👍👍 A birders paradise! Take your camera, bring patience and walk around this beautiful man made dam in the middle of an urban area! The idea behind this is definitely education on birds and nature! It's an morning or afternoon trip. You can walk or take a boat trip! It's a really good couple of hour...

👍👍 I love running from Newlands to the blockhouse. Once you're up there it gives you a beautiful view and if you run further you're able to go to the Woodstock Cave and further you'd find tafelberg road where you can exit onto from the mountain .

👍👍 We absolutely love our morning walks here (especially in our pj's, takeaway coffee in hand). The unobstructed natural surroundings are amazing! I would have to say that winter is our favourite time to wonder through the fresh, damp vegetation catching the occasional glimpse of some fungi nestled amo...

National astronomy centre headquarters founded in 1820 and open to visitors twice a month.

👍 Stodels is a delightful centre with friendly and helpful staff. My only issue with the place comes from the hair salon, The Upper Cut. My issue has nothing to do with the name of the salon, if you can believe that, but with the fact that the staff there smoke in the garden centre, despite it being a...

👍👍 Langa is the safest township in Capetown you can vist. However the poverty makes you want Break into tears. There are many good things which are being worked on.
