Ready and Roam / Western Cape, South Africa

Coastal living along the Western Cape is both expansive and quaint. The capital city of Cape Town is vibrant, stylish and sophisticated. Just one hour inland, you’ll find a picturesque wine region full of centuries old wineries. Southeast from the "the mother city" sits the seaside town of Hermanus, known for whale watching and cage diving with great white sharks.
