The Sunday Times - A road trip through South Africa’s Western Cape

The Sunday Times - A road trip through South Africa’s Western Cape

"It has been a long walk to freedom for the country, which has finally been removed from the UK’s red list. Oliver Smith explores vineyards, a nature reserve and is involved with a penguin rescue.

The triumph of a South African holiday is time travel. Not the brain fog of jet lag — there’s none of that. Rather the hopeful experience of rewinding six months to when spring was in the air.

Right now, as Europe’s vineyards wither, those in South Africa are starting to bear fruit; as the sun makes its apologies and reaches for its coat in the northern hemisphere, it gilds the crags and canyons of Table Mountain, warming the sand on the surfers’ coves below. Under its benevolent beam you too might feel six months younger."

Oliver Smith was a guest of Africa Travel, which has seven nights in South Africa from £2,395pp, with two nights at Babylonstoren and three at the Belmond Mount Nelson, both B&B, and two at the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve, full board, including flights, car hire and most activities.
