Ablauf

1. We leave Cape Town at about 07:30 in the morning and drive southeast on the N2 via Sir Lowry’s pass heading towards the Cape Overberg. We will enjoy views of spectacular landscapes, rugged mountain ranges and gently sloping hills of wheat and canola fields that look a bit like mid-ocean swell waves. We stop above Sir Lowry’s pass for a photo opportunity and breathtaking sights of False Bay lying below. Our expedition continues through the beautiful green, gold and brown citrus orchards of the overberg, stopping at a Farm stall for some refreshments. We proceed with our trip through Caledon, the seventh oldest town in South Africa, agricultural hub of the Overberg area and known for the iron-rich hot springs on the slopes of the Swartberg. Our tour will lead us to The Cape Agulhas Lighthouse that has stood for over 150 years as a maritime chaperone over the notorious 'Cape of Storms', at the most southern tip of Africa. This official meeting point of the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean is also the point of convergence of the Mozambique and Benguela currents.

2. Further on, we visit the shipwreck museum in Bredasdorp. There have been approximately 130 shipwrecks off the Southern Cape coast since 1673. This dangerous section of coast is known as the "Graveyard of the ships". The Museum also documents the rich history of the area and has a collection of shipwreck artifacts and a treasure house of figureheads and lifeboats, porcelain, cannons, anchors, old bottles and coins from a number of European countries.

About Kapstadt

Kapstadt breitet sich zwischen Tafelberg und Meer aus: Strände, Weinberge, Pinguine und Geschichte nahe der Südwestspitze Afrikas.

Der flache Gipfel des Tafelbergs überragt alles und ist per Seilbahn oder auf Wanderwegen erreichbar, flankiert von Lion's Head und Signal Hill. Darunter herrscht an der V&A Waterfront Betrieb rund um den Arbeitshafen, und von dort fahren Boote nach Robben Island, wo Nelson Mandela achtzehn Jahre lang inhaftiert war. Die bunten Häuser des Bo-Kaap ziehen sich die Hänge oberhalb des Stadtzentrums und des Company's Garden hinauf.

Top-ranked sights in Kapstadt: Boulders Beach, Cape of Good Hope, Chapman’s Peak Drive.
