July 22, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

From flat-topped Table Mountain down to the blue waters of Table Bay, Cape Town is simply stunning, but the city doesn't thrive by its looks alone. Proudly multicultural, its flourishing arts, dining, and nightlife scenes are proof of this modern metropolis' creativity and innovative spirit.

Reviewed By jeantaylor2018 - Somerset West, South Africa

This was our second trip to the monument. It was just as inspiring as the first time. The views are spectacular right across to the Helderberg and the Stellenbosch Mountains. There were several wedding parties taking photos there, as well as two models. The photos of the gigantic columns, steps and lions are very dramatic & have dramatic atmosphere. cutest little wedding chapel next to the lovely restaurant with al fresco casual dining with a view under huge stone pines.

Just Nuisance

Reviewed By axelsL1196YB - Lillehammer, Norway

This Grand Danois is still widely know over Africa and other parts of the world. The life of this dog was very special - and yes, there is a lovely story about this dog. He, Just Nuisance became the first and only canine Royal Navy member in history! What was the reason? - Well, you have to google it - and you will find a lovely story, why this dog ,in 1939, only two years old enjoyed the Royal Navy for the rest of his live. - Simon’s Town has a rich naval history, which stretches back more than two hundred years. Although now home to the South African Navy, in those days the Naval Base fell under the command of the British rule and the Royal Navy and was the largest naval base on the entire African continent. (we have been there some years ago)
