Today enjoy a full day private tour around the beautiful Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve peninsula.
We drive past the sparkling beaches of Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno to Hout Bay, the heart of the local crayfish industry, where we take a short boat trip to Seal Island to view Cape Fur seals.
We then continue via spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive to Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve to enjoy the rugged beauty of this spectacular coastline, with its diverse fauna and flora. Established in 1936 to preserve the indigenous flora of the Cape Peninsula, this 7,750 hectare reserve showcases the diversity in the Cape Floral Kingdom, including the protea, erica and restio families. The fauna of the reserve include eland, Burchell’s zebra, bontebok, Chacma baboon and many smaller mammals and reptiles, as well as over 250 bird species. You may even see dolphins or whales in season (July to November). The funicular up to the Old Lighthouse is included.
On the return journey we pass through naval Simons Town to visit the resident penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
