Lance Armstrong in South Africa

Seven-time Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong is in South Africa preparing for his next race. The Cape Argus is the world's largest individually timed race and features a one-day, 65 mile course around South Africa's Cape Peninsula, finishing in Cape Town at the World Cup soccer stadium.

Armstrong has already done several practice rides, and has raved about the stunning scenery. Famous for its harbor, Table Mountain, and nearby Cape Point, Cape Town is rightly known as one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Fortunately Cape Town is easy to add to any of our South Africa itineraries, and is featured in our Cape Town Highlights Tour, as well as in our Sabi Sand and Cape Town luxury safari.

For the golfer, check out our South Africa Golf and Game which combines an Eastern Cape wildlife safari with tours of Cape Town, the winelands, and golf at several fantastic courses including the Jack Nicklaus designed course at Pearl Valley.
