When to go

Arrive around November and you might see flamingoes and whales (both seasonal treats in Stanford). Otherwise, August is the sweet spot for sun and just-right temperatures.

Getting there

  • Planes

    Fly into Cape Town – Stanford is about a two-hour drive away.

  • Automobiles

    You’ll need a car to navigate the wild terrain (a four-wheel drive for some more rugged roads). Or – even better – hire a local driver so you can sip with abandon at wine tastings.
