THE CAPE PENINSULA The fairest Cape in all the circumference of the Earth - Sir Francis Drake

Should you have only one day to spend in Cape Town, visit Cape Point. Drive the Atlantic Seaboard through Green Point, Sea Point, CLIFTON and CAMPS BAY, to the little fishing harbour of HOUT BAY, for an optional boat ride to Seal Island. Travel over spectacular CHAPMAN'S PEAK drive, built between the layers of Table Mountain sandstone and granite, to the CAPE OF GOOD HOPE NATURE RESERVE and the most SOUTH WESTERLY TIP OF AFRICA. Returning to Cape Town we stop to visit the protected Jackass PENGUIN COLONY in Simonstown.
