Cape Town

Cape Town is one of those destinations that almost seems unfair. Mountains drop into the ocean, beaches sit minutes from vineyards, world-class restaurants share a city with centuries of history, and a single trip can move from rooftop drinks and luxury hotels to safaris, townships, coastal drives, and some of the most recognizable scenery in Africa.

For Black American travelers, Cape Town also offers something different. This is Africa without giving up the kind of city vacation many of us already love. You can spend the morning on Table Mountain, have lunch overlooking the water, explore Black and South African history in the afternoon, and still have dinner reservations and somewhere worth going afterward.
