Welcome to Cape Town! I consider this to be one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. For the next couple of days, I am going to be exploring the city, it’s surroundings and showing you the must dos!
First stop is Downtown Cape Town. This is Greenmarket square the biggest and first market in Cape Town. Here you can find all types of souvenirs. What I am looking for today are elephant hair bracelets.
Greenmarket square is an authentic African market where artist and traders come to sell their arts, fabrics, sculptures and bead work.
Next we head to the artsy district of Woodstock. Throughout the district you can see street art everywhere!
Now for the most iconic site in Cape Town. We made it to the top of Table Mountain the iconic landmark of Cape Town. It’s a flat top mountain and there are two ways to get to the top.
Table Mountain has been proclaimed one of the new seven natural wonders of the world! And they say from up here you get one of the most epic views in Africa.
Table Mountain is considered to be of the world’s most beautiful natural wonders. It is also South Africa’s most photographed attraction. If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s even possible to rappel down the mountain.
Over 800,000 people visit the mountain each year! If you’re planning a visit, remember that the mountain is sometimes overcast, so if you arrive on a clear day, take the opportunity!
An interesting fact about Table Mountain is that it dates back 600,000,000 years making it one of the oldest mountains in the world! Now lets go down to the next mountain.
Lions Head is a 2,200 foot mountain in between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It takes around 90 minutes and they say the views from up there are incredible, now lets start our hike!
Like I said, there is only one way up and its by hiking so remember to wear sneakers and bring lots of water! From the top of Lions Head you will get some of the best views in Cape Town. Remember to take pictures of people sitting on the edges of the rock!
We are here with Cape Town Helicopters and we are about to take a 15 minute ride at 2500 ft! Now lets hit the sky for an even better view. Cape Town is known for its dramatic coastline and there’s is no better way to see it than from the sky!
If you’re looking for an epic sunset, then I recommend you head to Bakoven beach. This was once a small fishing village and from here you can get an incredible sunset from the rocks.
One of the best hotels on the water is Tintswalo Atlantic. This is one of the most unique properties I have ever stayed at. They have 10 rooms and a presidential suite, you cant get closer to the water I guarantee it!
Here are a few day trip options from Cape Town, just a 45-minute drive south. We have arrived at Boulders Beach home to the youngest African penguin colony.
This is one of few places in the world where you can see penguins up close. They have been wandering freely here since 1982, and the colony currently has more then 3,000 members. The boulders after which the beach is names date back over 540 million years!
Now let’s head down to Cape Point! Welcome to Cape Point, the southwestern most point of Africa. It’s located only a one hour drive south from Cape Town and you have to see it.
Cape Point is located within Table Mountain National Park in a section referred to as ‘Cape of Good Hope.’ This area of the park is wild and unspoiled – a very important haven for seabirds.
I left the best for last! Most people shudder at the thought of great white sharks that live in the waters off Cape Town, but we decided to be more adventurous and dive in and take a swim with their favorite prey, sea lions!
Animal Ocean offers adventure seekers the rare chance to get up close and personal with these beautiful animals. We departed from Houts Bay, to a nearby island that’s a bit shallow for the sharks.
After the Wetsuit is on, we dive in! The water was freezing and a bit murky, but the seals aren’t shy at all. They’re playful and graceful. Truly an unforgettable experience!

10 Best Places to Visit in South Africa - Travel Video
South Africa has all of the features that travelers long for in a vacation destination: fine weather, gorgeous scenery, great beaches, modern accommodations and superb cuisine. The southern tip of Africa also offers an exotic array of once-in-a-lifetime adventures, from off-roading on a safari to diving with great white sharks. It’s hard to name another holiday destination that offers as much variety. Here’s a look ash the best places to visit in South Africa.
Touring Cape Point in Cape Town, South Africa
With our time extremely limited in Cape Town, we decided to take a Cape Point Peninsula tour to cover as many of the main scenic attractions in the surrounding area as we possibly could. Our hectic day included visiting Seal Island, Boulders Penguin Colony, and the Cape of Good Hope doing boat tours, hiking and biking. We spotted wild Ostriches and Baboons. At one point we spotted a baboon on top of a car with the lady inside freaking out. To say the day was eventful would be an understatement; however, the one wrinkle was that the weather was quite crappy. I really wish we could have done this tour on a nicer day.

Touring Cape Point in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Video Transcript:
So, good morning from rainy Cape Town. Today we've signed up to do a Cape Point and Peninsula tour. So we're going to be traveling down to Cape Point by bus. We're also hauling some bicycles along. So once we get there we're planning to go biking, do a little bit of hiking and we're going to see some sights along the way. It should be fun and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the rain holds off.
So this morning we're taking a boat tour to Seal Island and hopefully we'll spot some seals along the way.
We're going in search of penguins.
I've seemed to spot a rather large unusual penguin over here. It looks rather uncoordinated. And a little bit silly.
So we're not allowed to get too close to the penguins. They may be cute but they're quite vicious with their little beaks.
Alright, so this is where the fun begins. We've arrived at the Cape of Good Hope and right now we're unloading the bikes. We're going to get all suited up and get ready to go biking. Finally!
We're biking in a National Park and apparently it could be a bit like a mini safari. There has been a lot of animals spotted here. Especially baboons.
Having fun so far? I am but I look a little bit ridiculous but I'm trying to stay warm. It is windy out here.
Okay, so we've just finished biking five kilometers. Now it is time for our delicious lunch. What do we have? I'm going to enjoy this. We've got a lovely sandwich and Malay macaroni salad. I can't wait for that salad. Yeah, so we're going to fuel up and then keep biking for another six point five kilometers. So we need our energy.
Alright, so we have arrived at the Cape of Good Hope. This is the southwestern most point on the African continent. So as you can see over there lots of people snapping their photos.
The weather is still not cooperating with us. It is cold, it is wet, it is raining but we're still going to go for a hike so let's go find our guide and get going.
Smart phone? Hello? Aaahahaha. Go away! Okay guys, keep all windows locked. They smell food. Wow, she is screaming.
Well we didn't spot animals while we were actually on our bikes. But while we were in the vehicle we saw ostriches and we saw baboons. And the baboons were being crazy. One was right on top of a vehicle and a lady freaked out totally.
And that concludes our Cape Point tour. The sun is just coming out just as we're about to leave. That is just how it is sometimes.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa series. We're making a series of videos showcasing South African culture, South African arts, South African foods, South African religion, South African cuisine and South African people.

30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

A Day at Exotic Cape Point - South Africa | Where two oceans meet | Places to see in Cape Town
Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula.
