Cheaper than flights with stopovers
From £397 pp
Pirates, Norse Atlantic UK is doing direct flights from London Gatwick to Cape Town for £404 per person return, so you can swap autumn drizzle for a proper fortnight at the foot of Table Mountain.
Departure Date: 28 Oct 2026 – 12 Nov 2026
Flight Type: Round trip · Economy
Late October into November is the sweet spot before peak summer, with mild to warm days of 20 to 25C, little rain and uncrowded beaches, though the south-easterly wind known locally as the Cape Doctor can pick up as November goes on. You've got 15 days from 28 October to 12 November 2026 to split your time between the city, the winelands and the coast. Do note this is Norse's Light fare, which only includes small hand luggage, so check the airline's website for checked bag prices before you fly.
Table Mountain sits at a stellar 4.8/5 on TripAdvisor from more than 18,000 reviews, and it's an easy cable car ride to the top for views that stretch from Robben Island to the Cape of Good Hope. This one suits anyone who wants beaches, hikes and a glass of Stellenbosch red all in the same trip.
