Discover the gourmet restaurants, impressive art scene, vibrant nightlife and beautiful beaches of Cape Town; enjoy a local braai (barbecue) in the Soweto township; browse the bustling Indian markets in Durban; or sample some of the world’s finest wines at the myriad wine estates dotting the Cape Winelands. Some historical attractions to explore include the Zululand battlefields of KwaZulu-Natal, the Apartheid Museum in Johannesburg and Robben Island, just off the coast of Cape Town. Above all else, its remarkably untamed wilderness with its astonishing range of wildlife roaming freely across massive unfenced game reserves such as the world-famous Kruger National Park. With all of this variety on offer, it is little wonder that South Africa has fast become Africa’s most popular tourist destination. Cape Town Resting at the confluence of the Indian and Atlantic oceans, sandwiched between the slopes of the iconic Table Mountain and the glistening sapphire waters of Table Bay, the exceptionally scenic city of Cape Town is in a class of its own. Some cities boast rich culture, vibrant nightlife, a cosmopolitan atmosphere and extraordinary architecture, while others boast breathtaking landscapes and extraordinary natural wonders. Cape Town is lucky enough to be blessed with all of these attractions and so much more. With its bustling harbour, world-class beaches, top-notch vineyards, and its mountainous surroundings brimming with diverse flora and fauna, Cape Town consistently captivates the hearts of all who visit. Overnight: Victoria & Alfred Hotel View iBrochure History and modern luxury merge to create ageless beauty at the Victoria & Alfred Hotel, which was built in 1904 as the North Quay Warehouse. This iconic establishment was named after Queen Victoria and her son, Prince Alfred who played an intrinsic role in the establishment of the Breakwater Basin – now the V&A Waterfront. The hotel is located in the very heart of this internationally acclaimed destination and is a sophisticated retreat amid the buzz. It offers some of the most enviable views of Cape Town Harbour, Table Mountain and the slick city that stretches out at the foot of this Natural Wonder. Timeless elegance and personalised luxury are found at the award- winning Victoria & Alfred Hotel. Attention to detail, its elegance and an outstanding reputation have set this hotel apart as one of Cape Town’s finest establishments. A luxurious stay awaits at each of the 94 well-appointed, contemporary rooms, with views of the Alfred Basin, Table Mountain or the piazza. Warm personal service makes guests feel at home instantly. P a g e | 7 Alternate: Southern Sun Cape Sun View iBrochure From it's undeniably idyllic location within the Cape Town CBD, this 32 floor city skyscraper offers the ideal base from which to explore the many attractions, from Cape Point to Cape Winelands. Business and leisure travellers alike are invited to experience a blend of elegance, traditional hospitality and world class facilities - all offered at this memorable Tsogo Sun hotel. At over 100 meters above sea level, guests can enjoy postcard-perfect views of Table Mountain and the iconic Robben Island.

The Cape Sun offers complimentary WI-FI, a complimentary shuttle to and from the V&A Waterfront and is a mere 15 minutes away from the Cape Town Convention Center - CTICC. Cape Town has a bustling night life in Long Street and is a walk away from Cape Town train Station and the MyCiti Bus terminal. Basis Bed and Breakfast Excluded Lunch & dinner for own account Day 2: Victoria & Alfred Hotel, Cape Town P a g e | 8 Day Itinerary After breakfast, included at the hotel, you are taken to the stunning vantage point of Signal Hill, on the side of Table Mountain. This is the best place to get 360-degree views over the city where your guide can introduce you to the lay-out of Cape Town , its neighbourhoods, famous sites, nature attractions and history behind it all. Signal Hill forms part of Table Mountain and is named for the cannon that still fires at noon everyday - Capetownians' official time check. It offers picnic spots, gentle walks and the launch site for paragliding. If you are lucky you will spot the fury Cape Dassie (Rock Hyrax) roaming around. (Should a guest prefer to purchase a cable car ticket to ascend Table Mountain - they will be dropped off en route to Signal Hill and can read the information boards at the top that explain much of what the guide will be teaching the group at Signal Hill). A stop for lunch will be made, followed by a guided exploration of Cape Town's historic and current cultural centers - The Castle of Good Hope and the Bo Kaap. The Castle of Good Hope is the oldest surviving building in South Africa. It was built between 1666 and 1679 as a fort and is now a famous historical landmark in the city, notable for its star shape. The five bastions (of the five-pointed star) are named after the main titles of Willem, the Prince of Orange. The Bo-Kaap is the only area in the city of Cape Town where the Cape Malay community were not forceably removed under Apartheid. It is a bright and colourful area, one of the most photographed places in Cape Town but its flavour is endangered by on-going gentrification of the area.

  • The Production and Use of Wordless Picture Books in Parent-Child Reading: an Exploratory Study Within a South African Context
    The production and use of wordless picture books in parent-child reading: an exploratory study within a South African context by Adrie le Roux Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree Masters of Philosophy, Visual Arts (Illustration) at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Ms. Elmarie Costandius Faculty of Humanities Department of Visual Arts March 2012 Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za/ DECLARATION By submitting this thesis/dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. November 2011 Copyright © 2011 University of Stellenbosch All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za/ ABSTRACT This thesis is an exploratory study into the feasibility of the use of wordless picture books with the aim to develop a culture of and love for reading within the South African context, as approached from my viewpoint as an illustrator. Despite a growing body of literature that advocates the use of wordless picture books in educational and literacy development, not much research exists on their use within the South African context exists. Additionally, there are few locally published wordless picture books available in South Africa, with the market being dominated by American and European imports. Those that do exist locally lack variety and are largely labelled as educational.
