The neighborhood tells a cultural story of the Cape Town Muslim community that goes back hundreds of years, and is home to the oldest (and first) mosque in South Africa. ![]() This vibrant Cape Malay neighborhood’s rainbow-colored buildings are a trendy backdrop for Instagram - but there’s so much more to the Bo-Kaap than that.

Lekker is a positive exclamation, kind of like saying “cool” or “awesome.” (This word is like a catchy pop song: once you first notice it, you’ll see and hear it everywhere in the city.) You’ll hear now-now, which comes from the Afrikaans phrase “ nou-nou,” when someone wants you to hurry. You’ll have that more fun meeting locals if you pick up a few Cape Town slang terms before you visit. (Extra credit if you spot a leopard, the most reclusive of the Big Five animals!) You can meet giraffes, elephants, lions, and countless other creatures in a single day’s adventure. At destinations like Aquila Private Game Reserve and Inverdoorn Game Reserve, you can get up close and personal with wild animals just a short drive away from the city.

There are dozens of wineries worth exploring, but if you’re an animal lover, one place you won’t want to miss is La Bourgogne Farm, where friendly farm dogs roam around the property and nap at your feet while you sip. In destinations like Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, you can spend the day drinking your way through local vineyards. No visit to Cape Town is complete without a detour to the nearby Cape Winelands, which begin less than an hour outside the city.
