Table Mountain Walks

Cape Point

Cape Point (more accurately known as the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve) is a must see when visiting Cape Town.   Situated at the very tip of the Cape Peninsula it is often mistaken for the most southerly point on the African continent and also as the place where the two oceans meet.   Neither of these claims to fame are strictly true but a trip to Cape Point will not disappoint you.

The reserve has a number of major attractions including the two famous lighthouses, shipwrecks, beautiful beaches and scenery as well has a variety of fynbos (indigenous vegetation) and wildlife.

Unfortunately many tourists who visit Cape Point get only a superficial experience of the reserve.  Typical peninsula tours only give you the briefest of time there and don’t deviate to explore the less frequented areas.  In fact the tour buses are only allowed off the main thoroughfare so they can’t be blamed.  However the best and only way to fully appreciate this unique corner of Africa is on foot.

Table Mountain Walks is now offering a full day tour to Cape Point arriving early so you have it all to yourself, visiting both lighthouses and then set off on the coastal walk past Dias Beach to the Cape of Good Hope.   After lunch we will do the scenic circular walk to Kanonkop with time to take in the panoramic views before a visit to the world famous penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

This tour will only be done privately (maximum 4 people) so you can tailormake it to suit what you would like to see and do but for sure you will experience a very different Cape Point from that of a scheduled tour.   Watch the website for details or simply email for a quote in the meanwhile.
