Tourist Attractions & Monuments South Africa

There are many hiking trails from 15 km to 30 km. We recommend that you make a 3-hour loop (IGN card 3418 AB-AD - 1: 50 000; 10 R at the Park Office at Lakeside). The Offering Camp is a great place to go down, in rustic but luxurious wooden cabins hanging on the cliff. Barbecue areas also available.

A hike leads to Peers caves, where the bones and tools of an old 12 000-year-old gentleman are found in the Fish Hoek Valley Museum. Rock paintings, poorly preserved (tags don't hold anything), is still apparent.

A very pleasant walk between Muizenberg and Saint James, along a concrete walkway among the rocks. You'll see waves crashing on the rocks, fishermen, and whales in the bay, when they're around from late August to early October. Watch out for the shower - the waves can be very strong! When the sea calms down, the tops of the kelp forests appear on the surface. Then, as the sun sets, the colors shimmer and bring all the sweetness of a successful end to the day.

In 1708, Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel was recalled to Holland by the Company. He didn't enjoy his "Versailles" in South Africa for very long, a residence that is now a listed monument. Vergelegen is now owned by the Anglo-American company, which has decided to revive wine production while maintaining fruit production. Taste the sublime Vergeleguen red and white blends. The octagonal garden is unique in South Africa, with its wine storehouse twisted ten meters off the ground at the top of the hill. Never seen before!

Inaugurated in 2005, this beautiful museum of contemporary art opened by the famous South African family offers more than 350 works from the private family collection from 1940 to 1970. You will find local artists, but also works by Rodin or Kathe Kollwitz. The collections are carefully selected. Above all, the museum's architecture and its pretty café are worth a visit. The Ruppert is part of an interesting event dynamic and now offers yoga classes at the museum every Thursday in the Marker Studio.

An isolated beautiful beach. To get there, follow the coastal road after Gansbaai.

Barbaros is a madman of adrenaline and sport. Since he quité the Turkie, his native land, and settled in Cape Town, he is not tired of walking through the beautiful motorcycle roads, running, swimming, diving with or without the sharks and also having his agency run very seriously. In addition to the typical Cape Town tours, Southern Routes also offers a tour of the peninsula lights. An original option for the fans of these monuments and also for those who like to make beautiful photos.

A natural swimming pool carved into rocks, located on the seafront on the Sea Point promenade. It is marked only during low tide. Ideal for those who are not afraid of the icy waters of the ocean but which is apprehensive quite strong waves on the beaches. Many children.

This 36 000 ha private reserve is one of the best in Waterberg, because it counts the Big 5 (including two groups of many lions), cheetahs, a couple of hippos and many of the bush's animals and 300 bird species. The landscape is very varied. The reserve has only a few exclusive exclusive walls and is not open to South African non-residents, so visitors are quiet to observe the animals.

It's Cape Town's new arts and creative economy hub. A large arts and cultural centre housed in a former factory, much like today's Woodstock district. In the workshops and offices, young companies, designers, draftsmen, photographers and other artists constitute a real economic incubator for design and artistic creation. There are also two cafés, numerous designer clothing stores, a trendy hairdresser... and street art murals everywhere. A real hipster hangout.

Kalk Bay Harbour: one of the last active fishing harbours on the Cape Peninsula. Located in Kalk Bay, about 30 km from Cape Town, the harbour is emblematic with its colourful boats and seals waddling on the docks! Some good restaurants, fish of course! You can get fresh fish from the fishermen, or have some ready-made meals to enjoy on the quay at Lucky Fish. Kalk Bay Harbour is a must-see when you stay in Cape Town, especially when the boats land.

Long Beach is one of the most spectacular beaches in Cape Town: 8 km of powdery white sand. Located in the seaside village of Kommetjie, it is a fantastic destination for surfing and body boarding.

There are some nice walks to do, one of them passes a well preserved wreck, Kakapo. If you like horseback riding, you can also have a good time.

Kiff Kombi Tours' goal was to create alternative excursions in Cape Town! The founders of the company are proud to organize fun and original itineraries and experiences. Their goal: to plunge into the unexplored territories of the city in a colorful mini Van! It all started with a remnant, the VW Kombi named Veronica, and then the young Trevor, the Toyota Van, took over and was decked out in the latest street clothes, making it the most fashionable and trendy van on the streets of Cape Town. Favourite.
