Cape Point

Anyone travelling to Cape Town must visit to the Cape Point as well. Cape Point has something to offer everyone, whether its breathtaking natural beauty, or the opportunity to go for the cycling, walking and hiking; especially not to miss the hiking trail CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.

Amazing views! Get in touch with a little Cape History of the lighthouse and surroundings! Rather steep walk up to the lighthouse but worth it when you get to the top😎

Annual trip to Cape Point is always the best. I love the fact that there are South African resident rates because I definitely could not afford the R400+ rate. Even though the funicular was put of service. The walk up is quite fun and can be very entertaining if you make the most out of it. No need to rush and you get to slow down to see some amazing things. First time ever I got to see various species of animals and reptiles. I love the fact I got to see caracal. It might have been windy in the morning but it definitely helped with the walk up to the lighthouse. As it got extremely hot after 11am. I love the fact that it feels like another world and you would never say that this is part of South Africa. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone. It is the best mini roadtrip to complete.

This is the southernmost point of the world, located near Cape Town, South Africa. It is a place where you can feel that the world is spacious and has a lot to do while looking at clean and majestic mountains, endless open seas, and unique-looking mountains.

A luvly place to visit, on our tour bus, beautiful views from the beach, or walk up the hill. Our bus took us to the top, where we went on the vehicular to visit the old lighthouse, or go for a walk on the paths. Njoyed our visit :) :)

The ideal Cape Town tourist destination. You may enjoy the sun, sand, sea, and wind. It's quite windy outside. The trip to the lighthouse takes 20 minutes (round trip). There are two options: take the cable car or go trekking. If you want to save money and avoid crowds, prepare lunch for yourself before you arrive.

So magical and serene, the waters and mountains ❤️😍 and there's lots of animals running free ! Definitely will go again and again
