Venue: Moyo @ Spier
Creating a modern, sophisticated African Brand is what moyo is all about. It is a threefold tapestry
woven together with a delicate yet tenacious thread that combines food, entertainment and retail. A
mixture so strong and enticing that it appeals to all five senses of the body and attempts the six
sense into a state of anticipation and heightened awareness. The moyo food adventure will carry you
through Africa: from the Savannas of the South, along the Coasts of the East, across the Deserts of the
North and deep into the Jungles of the West; on a gastronomic journey beyond measure. Your taste
buds will be enticed by the sweet scent of coriander and fresh aroma of rose petals. Cumin, paprika and
saffron spice will urge you to explore the diversity and sophistication of African cuisine. |

Cocktails at the Predator Tank (R300 per person) |
CE05 |
| |
Venue: Two Oceans Aquarium
The southern tip of the African continent is the meeting place of two mighty and Bountiful oceans, the
Indian and the Atlantic. The Two Oceans Aquarium on the V&A Waterfront, Cape Town is ideally
positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans. The Predator
Tank contains 2 million litres of seawater and is a dramatic window on the ocean. Large ragged-tooth
sharks patrol the exhibit whilst an assortment of graceful rays, shoals of silver predatory fishes and a
loggerhead turtle swim effortlessly against the current.
Other spectacular viewing points on this masterpiece include a semi-tunnel, which hugs the perimeter of
the tank. This affords close-up views of the inhabitants as they glide past overhead. |
