Cape Town to Kruger: City and Safari

Voici le point de départ

Twelve Apostles

The twelve Apostoles are a mountain range that emerges from the back side of Table Mountain and running towards south above the Camps Bay suburb. One of the best places to view the Twelve apostles in their glory is a braai area known as Maiden's cove. Maiden's cove got its name from the fact that this is where all the maiden British lady at the Cape used to take their last bath before marriage. From maiden's cove, one also gets to witness the Southwestern view of the Lionshead, the granitic white sandy beach of Camps Bay, and also Camps Suburb which is one of the poshest suburbs in Cape Town. While here, you will be given time to walk around and take pictures or even walk all the way down towards the Atlantic where various granite boulders make for great pictures.

Hout Bay

Hout Bay is an urban to rural town hidden between mountains. Constantia Berg to the East, The Chapman's peak to the South and The Sentinel to the west. Early Europeans that came to settle in Cape Town used the town as a timber outpost due to the abundance in indigenous trees here that made very good timber for boat and wagon making, so the Town became known as Hout Bay which was Dutch for Wood Bay. Today, Hout Bay has rich and poor suburbs. The rich are predominantly businessmen with some of them owning fishing boats and fish factories since Hout Bay has one of the busiest fishing harbors in Cape Town. The poor also take park in fishing businesses but rather informally so as their forefathers did thousands of years before the arrival of the Europeans at the Cape in the late 1400s. Hout Bay also has a beautiful white sandy beach popular with the locals. The heartbeat of this small town is at the harbor where you can buy souvenirs or even embark on boat trip to see seals at seal Island.

Chapman's Peak Drive

There are three passes that takes you in and out of Hout Bay, namely, Constantia Nek, Sugar bush, and the world-famous Chapman's peak drive. While the Sugar bush and Constantia Nek gives one good views and a peaceful and lush environment, the Chapman's peak drive on the other hand will make you feel like traversing the edges of a landslide in space. Spanning for about 9km from North to South, Chappies, as it is known locally, is one of the most scenic passes in Sout Africa. Chappies also has multiple picnic sites and lookout points where your guide will be glad to stop for you to enjoy the views and take pictures.

Cape Point

At the extreme southwestern point of Africa lies Cape point national par, a home to the world's richest floral kingdom. Cape point welcomes over a million visitors every year and remains one of the most visited places in South Africa but still manages to maintain its pristineness, historic significance and one of the best nature protecting national parks. While you are here, your guide will drive to the different sections of the park to point out landmarks of significant reference and also the unique flora of the Cape. Cape point nature reserve also has hiking trails that ranges from easy to moderate. One of the hikes starts from the cape of good hope, passing a pristine white sandy Diaz beach before ending at Cape point. You can also expect to see animals while you are here. Antelopes, Ostriches and baboons are some of the animals that are frequently spotted but one can also expect to spot the evasive Zebras and Caracals.

Boulders Beach Penguin Colony

Along the false bay coast of South Africa is a thriving African penguin colony at Boulders beach. Littered by over 500-million-year-old granite boulders, boulders beach attracts a lot of tourists daily, visiting the beach to have a glance at the adorable African penguins nesting at Boulders white sandy beach. Although the beach is secured due to the penguins being threatened by extinction, you will be able to get very close to them by walking on the boardwalk built there to give visitors a good view of the penguins but still managing to keep people away at the same time.
