Drive through the cobbled streets of the Malay Quarter after lunch and proceed on the remainder of your tour of the Mother City.
Enjoy a stroll through the Company Gardens – a large public park and botanical garden set in the heart of Cape Town. It is the oldest garden in the country and has its origins in Jan van Riebeeck’s vegetable garden which he grew to feed the original colony as early as 1652.
The tree-lined avenue forms a pathway between the suburb of Gardens and the city center, and there are a number of other important buildings within the garden such as the South African Museum. Established in 1852, the museum has been adding to its collections for over 200 years and offers a diverse range of exhibitions. Visitors have not failed to leave the museum without a better understanding of the earth and its biological and cultural diversity - both past and present.

The Castle of Good Hope houses the military personnel of the SA army in the Western Cape, the famous William Fehr Collection of historic artworks, the Castle Military Museum and ceremonial facilities for traditional Cape Regiments.
