Wonderful Cape Town, South Africa Slideshow Plus Coast, Cape Of Good Hope, Simons Town!
This slideshow was made as we showed some friends around Cape Town. We start with some time we spent in the city itself. This includes the downtown and Victoria and Albert waterfront areas as well as going inside of the Castle Of Good Hope which was built in 1666. Then we take you up to the top of the famous Table Mountain, one of the New7Wonders Of Nature- up above the clouds! Then we go down the beautiful coastal areas to the Cape Of Good Hope where we eat lunch and see lots of interesting wildlife, some up close! Then we go to Simons Town to see the penguins during a downpour! No animals were harmed shooting this video and no cell phones were used! I did use the following Panasonic cameras: DC GH5, LX10 and G85. Hope you enjoy the tour!

6 Weeks In Africa
Week 1
Simons Town and Surrounds
After a long trip from our home in South Australia, we landed in Cape Town, and drove down to Simons Town, for our first few days of our South African adventure.
It was both exhilarating and daunting being in a completely new place, we managed to find our way to Simons Town without maps, and found driving past all the Cape Flats really interesting.
Upon arriving in Simons Town, we loved the beauty of the place, and were excited to explore its surroundings.
We visited a couple of different spots with African Penguins, the most impressive being Boulders Beach, I was so happy to see such an effort to protect the species, beautiful coastal reserve for them, and artificial homes built into the dunes to ensure warmth for every penguin!
We visited Cape Point/ Cape Of Good Hope, which is stunning, and reminds me a lot of home. It was windy, but beautiful! Some animals we saw along the way were Chacma Baboons, Eland, and Rock Dassie’s.
We hunted down some surf through Kommetjie and Scarborough, which wasn’t a huge success but absolutely loved the towns, and the coastline.
I was a HUGE fan of Whole Earth Cafe in Scarborough, so great to meet some fellow vegans, and chat to some very friendly locals, who also gave us some advice where to stay further up north in our travels.

We took turns riding in the sidecar and on the back of the motorcycle as we visited Muizenberg, Simon's Town, Shark Spotters, Boulders Beach (to visit a penguin colony), Cape Point, The Cape of Good Hope, Chapman's Peak and Camps Bay just to name a few. Overall, it was an awesome outing and something we highly recommend for anybody visiting Cape Town or Stellenbosch.

Cape Peninsula Tour by Sidecar | South Africa Travel Vlog video transcript:
Well good morning good morning. It is a beautiful day here in Cape Town. And today we're going on an excursion. We're going to be traveling down to the Cape Peninsula. But this just isn't any regular tour. We are going in sidecars. Yeah. Sidecars.
So confession time. We actually did a sidecar tour when we were in Stellenbosch last week but it was a taster. It was a very short tour. This time around it is a full day thing. All day.
Yeah, I'd say this is a better fit. So we're just suiting up here. So I'm putting it on the leather jacket and next up is the bandana.
That fits good doesn't it Audrey? Double jackets. Looking good. It is winter here in Cape Town so biker gal.
And the coolest thing I have to say about this helmet is just the sunglasses. They are kind of like sunglass goggles.
So for now you can take this down but if you need it when you're on the bike if you're behind another car or fumes or a lot of wind in your face just pop it up.
I'm going to make bikers out of you today. Bradley is going to make a biker out of us.
Okay, first stop on the tour. First stop of the day. So we're basically overlooking Muizenberg here. Yeah. And we've got some incredible views. Like way off in the distance you can see some mist and we've just got like yeah such a nice day. This time of year it should be like cold and rainy but we've really lucked out.
So our next stop here is at the Shark Spotters and this guy is actually looking for sharks down in the water because there is a whole bunch of surfers down there.
So we made it to the Cape of Good Hope so we're paying our fee. It is a 135 Rand per person.
Sammy boy. You've been riding in the sidecar all along. How are you enjoying it? It has been so cool.
So we made it to the Cape of Good Hope and this is the South-Western most point on the African continent. There is this big sign where you can have your photo taken.
We're egging Sam on to see how close he can get to the ostrich.
So we grabbed a snack. Spicy beef biltong and we've also ordered pizzas. And we love our biltong. Let's start with biltong.
And for those who have never tried Biltong it is basically like the South African style of jerky.
I've seen signs here for baboons. Apparently they roam around and they like to steal your food.
Alright, time for the big unveil. We ordered pizza. The Napolitan.
This one has avocado, bacon and feta.
The update is we are out of breath but enjoying the views from the top. Oh, come on. It wasn't that hard of a climb. If we come here a 3rd time I'm taking the funicular.
Next up we have made it to Boulders Beach where the main attraction is penguins, penguins and more penguins. There is a colony of penguins here and we're going to go check it out.
So time for an update. We are currently driving Chapman's Peak and I think this is probably the most beautiful part of the drive so far today. The scenery is just stunning and the color of the water it is like turquoise and blue and green. I know. And the sun is out. And it is just incredible and that is saying a lot because most of the scenery on this drive today has been really incredible but this just takes the cake and then the icing on top with the cherry. Oh, it has got everything.
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.

Cape Town - Top 10 things to do

Cape Town
Cape Town, South Africa is known as the Mother City and has much to offer visitors . To make things easier we thought we would put together a video showing some Cape Town attractions you might be interested in seeing.
There are few places in the world where you can get up close to penguins like you can at Boulders Beach. This penguin colony is near Simonstown. There are two sections, one with boardwalks and viewing areas. The other allows visitors to share a beach with penguins.
Camps Bay is one of the trendiest parts of Cape Town. It has a great beach, plenty of restaurants and a terrific view on the sunsets. It is set against the Twelve Apostles. This is a mountain ridge that joins with Table Mountain, which separates Camps Bay from the centre of Cape Town.
The Victoria and Alfred Watefront (or V and A) is the most popular attraction South Africa with regard to numbers. It has a good choice of restaurants, bars, shops and accommodation. Many of Cape Town's top hotels are here.
If you want to visit Nelson Mandela's prison cell on Robben Island you can catch a boat from here.
Cape Town is surrounded by the Cape Winelands. There are mountains and valleys so the scenery is worth the visit by itself. You can also stop at winefarms for tasting sessions. The oldest winefarm, Groot Constantia, is in the Constantia area.
Hout Bay is within easy reach of the city centre and still operates as a fishing port. The best way to reach here is by taking the scenic Chapman's Peak drive. There are boat tours here to Seal Island just off the coast. This is a seal colony on a rocky outcrop.
For nature-lovers there is also Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. This sits on the slopes of Devil's Peak and is again not far from Cape Town city centre. It has only indigenous plants and many Capetonians bring picnics here or enjoy one of the concerts held in the gardens.
Company's Garden is a park in the centre of Cape Town. Around it are museums and the Parliament Building. This is where early Dutch settlers grew fruit and vegetables for passing ships. It is within reach of the bars of Long Street.
Cape Point is situated in the world heritage site that is the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. It has an incredible range of flora and fauna. This is where many of the early explorers landed. You can go to the lighthouse and look down on the tip of the peninsula.
Table Mountain dominates the skyline in Cape Town. You can either hike up to the top or take a cable car. The top is flat(hence the name) so you can take a number of walking trails, but make sure you check the weather ahead of your visit.
At we have dozens of video guides on Cape Town. We also have information on Cape Town hotels and accommodation.
