Hout Bay Harbour in South Africa

Just around the corner from Simon’s Town lies Boulders Beach, a sheltered cove of soft white sand, massive granite boulders and icy cold water. Boulders Beach is the home to a colony of thousands of African penguins. Here you will see them go about their daily business: preening and sunning themselves, guarding a nest, waddling along the sand and sliding into the water.

The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the southern end of South Africa’s Cape Peninsula. Throughout history, the Cape of Good Hope has been historically significant to sailors and explorers. Bartolomeu Dias, the 15th century Portuguese explorer, was the first officially recorded person to have successfully navigated these turbulent waters and was instrumental in setting up trade routes between Europe and the Far East. From various lookouts points you will see sweeping views of the lighthouses, coastlines and pristine scenery.

Chapman's Peak Drive is well known as the most scenic drive in Cape Town. Affectionately known as “Chappies” by the locals, it is a must for anyone who wants to experience the majestic Cape Town scenery. On one side there are sheer drops to the sea below and on the other side towering mountains rising above you. The twists and curves in the road seem endless, a true photographer's dream!
