Depart the city along the Atlantic Seaboard - past the coastal suburbs of Sea Point, Bantry Bay and Clifton and stop for a photo op of Table Mountain's towering Twelve Apostles. On past Bakoven and Llandudno, marked by shipwrecks, to the fishing village of Hout Bay. Here, board a boat to view the Cape Fur Seal colony on Duiker Island (optional extra). On return, head over the 600m heights of Chapman's Peak Drive, one of the world's most spectacular passes, past the Cape's longest beach near Noordhoek and the hamlets of Kommetjie and Scarborough - with a chance to sight Southern Right Whales just offshore from June to November! Explore the rocky coastline and unique Fynbos vegetation, home to birds like African Black Oystercatchers and Cape Sugarbirds and view other endemic fauna like Cape Mountain Zebra, Bontebok and Baboon as we enter the Cape of Good Hope National Park. Climb (or ride a funicular, optional extra) to the famous Cape Point Lighthouse, to capture the magical vistas of False Bay, and stop at the south westernmost point of Africa - the fabled Cape of Good Hope. We stop for lunch (own account) and visit Boulders Beach, for a close-up with a colony of African Penguins. Drive through the naval village of Simonstown and over Boyes Drive, taking in views of the fishing harbour at Kalk Bay and the seaside havens of St James and Muizenberg. Visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens - with time to browse these magnificent gardens set on the slopes of Table Mountain before returning to the city. |
