The city of Stellenbosch is the second oldest in South Africa, named after its founder Simon van der Stel. It grew from a small outpost of the Dutch-East India Company into an important cultural town, not least due to the University of Stellenbosch founded here in 1918. 16,000 of the city`s approx. 45,000 inhabitants are students, thus there is rich and vibrant cultural entertainment and night life from cozy pubs to some of the country`s finest restaurants, from street performers to first-class performances at the Oude Libertas Amphitheater.

Because of Stellenbosch`s growing interest to visitors from all over the world the shopping centres feature exquisite boutiques and shops catering to every desire. Galleries show and sell not only prime examples of Sub-Saharan art in general, but also the work of very promising local artists. And the array of souvenirs for sale covers the range, of course, from tacky to tasteful, as everywhere. Serious connaisseurs of South African wines can make use of reasonably priced shipping or post facilities to have their favorite selections sent or shipped home.

The Yellow Lodge in Stellenbosch is an excellent starting point or "home base" for excursions throughout the wineslands and to Cape Town.

Go for a drive through the Jonkershoek Valley with indigenous fauna such as proteas and other varieties of fynbos. At a designated parking spot, a hiking trail to a romantic waterfall begins, leading along the Eerste River and past the experimental fisheries station of the University of Stellenbosch.

The Four-Passes-Road takes you on a day`s excursion from Stellenbosch via Helshoogte Pass - Groot Drakenstein Franshoek - Franshoek Pass - Viljon`s Pass- Elgin - Grabouw - Sir Lowry`s Pass - Somerset West - Stellenbosch. The tours leads not only through some of the most spectacular scenery in the region, but also some interesting history: the French Hugenots fleeing from France found a new home in Franshoek (the French Corner), bringing their culinary specialties with them. Some of the finest wines in the world are grown here.
