Day trip

Cape Point & Penguins: The Full Peninsula

Cape Town· South Africa

8.9

The peninsula loop earns its reputation: the corniche curves of Chapman's Peak, African penguins doing their unbothered waddle at Boulders, and the lighthouse cliffs at Cape Point where the sea genuinely looks like the edge of a map. Small vans, unhurried stops, decent picnic. Two honest notes — Chapman's Peak closes in high wind and the route reroutes without refund, and no, Cape Point is not where the two oceans meet, whatever the fridge magnets say.
