Up until the 1970s, District Six was home to almost a tenth of the city of Cape Town’s population.
Today you will want to visit the ‘Two Oceans Aquarium’, which is without doubt one of the most exciting attractions in Cape Town. The high quality exhibits, conservation and education programs are key in raising environmental awareness. Ideally positioned where the two oceans, the Indian and Atlantic meet. Later this afternoon you will head out for your final tour fixtures.
This morning you will head to Africa’s leading super regional retail mall, Canal Walk shopping centre. It attracts thousands of international visitors every year with its spectacular architecture, spacious malls and unparalleled array of local and international retail brands as well as the unique Afri-Bizarre, which showcases the work of local retailers and craftsmen. This evening you may decide to have a celebratory meal.
After breakfast it’s time to check out but there is just enough time for some last minute shopping. Our coach will transfer you to the airport for the flight back to London. Arrive back at UK airport. The tour officially ends here but with a trip this great we are sure that it will live long in the memory.
