3. From the Botanical Garden, we will head to Muizenberg. This is a beach-side suburb of cape Town known as surfers’ corner. It is situated where the shore of the Cape Peninsula curves round to the east on the False Bay coast. It is considered to be the birthplace of surfing in South Africa Muizenberg is recognised for its long wide expanse of sandy beach with kid-friendly waves, colourful huts that are used as changing rooms and has the added bonus of warmer water for bathers, another opportunity for your camera to be active. Because it has a sand bottom and gentle rolling waves, perfect for beginner surfers, it is one of the reasons why it is a perfect place to learn to surf. Behind Muizenberg beach are added extras like miniature putt-putt and the super-tube (waterslide). Who knows, you may encounter the Humpback Brydes Whales (January-May) or the majestic Southern Right Whale here during (June - December).

4. As we head our way towards the Colony of African Penguins, we will pass through the town of Simon's Town, a small town compressed between mountains and the sea 35km outside Cape Town but, full of rich history. Your guide will give a brief history of the town and we tell you stories of many interesting things that you will be seeing, such as the Just Nuisance. Simon’s Town is named after Simon van der Stel, the Dutch governor of the Cape Colony in the late 17th century. The town was established as a naval base by the British in the early 19th century and has been an important part of South Africa’s naval history ever since. The town’s historical significance is evident in its many well-preserved buildings and landmarks, including the Simon’s Town Museum and the South African Naval Museum.

About Kaapstad

Kaapstad ligt tussen de Tafelberg en de zee: een opvallende stad van stranden, wijngaarden, pinguïns en geschiedenis bij de zuidwestpunt van Afrika.

De platte top van de Tafelberg torent boven alles uit, te bereiken met de kabelbaan of via wandelpaden, met de Lion's Head en Signal Hill aan weerszijden. Beneden bruist de V&A Waterfront rond de werkende haven, en vanaf daar vertrekken boten naar Robbeneiland, waar Nelson Mandela achttien jaar gevangen zat. De kleurrijke huizen van Bo-Kaap klimmen tegen de hellingen boven het stadscentrum en de Company's Garden.

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