"While Cape Point is not, in fact, the southernmost tip of Africa—as is often claimed—it is generally accepted that the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet somewhere between here and the real tip, Cape Agulhas. Still, Cape Point is about as dramatic as you can get, with the land falling steeply away on three sides, the wind whipping around the cliffs, and the ocean churning below. The road to the point, at the end of a drive from Cape Town , goes through 20 miles of nature reserve full of baboons and antelopes. For those who don’t want to walk up to the lighthouse, there is a funicular, but to reach the point itself, you’re going to have to hike."

Cape point, or Cape of Good Hope, is located inside the Table Mountain National Park of Cape Town. It is located at the southeast corner of Cape peninsula. I visited the place in October, when it was spring season at this place, I must say this is the best time to visit Cape Town. It is about a 2.5 hours journey from Cape town, however the journey in between is so pretty that you enjoy every bit of it. Along the journey you are passing on a coastal road which has breath taking sea views. Also, you pass through beautiful mountains covered with sooo much beautiful natural flora and fauna that you would not have seen in any other part of the world. The natural wild growing flowers of this area are very unique and I was taken aback by their beauty. Unfortunately, I was not able to take pictures of many of these as you see these during your journey and you cannot stop the transport at every spot. However still you can break your journey at many paces to take pictures and for relaxation. Cape point itself is very beautiful. On reaching the place you take a shuttle “Flying Dutchman “, to reach the uphill view point. At the top you still have a small hike to reach up or you can enjoy at the same level. Views at this place are remarkable. When you come down there is a souvenir shop at the spot. Excitement do not end here. On your way back you take a left turn from the main road and after a small ride you reach at the sea level view point. This itself is a very beautiful place to witness a beautiful sunset at southern east point of the Cape Peninsula. To add sensation to the site, wild ostriches were wandering here and there at the sea shore.

Heavy winds🌬, warm attire recommended🤧, beautiful vista ⛰️and breathtaking scenery🌊. This place/point is literally the End of our graceful continent and is forever the best spot of relaxation. Too tired to go for a hike? No problem, the place provides a tram🚋 to take you straight to the top and back down. Don't forget to check out the souvenirs and watch your step🫠

What an amazing experience! Visiting Cape Point felt like standing at the edge of the world! The views are unreal — cliffs, endless ocean, and fresh sea air that just makes you feel alive. We hiked up to the old lighthouse and the views from the top were worth every step. Spotted a few baboons and even some ostriches along the way, which made the trip even more fun. The whole place feels peaceful and wild at the same time. Definitely one of the highlights of our Cape Town trip! 🌊🌿

Simply awesome. Walk all the way up to the lighthouse and then hike to the Cape of Good Hope. An epic and beautiful adventure. We saw baboons, an ostrich, a zebra, and a caracal!
