Cape Town is not only a beautiful city – it’s South Africa’s Mother City! The first European settlers arrived at the Cape and this city is also the origin of most South African development and research. Despite the country’s relatively short history, it is still very interesting. As a result of the Cape’s fertile land and optimal location, the Cape became an essential station for replenishing supplies for European sailors en-route to India and other foreign destinations centuries ago. Later it became a popular destination for farmers, adventurers and businessmen.
