Kap der Guten Hoffnung

Cape Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa

What to expect

The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula in South Africa. It is a significant landmark for sailors and a popular tourist destination. The area is rich in cultural and natural heritage, with a variety of wildlife, including Eland, Red Hartebeest, Bontebok, and Zebra. Visitors can enjoy outdoor activities such as hiking, surfing, angling, picnicking, beaching, and cycling against the spectacular backdrop of the mountains and coastline of the Cape Peninsula. The Buffelsfontein Visitor Centre provides information on the plants and animals to look out for in different seasons. The Cape Point area offers excellent viewing opportunities from two lighthouses, one of which is still fully functional and can be accessed by foot or by taking the Flying Dutchman funicular to the top. Free guided walks are offered at Cape Point on selected Sunday mornings throughout the year
