Highlights
- Cape Town Stadium (Green Point Stadium) - Tour starts in the city and first point of interest is passing the stadium build for 2010 Fifa World Cup Football.
- Clifton - We drive through Clifton which is considered to be the most expensive real estate in Africa, with properties reaching USD14,000,000 The 4 small beaches 1st to 4th is the place to be during the summer months.
- Camps Bay - Our first stop 15 minutes after leaving the city will be at Maidens Cove where you will have the chance to take a pic or two of the magnificent Camps Bay beach and Twelve Apostles which continues along the back of Table Mountain.
- Llandudno - Beautiful Llundudno is also where the rich and famous stays. Formula One World Champion, Michael Schumacher use to spend time here at his private holiday home.
- Hout Bay - Hout Bay was a popular place back in 1652 when the Dutch came to set up a replenishment station in Cape Town. They use to fetch timber from there to mend ships and use for construction. Today it is a small fishing boat harbour.
- Chapman’s Peak Drive - Rated as one of the most scenic drives in the world. This 13km long pass with it’s 114 bends and turns was constructed from 1915-1922. We will stop at the look out point with views over Hout Bay, Duiker Island Seal Colony and Kommetjie.
- Noordhoek Beach - This must be the biggest beach in the Western Cape. Popular for horse riding and surfing. From the vantage point above the beach you can see as far as False Bay.
- Kommetjie - If you’re a surfer then you would of heard of this beach before. Popular little village during the hippie era and still a very laidback place. We will have our first toilet break here (because it’s clean) and stand on the wooden deck capturing the beauty of this place and watch a surfer or two doing their magic on the waves.
- Cape Point Ostrich Farm - This is the fun stop of the tour. Visit the shop where they sell all the beautiful products made from ostrich leather, painted shells etc. The fun starts when you have the opportunity to feed the ostriches. This provides lots of laughs and good photo opportunities.
- Cape of Good Hope - When you come to Cape Town then this is a must see. The park has 1094 indigenous plant species, a few animals namely, Bontebok, Eland, Zebra, Ostrich, Duiker, Caracal, Baboons etc. If you here during August to December then you are sure to see some beautiful flowers in bloom. We will go to the most southwestern point of Africa where you will be served tea & coffee plus a biscuit/cookie. Known as the Cape of Storms the ocean around here is always a beautiful sight.
- Old Cape Point Lighthouse - We go up to the lighthouse on the only commercial funicular in Africa. Once at the top we climb 114 steps to the old lighthouse 238m above sea-level build 1859 from where you will be spoilt with the most spectacular views in Cape Town. From one of the other vantage points you can catch a glimpse of the new lighthouse from 1919, once the most powerful in the world with 19 million candle power.
- Boulders Beach Penguin Colony - A must see when in Cape Town. African penguins started this colony in 1982 and today there is just over 2000 birds at this beach. November/December it gets a bit smelly with most of the birds being in their malting stage for 3 weeks long. These birds are on the protected species list and numbers are sadly still dropping. They always provide a good laugh with their funny waddle and strange things they get up to.
- Seaforth Beach - Lunch is in walking distance from penguin colony. Normally at Seaforth Restaurant, but this changes depending on dietary requirements or seating available.
- Boyes Drive - A quick stop on Boyes Drive at the Shark Spotters hut for a view down to Muizenberg beach. This is also the end of False Bay and from here you can see Cape Point and Hangklip on the other side of the bay. From June to November whale sightings is a possibility.
- Buitenverwachting - One of the 9 wine routes in South Africa with its 11 estates you can visit for a tasting. We will visit one of these fine estates where you will have a choice of tasting whites and reds. The area is know for its Sauvignon cultivar which loves the cool sea breeze blowing from False Bay during the summer months. After a lazy afternoon of tasting we will head back to the city where you will be dropped off around 5 at your hotel or other accommodation.

Excellent tour of the Cape! - We had a fantastic time spending the day with Ian in the Cape! He was very knowledgeable and made the day fun! He even went above and beyond to take us to the airport to collect my friend's missing suitcase. I would highly recoomend employing African Moon for your South African adventures. Thank you for a fabulous day!

Cape of Good Hope tour ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - We had an amazing time on this tour!!! My gf and I loved all the viewpoints, activities and the overall experience. Ian the guide was super knowledgeable and was very communicative. He speaks perfect English and Afrikaans which was so cool to hear!
His van was brand new and super clean, and stocked with water, tea, coffee, snacks etc. He arranged the tour such that we arrived to every destination at the perfect time and never had to wait. He even knew what time the funicular’s power was cut, so we caught the last tram downhill just minutes before they lost power (rolling blackouts).
He took great pics and suggested the best spots to take photos. I really can’t say enough great things about Ian, the tour, and Cape Town.
Five stars without a doubt!!!!
