See for yourself the spectacular Kirstenbosch Gardens, Hout Bay, Cape of Good Hope, Penguins and Simonstown. Discover the southern tip of Africa, known as the "Fairest Cape".
The Cape Peninsula Tour begins with a stroll through the famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape flora it displays and for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
Kirstenbosh grows only indigenous South African plants (4 700 of the estimated 20 000 species). The estate covers 528 hectares and supports a diverse fynbos flora and natural forest.
Then drive past the pristine beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno to Hout Bay, a functioning harbour and heart of the local crayfish industry. (optional Seal Island Cruise, weather and time permitting).
After a stop for lunch (own account), it's on to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and its scenic viewing point at Cape Point. The spectacular sea and mountain views are reason enough to make the 66km trip from Cape Town.
Amid the rocky landscape - home to mountain zebra, eland and ostriches, blooms magnificent Cape Flora. Continue along the coastline to the beautiful Boulders Beach where you can sit among a colony of penguins. Our last stop is the naval port of Simon's Town, the country's third oldest European settlement.
