Description
Cape of Good Hope
Experience rugged coastlines and unspoiled beauty as you wind your way along the shores of the Cape Peninsula to the mythical meeting place of two great oceans at Cape Point. The Cape Peninsula Half Day Tour is one of the most breathtaking day trips one can take when visiting Cape Town. The day tour starts in Cape Town city centre and travels along the Atlantic seaboard taking in some of the magnificent Cape Town beaches. This fully guided experience allows one to take in the scenic beauty and be entertained by fascinating stories and interesting historical facts relating to Cape Town and the settlement of the peninsula.
The Penguin Colony
African Penguins used to be known as jackass penguins because of their distinctive braying, and they’re the only penguins found on the continent. Colonies can be found from southern Namibia all the way around the South African coast to Port Elizabeth, but few places offer as remarkable a viewing point as Boulders Beach
Bo-Kaap – About the Neighborhood
The Bo-Kaap is one of Cape Town’s most distinct neighbourhoods known for its vibrant, predominantly Muslim, Cape Malay community and its equally bold flat-roofed colourful houses and cobbled stone roads.
Situated at the foot of Signal Hill, on the fringe of the city centre, and formerly known as the Malay Quarter, the Bo-Kaap’s origins date back to the 1760s when numerous “huurhuisjes” (rental houses) were built and leased to slaves and political exiles brought here from other Dutch colonies in the east including Indonesia’s Batavia, Sumatra, Java and also East Africa. Most of these groups spoke some Malay, hence this new community becoming known as the Cape Malays.
