Start in Cape Town and meander around the eastern slopes of the Table Mountain range to the Southern Suburbs, past the University of Cape Town and into Newlands. 

Drive through the campus of the oldest school in South Africa dating back to 1829 and continue through the oak-lined avenues and lush green suburbs. A drive through the Constantia valley to Muizenberg and along Boyes Drive, through the coastal towns of St James, Kalk Bay, Fish Hoek and Simonstown.  

Stop at various scenic points of interest for photographs and some history lessons.

Visit the unique colony of Jackass penguins at the Boulders before entering the floral reserve of the Cape Point Nature Reserve, home to many species of fynbos, reptiles and birds.  

Take a funicular ride to the lighthouse at the tip of the Peninsula at Cape Point whcih makes a perfect vantage position to view the Cape of Good Hope. 

Stop for lunch at the restaurant perched on top of the cliffs at Cape Point or my favorite, a takeaway sandwich and beer at the water’s edge away from the curious baboons and other tourists.

Enjoy a scenic drive along the Atlantic Coast taking in Scarborough, Kommetjie, Noordhoek over the breathtaking Chapman’s Peak Drive to Hout Bay, Llandudno, Camps Bay, Clifton and Sea Point ends this wonderful day’s excursion.
