We set off from Quilombo for Boulders Beach to see the Cape Jackass Penguins up close in the flesh. Then on to the tip of the Cape Peninsula where you find Cape Point within the Table Mountain National Park.
The expansive Table Mountain National Park stretches from Signal Hill and Table Mountain in the north to Cape Point in the south and encompasses the seas and coastline of the whole peninsula. Within Cape Point the treacherous cliffs forming the most southwestern tip of Africa are some of the highest in the world and mark the spot where the cold Beguela current from Antartica on the West coast and the warm Agulhus current coming down from Mozambique on the East coast merge.
Inside the reserve you will find a variety of animals including buck, baboons and Cape Mountain Zebra as well as over 250 species of birds
and indigenous flora that is found nowhere else in the world. Take a scenic drive, stop at one of the many picnic spots and tidal pools and travel to the Lighthouse lookout by funicular or on foot for spectacular views.
*Entrance fees are R75 for adults and R10 for scholars.
*There is also a well stocked curio shop, restaurant and a new visitors centre.
*DO NOT feed or try to touch the baboons. They are wild animals and can be aggressive.
