Start the morning with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburb of Sea Point, before passing through the awe-inspiring Camps Bay offering glorious views of the Twelve Apostles, part of the Table Mountain range. From here, head towards the fishing village of Hout Bay, one of Cape Town's best-kept secrets via Chapman’s Peak Drive (subject to weather conditions) then onto the Cape Point Nature Reserve via Scarborough.
Next, travel to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, comprising over 17 300 acres of indigenous fauna and flora. Here you will have the opportunity to see a variety of wildlife that includes baboons, rhebok, Cape Mountain zebra, bontebok and the elusive eland. The reserve is also one of the world’s largest breeding grounds for tortoises. For avid bird-watchers, you will also be delighted by an array of beautiful species to observe.
The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called “Nature's Greatest Show”. Watch the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend), and feel the brisk wind that is dubbed the “Cape Doctor” for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, return to Cape Town via Simon’s Town, where you visit the penguin colony at Boulders Beach (not included), Fish Hoek fishing village and Muizenberg. Before arriving back to Cape Town, enjoy a stop at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens for a short walking tour of the beautiful gardens before passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial and the Groote Schuur Hospital.
