I cannot imagine being happy anywhere else in the world but in Cape Town - South Africa in general, but Cape Town in particular.

Christoffel Wiese

In Cape Town, there's a drive from Cape Point to Camps Bay where the road is hewn out of the cliffs. It's just stunning, particularly if you do it as the sun is going down.

Sean Pertwee

Cape Town's beaches are superb and while the water on the Atlantic side is damn cold, it's very pleasant on the other side. Bring your golf clubs if you play - Cape Town has some fabulous golf courses.

Wilbur Smith

Cape Town is beautiful. It's an extraordinary beach town with mountain ranges on either side.

Michael O'Keefe

I have a daughter and two grand-daughters and a great grandson in Africa, in Cape Town.

Doris Lessing

Cape Town is a weird town. There's a mountain, and the sea, and a little city tucked into the side of the mountain.

Watkin Tudor Jones

I go for long walks in Newlands Forest in Cape Town, and I go to the Turkish baths on Sunday mornings.

Damon Galgut

The vision of a blood-washed Africa propelled me to go from Cape Town to Cairo and start Christ for all Nations.

Reinhard Bonnke

A waiter at the hotel kept telling me that Cape Town is just like a European city, but it's not like that at all. It doesn't feel safe, and I didn't really go out at night.

Robert Webb

I used to do my Nelson Mandela voice to blag restaurant tables in Cape Town. It rarely worked. Now what a great city that is.

Rory Bremner

I live in Cape Town but my favourite holiday destination is Hermanus, a little seaside town about a 90-minute drive away, over the pass and down to the sea, on the sunshine coast. It's where I love to escape to with my wife for a weekend every now and again.

Wilbur Smith

When you go to the jungle in South Africa, it's tropical versus the dry heat of Cape Town - it's hard to believe it's the same country.
