Next we travel along the scenic Chapman’s Peak drive, a road which was carved into the side of the mountain and opened in 1922.  You will enjoy nine kilometres of some of the best scenery you will ever see and we will make photo stops on route.

From here we will drive towards the Cape Point nature reserve.  On route we have the possibility to encounter one of our troops of wild baboons.  We will keep our doors locked and windows up as these clever animals are capable of getting into cars in search of food.

Before entering the Cape Point nature reserve we will pause by the Cape Point Ostrich breeding farm.

After entering the Cape Point nature reserve we will drive to the Cape of Good Hope and have a photo stop at the most South-Westerly point of Africa.

Now we will choose to walk, or take the funicular towards the lighthouse, view the magnificent scenery and learn the story behind the second lighthouse right out on the tip.

We begin our journey back to Cape Town along the Indian Ocean side with our first stop being at Boulders beach for the African penguin colony.  Established in 1984 from a breeding pair this nature reserve has been designed so that you can walk amongst them and not disturb them.

Now for a well-deserved special lunch – I will email you the options as they will need to be booked in advance.
