museum website here for more.

2) Castle of Good Hope

The Castle of Good Hope, the oldest existing colonial building in South Africa, is rich in culture and overflowing with history. This star fort is located along the Table Bay coastline. The pentagonal fortress was constructed by Dutch colonialists in the 17th century. The renowned landmark is central to the story of Cape Town, being the seat of government and military operations for 200 years. A tour of the Castle’s two museums and expansive grounds offer fascinating insights into Cape Town’s military and cultural history.
