2. Sunrise Hike & Proposal at Lion’s Head

Few things are more breathtaking than watching Cape Town light up beneath you. Propose at the summit of Lion’s Head at sunrise...surrounded by sea, sky, and silence. It’s nature’s own amphitheatre.

3. Helicopter Ride Over the City Bowl

Book a helicopter ride from the V&A Waterfront and pop the question mid-air, above Table Mountain or the Atlantic Seaboard. Some packages include a special landing for private moments.

4. Private Sunset Picnic at Signal Hill

Hire a local picnic setup service and enjoy a romantic sunset with bubbly, fairy lights, and a view that stretches forever. It’s intimate, cozy, and full of golden hour magic.

5. Proposal in the Vineyards – Constantia or Stellenbosch

Stroll through rows of vines, sip on local wines, and propose between tastings. Some estates even allow you to bottle your own wine to commemorate the moment.

6. Table Mountain Proposal at Golden Hour

Take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain in time for sunset. With soft wind, dramatic cliffs, and 360° views, it’s a classic for good reason.

7. Oceanfront Proposal in Clifton or Camps Bay

Walk barefoot along Clifton 4th Beach or enjoy a fine dining meal with ocean views in Camps Bay. A message in the sand or a beach picnic ring reveal? Your call.

8. Zeitz MOCAA Rooftop for the Art Lovers

The Zeitz Museum of Contemporary Art Africa offers modern backdrops and rooftop gardens. Quiet corners and dramatic architecture make it perfect for a thoughtful, artsy proposal.

9. Private Chef Experience in a Luxury Villa

Rent a villa and hire a private chef to prepare a gourmet meal. End the night with dessert... and a proposal. It's low-key luxury with total control over the setting.

10. Adrenaline Proposal – Paragliding off Signal Hill

Ready for a high-flying engagement? Book a tandem paragliding flight and surprise your partner once you land.... with friends, a photographer, or a simple ring in hand moment.
