Camps Bay, Llandudno
Camps Bay* is the name of one of the most popular beaches in Cape Town* as well as the seaside village next to it. On a sunny day the beach is packed with sun worshippers, many of them tourists from abroad enjoying the climate in our summer while the northern hemisphere are experiencing the middle of their winter.

Llandudno is an upmarket seaside village that we pass just before we get to Hout Bay*. Built against a steep incline it offers beautiful views of the ocean. It's perhaps best known for bordering Cape Town*'s official nudist beach at Sandy Bay... however, we won't be going there. If you want to return there later on you'll have to walk down a pathway from Llandudno to get there.

Hout Bay & Harbour
Hout Bay* is Dutch/ Afrikaans for Bay of Wood. The mountains surrounding this picturesque bay used to be covered by trees and was used by the early Dutch settlers as a source of wood. Today activity here focus mostly on fishing, and tourism. It's a popular retirement choice and has a down to earth rustic atmosphere about it. Here you can take an optional* boat trip to Seal Island, for more information click here.

Chapman's Peak Drive
One of the top scenic coastal drives in South Africa*. It is currently partly closed for maintenance work. We climb up to the top of the pass from where one gets a great view back over the Bay. In whale season there's always a good chance of seeing some of the gentle sea giants around. The height of the vantage point helps one to see someway below the surface (on clear days) making it possible to see much more of a whale even if it's not surfacing.

Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve & Cape Point
The southern part of the peninsula is a conservation area, managed as the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve*. It has a variety of antelope, amongst others the biggest antelope in South Africa* - the Eland. The reserve also provides a safe haven for big troops of baboons.

We'll head for Cape Point* where you can either take the path or the funicular (optional*) to the lighthouse on the top of the ridge. From here one has a great view over False Bay and on a clear day you can see right across the Bay to Hangklip which forms the other end of the Bay approx. 30 km away.

Historic naval town of Simon's Town
Simon's Town played an important role in the British take over of the Cape Colony in the early 19th century. Today it still fulfills the role of a naval town. At Simon's Town you can make an optional excursion* to the Boulders Penguin Colony, for more info click here.

Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens
Kirstenbosch is one of Cape Town*'s most popular tourist attractions. The Garden was originally donated to the residents of Cape Town* by Cecil John Rhodes. Its setting in the shade of Devil's Peak and its vast array of plant species makes it quite special. Amongst others it has a section especially for the blind focussing on herbal plants with its qualities relating to touch and aroma.

The Garden's myriad of paths link up with hiking trials that run almost the full length of the Table Mountain* range. There's also a very pleasant tea garden on the premises making for a good relaxing stop before our tour returns to Cape Town* city and your hotel.
