Spend the day tracing the curve of the Cape Peninsula, where penguins nest among boulders, baboons cause the odd traffic jam, and fishing villages give way to wild coastal roads, some of the best in Africa. This is the Cape's gentler side, filled with natural charm, character and nature
Begin your day with a slow morning in Kalk Bay, a quirky coastal town known for its tidal pools, harbour, and excellent pastries. Pause for coffee and something delicious from the bakery, take an optional dip in the tidal pools, and spend time browsing the local galleries and boutiques.
From there, it's on to Boulders Beach, home to a thriving colony of endangered African penguins. Skip the queue and find a quieter spot for a closer look, without the crowds.
At Cape Point Nature Reserve, your guide will lead you through the dramatic southern tip of the peninsula. Here, you'll pause for our signature picnic lunch in a scenic, secluded lookout with great food, panoramic views, and fresh ocean air.
The return journey takes the Atlantic route home: through Scarborough, past the surf breaks at Misty Cliffs, over the famous Chapman's Peak Drive (with a photo stop, of course), and back along the Atlantic Seaboard. It's a fitting final stretch for a day spent taking the long way round, with the best views saved for last.
This is your day to shape. If you want to skip a stop or slow down along the way, your guide will adjust as you go.
