As the drive from Cape Town to Swellendam only takes 2.5 hours to cover the 220 kilometres, you can opt to visit Table Mountain before hitting the road. Or you set off early morning, and reach your destination in time for the heritage walk in the beautiful historic centre of Swellendam, after having lunch in one of its many restaurants. And if you’re in for some outdoor fun and game spotting, Bontebok National Park should be on your list.
