Welcome to Cape Town! I consider this to be one of the most beautiful cities in Africa. For the next couple of days, I am going to be exploring the city, it’s surroundings and showing you the must dos!
First stop is Downtown Cape Town. This is Greenmarket square the biggest and first market in Cape Town. Here you can find all types of souvenirs. What I am looking for today are elephant hair bracelets.
Greenmarket square is an authentic African market where artist and traders come to sell their arts, fabrics, sculptures and bead work.
Next we head to the artsy district of Woodstock. Throughout the district you can see street art everywhere!
Now for the most iconic site in Cape Town. We made it to the top of Table Mountain the iconic landmark of Cape Town. It’s a flat top mountain and there are two ways to get to the top.
Table Mountain has been proclaimed one of the new seven natural wonders of the world! And they say from up here you get one of the most epic views in Africa.
Table Mountain is considered to be of the world’s most beautiful natural wonders. It is also South Africa’s most photographed attraction. If you’re feeling adventurous, it’s even possible to rappel down the mountain.
Over 800,000 people visit the mountain each year! If you’re planning a visit, remember that the mountain is sometimes overcast, so if you arrive on a clear day, take the opportunity!
An interesting fact about Table Mountain is that it dates back 600,000,000 years making it one of the oldest mountains in the world! Now lets go down to the next mountain.
Lions Head is a 2,200 foot mountain in between Table Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean. It takes around 90 minutes and they say the views from up there are incredible, now lets start our hike!
Like I said, there is only one way up and its by hiking so remember to wear sneakers and bring lots of water! From the top of Lions Head you will get some of the best views in Cape Town. Remember to take pictures of people sitting on the edges of the rock!
We are here with Cape Town Helicopters and we are about to take a 15 minute ride at 2500 ft! Now lets hit the sky for an even better view. Cape Town is known for its dramatic coastline and there’s is no better way to see it than from the sky!
If you’re looking for an epic sunset, then I recommend you head to Bakoven beach. This was once a small fishing village and from here you can get an incredible sunset from the rocks.
One of the best hotels on the water is Tintswalo Atlantic. This is one of the most unique properties I have ever stayed at. They have 10 rooms and a presidential suite, you cant get closer to the water I guarantee it!
Here are a few day trip options from Cape Town, just a 45-minute drive south. We have arrived at Boulders Beach home to the youngest African penguin colony.
This is one of few places in the world where you can see penguins up close. They have been wandering freely here since 1982, and the colony currently has more then 3,000 members. The boulders after which the beach is names date back over 540 million years!
Now let’s head down to Cape Point! Welcome to Cape Point, the southwestern most point of Africa. It’s located only a one hour drive south from Cape Town and you have to see it.
Cape Point is located within Table Mountain National Park in a section referred to as ‘Cape of Good Hope.’ This area of the park is wild and unspoiled – a very important haven for seabirds.
I left the best for last! Most people shudder at the thought of great white sharks that live in the waters off Cape Town, but we decided to be more adventurous and dive in and take a swim with their favorite prey, sea lions!
Animal Ocean offers adventure seekers the rare chance to get up close and personal with these beautiful animals. We departed from Houts Bay, to a nearby island that’s a bit shallow for the sharks.
After the Wetsuit is on, we dive in! The water was freezing and a bit murky, but the seals aren’t shy at all. They’re playful and graceful. Truly an unforgettable experience!

The southern tip of Africa also offers an exotic array of once-in-a-lifetime adventures, from off-roading on a safari to diving with great white sharks.

Cape Agulhas, southernmost point of Africa - South Africa Travel Channel
Cape Agulhas in South Africa is the southernmost point of the African continent and about 150 km east of the Cape of Good Hope. The Cape marks the boundary between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans.
The clash of warm and cold ocean currents often leads to violent waves and was feared by the seafarers. However, the lighthouse at Cape Agulhas has guided many ships safely around the Cape.
The coasts around Cape Agulhas are seen as one of the most feared ship graveyard in the world. On a length of 100 km one can find approx.140 shipwrecks, including the Brederrode of the Dutch East Indian Company (VOC) and the HMS Birkenhead.
However the wind and waves together with sunny beaches lends the countryside its own character, which is rounded off by beautiful sunsets.

Kap Agulhas in Südafrika ist der südlichste Punkt des afrikanischen Kontinents und liegt ca. 150 km östlich des Kaps der Guten Hoffnung. Das Kap markiert die Grenze zwischen dem Atlantischen und Indischen Ozean.
Das Aufeinandertreffen von kalten und warmen Meeresströmungen führt oft zu heftigem Wellengang und war bei Seefahrern sehr gefürchtet. Jedoch hat der Leuchtturm am Kap Agulhas viele Schiffe sicher um das Kap geführt.
Die Küsten rund um Kap Agulhas gelten als einer der gefürchtetsten Schiffsfriedhöfe der Welt. Auf 100 km Länge sind ca. 140 Schiffswracks, darunter die Brederrode der Dutch East Indian Company (VOC) und die HMS Birkenhead, zu finden.
Dennoch verleiht der Wind und Wellengang, gepaart mit sonnigen Sandstränden, der Landschaft einen eigenen Charakter, der durch wunderschöne Sonnenuntergänge noch abgerundet wird.

30 Things to do in Cape Town, South Africa Travel Guide Video Transcript:
Today we’re taking you around one of our favourite cities: Cape Town, South Africa.
We first visited Cape Town in 2015 as the final stop on a monthlong trip across South Africa. However, by the time we arrived, we only had a couple of days to spare and the weather was less than ideal, so we didn’t get to see very much.
We knew we had to return to do the city justice and also film a proper Cape Town travel guide for you guys. This time around, we gave ourselves a full week to spare.
Our days were packed with sightseeing, and with visits to restaurants, chocolate shops, wineries and gin distilleries, so without further delay, let us show you 30 things do in Cape Town, South Africa.
And that’s a wrap for our week in Cape Town, South Africa. We hope you enjoyed following along and that this guide gave you a few ideas of things to see, do and eat in Cape Town. As always, if you have any other suggestions for fellow travellers, feel free to share those in the comments below. In the meantime, wishing you happy travels and see you next time!
This is part of our Travel in South Africa video series showcasing South African food, South African culture and South African cuisine.
