Private guided Full Day Tour of the magnificent Cape Peninsula, Kirstenbosch and Cape Point Nature Reserve. Your private driver/guide will collect you from your hotel at 09h30. The day starts at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which boasts the greatest collection of flora in Southern Africa - representing 12 000 species of plants from the Cape Floral Kingdom. We then drive over Ou Kaapse Weg mountain pass and along the scenic Atlantic seaboard, famous for its white beaches, surfing and glorious sunsets, until we enter the Cape Point Nature Reserve. This pristine national park lies at the south-western most tip of Africa, and is one of the most rugged and magnificent places on the continent, with secluded beaches and mountain fynbos, including many of the Cape's famous Protea flower species. This is the place where some people claim the Indian and Atlantic oceans meet. Although there is a marked difference between the temperature of the ocean on either side of this narrow peninsula, it is more accurate that this is the meeting point of the warm Mozambique current and the cold Benguella current. You will then visit the African penguin colony at Boulders beach, Simonstown, followed by lunch at one of the fine restaurants overlooking the rocks and pounding surf of False Bay. A visit to the traditional fishing harbour of Kalk Bay is a colourful experience as fishermen land the daily catch. This is followed by a visit to some of the eclectic shops and trading stores lining the coast road, after which you make your way back to your hotel. The tour ends around 17h30. Duration: 8 hours |
