Bokaap remains one of my favourite areas to wander. I find the place so beautiful and the people so welcoming. Of course I always stop for a Cape Malay meal under the trees outside Faeza s kitchen. Pictures: Dr Norman Cahi

Cape Town has just been voted as the top city in the world by the prestigious Time Out publication. And I fully agree with this, having just returned from my vacation there.

The seascapes throughout Cape Town are absolutely breathtaking, drawing millions of tourists to the Mother City each year.

The quaint village of Philadelphia features a main road adorned with stoeps transformed into artistic displays from a bygone era.

The iconic view of Table Mountain from Blouberg remains stunning in its simplicity and majesty — a true masterpiece of God’s creation.

Chapman's Peak drive is one the world's most spectacular scenic drives and never fails to impress me.

The city's neighbourhoods proudly showcase fresh produce, vibrant flowers, art, and aesthetic details, all designed to captivate visitors.

A spectacular sunset from our Seapoint deck.

These trees at right angles along the seafront promenade are testament to the ferocity of the Cape winds, but still offer solace and comfort to the marginalised people in our society.

I love seeing these heritage buildings still standing along Adderley Street in the CBD.

The tranquillity of magical Camps Bay can only be experienced at sunrise, before the crowds arrive and transform the little village into a bustling hub of activity.
