"No trip to Cape Town is complete without the half-day Cape Peninsula drive, heading to the southwesternmost point of the African continent. This is where European ships rounded Africa en route to the east, and thanks to the rocky shores and temperamental waters, many never made it past. It's now a nature reserve, where you can go on hikes, climb up to the lighthouse at Cape Point, and pose with a sign at the Cape of Good Hope. Along the way, you'll likely spot some animals by the side of the road." - Sarah Khan

What an amazing place! A must see for all visitors. Try to plan your visit on a clear sunny day. Take snacks to enjoy in your car. Take a pair of binoculars too There is a place where you can buy your hot drinks and cakes. We walked up to the lighthouse. My favourite part was seeing the baboons and the drive around. 3 It was worth every penny!

A stunning spot nestled within the National Park (note: there is an entrance fee). If you're feeling adventurous, step onto the rocks and prepare to be amazed—it's like discovering a hidden world beneath you, teeming with marine life. During our visit, we were incredibly lucky to spot not just one, but two octopuses within just 30 minutes of exploring! An unforgettable experience for nature lovers.

The tip of Africa where history begin and ends. The place is amazing where you have to go up the mountain for 20 minutes walk up to light house with this sea breeze. Along the way there are several stops with amazing views. After you come down and take thousands of pictures you can enjoy a bite or have a proper meal at two oceans restaurants facing false bay Best experience

Cape of Good Hope is a popular spot for tourists to come and take pictures and please expect to be asked to be an ad hoc photographer. The vibe is chilled and everyone is very friendly and chatty - tourists especially like to ask locals questions about the area and South Africa so it makes for a good conversational environment. It's one of the few areas in the Cape Point Nature Reserve where wheelchair users can get out of the vehicle and move around a bit more freely. On a point to clear up a common myth: Cape Point is not the southern most tip of Africa, it's the most south-western point of the continent. There's a sign to that effect, but you still hear some guides saying it's the southern tip of Africa. From here, you can walk up to Cape Point along the marked Cape of Good Hope Scenic Walk which is not too difficult.

It’s a must visit destination when you are in Cape Town. Please do yourself a favour and visit this place! The views are surreal and just stunning. There’s also plenty of wildlife like ostriches, seals and baboons roaming around the national park. One thing to note: it gets pretty windy so bring a warm hat. None the photos were edited.

Must be spot! Easy to access and well secured. Clean and spacious parking. Stunning views towards Antartica! Access is paid at the main gate and from there about a 15-20 minute drive. What out for Bamboos - don’t feed them!

a wonderful place. it belongs to the national park, so the entrance is paid. you can get here by car. the climb up the mountain takes about 8 minutes for unprepared people. the view from the top is simply stunning. you can see a small island in the ocean where sea lions live. from here there is also a walking route leading to the lighthouse. I also want to draw your attention to the fact that it is very windy here, you need warm clothes.
