🗺️ Your Peninsula Itinerary

01. Table Mountain & Bo-Kaap We begin with an early ascent of Table Mountain to beat the crowds. After soaking in the views, we head to the Bo-Kaap to explore the 1790s-built Auwal Mosque and capture the rainbow-colored houses of the Cape Malay community.

02. The Atlantic Seaboard & Chapman’s Peak We drive through the upscale Camps Bay and Hout Bay, leading into the majestic Chapman’s Peak Drive. We’ll pause at the best lookout points to photograph the dramatic cliffs and the turquoise Atlantic waters.

03. Cape Point & The Cape of Good Hope Enter the Cape Point Nature Reserve to stand at the edge of the continent. Watch for wildlife like baboons and Cape eland as we head to the Cape Point Lighthouse. Here, you’ll witness the dramatic power of the ocean where the two currents meet.

04. Simons Town & The Penguins We stop at the historic Simons Town for a taste of naval culture before visiting the stars of the show: the African Penguins at Boulders Beach. Wander the protected boardwalks for an up-close (but respectful) look at these charming creatures.

05. Return via Muizenberg Our journey back to the city takes us along the False Bay coast, passing the colorful beach huts of Muizenberg—the perfect final photo of an unforgettable day.
