Cape Point and Peninsula tour
Includes: visit Boulder’s penguin colony & Victorian Simon’s Town & Cape Point,, guided fishing village tour, entrance fees & transfers Pensinsula full day tour – ZAR 650,- p.p. This full-day tour takes you all the way to world-renowned Cape Point, the most southwesterly tip of Africa, situated in the Cape of Good Hope nature Reserve. En route, we will circle the southern peninsula, soaking up the magnificent Atlantic coastline as we pass through the trendy beach culture of Camps Bay, the picturesque fishing harbour of Kalk Bay, and historic Simon’s Town. Travelling in an intimate group of no more than 10 people, you will be able to enjoy the personal attention of your knowledgeable guide. Our next stop is the stunning Cape Point nature Reserve. Set on the most southwesterly point of the continent, where the two oceans meet, and forming the tip of the 22 100 hectare Table Mountain National Park, the Cape Point nature Reserve is a World Heritage Site; and for good reason. Here you will be standing at the very tip of what was once called the Cape of Storms and later restyled the Cape of Good Hope, where Vasco da Gama and Bartholomeu Diaz before him blazed the trade routes that would forever change global economic reality. The arresting, rugged terrain is a sanctuary for several wild animals, including antelope, baboons and ostrich, at least 250 species of wild bird, and approximately 1 100 indigenous plant species, some of which grow nowhere else on earth. Dare yourself to approach the edge of one of the highest sea cliffs in the world - 249 m above sea level. Then we proceed to our last port of call: the charming fishing village of Kalk Bay. As you wind your way along the narrow cobbled streets, past shop windows choked with enticing bric-a-brac, your local guide will tell you more about the heritage of this unique and colourful town and the fishing community that live there. Like many of the Cape’s smaller fishing industries, the Kalk Bay fishermen have their work cut out for them to eke out a living. Through merely taking this tour, you are helping Andulela to fulfil their goal of giving back to this historic town and its community. We finish our day in the home of a local fishing family for a cup of tea. Then its back to the city for a night’s restful slumber, such as only a day in the bracing sea air can give you. |
