When planning a wildlife-rich vacation, Cape Town might not be the first place that comes to mind. Yet, the city’s Belmond Mount Nelson is a gateway to the wild, with experiences like a guided walk around Table Mountain to seek native fynbos and fauna; a dawn hike on the mountain at first light; and a marine tour through the Cape Kelp Forest led by a local shark scientist. You can’t go wrong with any of the accommodations, but for the very best, book the two-bedroom Honeysuckle Cottage. Built in the late 1800s, it has undergone a serious restoration, emerging as a sweet refuge with its own flower garden and access to a private pool away from other hotel residents.
