Visit one of South Africa's three capitals in the coastal city of Cape Town. It makes for the perfect extension tour for wine enthusiasts, who can add on a three-day wine-tasting exploration of the region. In the shadow of impressive Table Mountain (perfect for hikes), Cape Town has a metropolitan mix of fashion, art, and cuisine, earning it the local nickname "melting pot of Africa." Tour Robben Island as part of your Cape Town vacation, where you might spot some of the 23 mammals and 132 bird species including the African penguin; it's also where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned. Cape Town trips often include the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, home to more than 8000 species of indigenous plants. Some of the tour packages also include excursions to the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet.
