Go paragliding and see the city from a bird’s eye view (literally) as you float about the Atlantic Sea Board on a tandem paragliding jump. It’s not a scary experience as you don’t fall but rather float and have a chance to appreciate the view of the buildings, ocean, Lion’s Head & Table Mountain. Find out more »
OUR RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH
THE KIND KITCHEN, Constantia Uitsig
The Kind Kitchen creates seasonal vegan goodness from locally grown and sourced produce in the Cape Town CBD. Their mantra is No Harm Done. This ethos is incorporated throughout the structure of their business, from their suppliers to the way they package foods. Founded by vegan advocate and chef Jason McNamara, he recently welcomed Ed Sheeran and Passenger who visited the cafe to enjoy a true vegan dinner. He believes veganism has become a globally recognised lifestyle choice and not a trend! Find out more »
