Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope
One of the top, and most scenic drives in South Africa – part of the Big 3 – and definitely not to be missed. The most south westerly tip of the African continent – Francis Drake called it “Fairest of Capes” – but it is also the Cape of Storms. Majestic and breath taking, on any given day.
High Lights:
- From Cape Town scenic drive along coast – stop at Maiden`s Cove overlooking Camps Bay and the Twelve Apostles
- Continue via Hout Bay – optional boat trip to Seal Island (own account)
- Picturesque Chapman`s Peak Drive with stunning views from top of Pass – (if open or via beautiful Constantia Valley)

- Enjoy lunch like a king or queen at one of most scenic places in South Africa
- Visit Boulders – land based African Penguin colony – and be surprised by these awkward walking (deacon like dressed) creatures on land, but fast and agile in the water. You can look them in the eye and nearly even shake hands!

The Mother city, where the Dutch East Indian Company started a refreshing station in 1652 with Jan van Riebeeck, the first governor. Here he met the Khoi –San, most indigenous people of South African and traded with them.

Discover this city on foot and by car.
