On road bikes or mountain bikes, it is great exploring the reserve. And when you get to the point, the cappuccino's are a mus. If you buy a small snack you can even get to feed a striped mouse. Great for the kids to experience. Get there so that you can get to the point before say 10h30 before the... More

If you visit Cape Town you must go to the Cape of Good Hope, where the Indian Ocean and Atlantic Ocean come together, the drive there is spectacular, and the scenery superb. Luckily we saw ostrich, zebras, baboons and tortoises along the roadside near the beach there, as well as coach loads of Japanese tourists!, it is certainly very busy,... More

Very scenic, very very windy ....... another place not to miss. You can use the cable car (49R return fare) or walk up. It is fascinating to see Indian Ocean and Atlantic ocean coming together. If you are wearing caps/hats, better take care of them else they will fly with the winds :)

This is a beautiful place to visit. Incredible nature, two giant oceans meeting, fantastic views, walks etc. This is a must if you´re in the Cape area. Lucky seeing some wildlife on the road as well.

Besides a slight problem with parking at both Cape Point and Cape of Good Hope, the visit is a pleasure for all ages. The walk up to Cape Point is relatively easy but the funicular is available for those less energetic. The views all around of False Bay are fantastic and the air is so refreshing. The visits to the... More

The Cape of Good Hope was very windy with very beautiful views of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. It’s a long journey to get to the park from Cape Town, but the drive is very scenic. Make certain you bring clothing to stay warm in the wind. The journey took almost the whole day, but afforded us to eat at... More
