About Paarl

Translating from Dutch as “pearl”, Paarl is one of the oldest European settlements in South Africa and the largest town in the Cape Winelands. It was originally inhabited by the Khoikhoi before the 17th-century arrival of French Huguenots, who established orchards, vegetable gardens and vineyards. In 1990, Nelson Mandela walked free from Paarl's Drakenstein Correctional Centre after 27 years of imprisonment.

For sweeping views across the Cape Winelands, climb to the top of Paarl Rock, a huge granite outcrop that lies within the Paarl Mountain Nature Reserve.

On the southwestern outskirts of Paarl is the Drakenstein Lion Park, which provides a sanctuary for captive-born lions that cannot be rehabilitated into the wild.
