Guest Reviews
Cape of Good Hope - Africa's southwestern tip was emotional! At R350, trekking windswept headlands and snapping the iconic signpost photo was a bucket-list moment. Watching for ostriches and baboons while exploring this mythical point where oceans meet was surreal. The dramatic cliffs and pounding waves create an atmosphere of raw natural power. Our guide shared stories of shipwrecks and early explorers rounding the Cape. The endemic fynbos vegetation is unique and beautiful. We spotted eland, bontebok, and Cape mountain zebras. The hiking trails offer spectacular views. This historically significant landmark where Bartolomeu Dias proved the sea route to India is unmissable!
Cape of Good Hope é espetacular! Following Portuguese navigator Dias's footsteps to Africa's southwestern tip was powerful! The R350 tour to this windswept headland was perfectly organized. The iconic signpost photo is mandatory - standing where Atlantic meets Indian Ocean! Watching for wildlife while trekking the headlands was exciting - we saw ostriches, baboons, and various antelope. The dramatic coastline with massive waves crashing against cliffs is mesmerizing. Learning about the Cape's maritime history and numerous shipwrecks was sobering. The unique vegetation adapted to harsh conditions is fascinating. This is where history and nature combine perfectly!
