Kapstadt in Südafrika is a destination that Family plans for families, focusing on children, safety and short distances. Behind it stands Swiss Vibes, a Swiss travel agency with video consultation, which puts together family trips with short distances. The planner asks about family and period, and on the video call Swiss Vibes clarifies the details.

Why this trip
Cape Town has everything children want to see in South Africa in a small space: penguins, a mountain with a cable car, an aquarium and beaches on two oceans. Between May and September it is cooler and rainier, but whale watching and the quiet are pleasant. At Boulders Beach penguins waddle between rocks and bathers, an encounter that children talk about for a long time. Table Mountain National Park offers paths and the cable car up Table Mountain, a highlight of the trip in clear visibility.
At the Cape of Good Hope and in the Cape Point Nature Reserve families walk over cliffs with a view of two seas. The Two Oceans Aquarium at the V&A Waterfront is a good plan for wet days, and at the World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary children meet birds and monkeys. The Bay Hotel lies near the coast. Addo, Johannesburg and Durban are neighbours for safari extensions.
The distances within Cape Town are longer than they look on the map, so plan one excursion per day. You discuss health and travel time with your doctor and in the video call with Swiss Vibes.
