For doing all this we rented a car and drive through the region for about 10 days with activities booked a few weeks ahead.

Some Siblings in South Africa | Western Cape - Travel Film 2018
In 2016 our aunt and uncle sold their house. They traded their comfortable lives for one of adventure and set off on a one year trip from Kenya to Namibia. Meeting beautiful places along the way, they ended up falling in love with a little town called Calitzdorp in the Western Cape. Surrounded by an impressive mountain scape and the most beautiful golden sunsets they set upon their new life. This year we visited them.
This is a small reminder to dare to take risks when doubting whether you should follow a dream or embark upon a new journey. It is also a small peak into the Western Cape of South Africa.

A Small Town in South Africa: Vanrhynsdorp, Western Cape Province
The small town of Van Rhynsdorp lies about 300 km of Cape Town in South Africa's Western Cape Province. It is on the southern fringe of the arid area that stretches north to Namibia. I visited the town on a quiet weekday morning in June 2016.

South Africa/Cape Town (Cape Point,Table Mountain) Part 1
Welcome to my travelchannel.On my channel you can find almost 1000 films of more than 70 countries.
See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy!
Cape Point,South Africa
Cape Point is a promontory at the southeast corner of the Cape Peninsula, which is a mountainous and scenic landform that runs north-south for about thirty kilometres at the extreme southwestern tip of the African continent in the Republic of South Africa. Table Mountain and the city of Cape Town are close to the northern extremity of the same peninsula. about 2.3 kilometres (1.4 mi) east and a little north of the Cape of Good Hope on the southwest corner. Although these two rocky and beautiful capes are very well known, neither cape is actually the southernmost point in Africa; that is Cape Agulhas, approximately 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast.
The Cape of Good Hope
The Cape of Good Hope is a rocky headland on the Atlantic coast of the Cape Peninsula, South Africa.
There is a misconception that the Cape of Good Hope is the southern tip of Africa, because it was once believed to be the dividing point between the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. In fact, the southernmost point is Cape Agulhas, about 150 kilometres (90 mi) to the east-southeast. The currents of the two oceans meet at the point where the warm-water Agulhas current meets the cold water Benguela current and turns back on itself—a point that fluctuates between Cape Agulhas and Cape Point.
Table Mountain
Table Mountain is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa, and is featured in the Flag of Cape Town and other local government insignia. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or hiking to the top. The mountain forms part of the Table Mountain National Park.
The main feature of Table Mountain is the level plateau approximately 3 kilometres (2 mi) from side to side, edged by impressive cliffs. The plateau, flanked by Devil's Peak to the east and by Lion's Head to the west, forms a dramatic backdrop to Cape Town. This broad sweep of mountainous heights, together with Signal Hill, forms the natural amphitheatre of the City Bowl and Table Bay harbour. The highest point on Table Mountain is towards the eastern end of the plateau and is marked by Maclear's Beacon, a stone cairn built in 1865 by Sir Thomas Maclear for trigonometrical survey. It is 1,086 metres (3,563 ft) above sea level, about 19 metres (62 ft) higher than the cable station at the western end of the plateau.
The cliffs of the main plateau are split by Platteklip Gorge (Flat Stone Gorge), which provides an easy and direct ascent to the summit and was the route taken by António de Saldanha on the first recorded ascent of the mountain in 1503.
The flat top of the mountain is often covered by orographic clouds, formed when a south-easterly wind is directed up the mountain's slopes into colder air, where the moisture condenses to form the so-called table cloth of cloud. Legend attributes this phenomenon to a smoking contest between the Devil and a local pirate called Van Hunks.When the table cloth is seen, it symbolizes the contest.
Table Mountain is at the northern end of a sandstone mountain range that forms the spine of the Cape Peninsula. To the south of the main plateau is a lower part of the range called the Back Table. On the Atlantic coast of the peninsula, the range is known as the Twelve Apostles. The range continues southwards to Cape Point.

Western Cape - South Africa Travel Channel
Western Cape (Wes-Kaap) is a province of South Africa, which is bordered by both the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean.
If you leave Cape Town early in the morning in western direction you will experience the sunrise and the region in its most beautiful colors.
After leaving the Cape Town District , one crosses Overberg, which means as much as behind the mountain of the Hottentots Holland mountain range. This is followed by the Eden District, named after the Garden of Eden. The road runs along the Karoo, a semi-desert landscape.
Who finds himself unexpectedly in front of the sign of Heidelberg, hasn't lost his way. The name suggests that the place was founded by emigrants from Heidelberg.
We reach the coast at Moselle Bay and experience again spectacular beaches. But when bathing one should be careful, because not only the man loves this coast, but also the great white shark.
This landscape is characterized by numerous lagoons that extend far in the hinterland. Villages, such as Knysna, were founded at the lagoons.

Westkap (Wes-Kaap) ist eine Provinz von Südafrika, die sowohl an den Atlantischen, als auch an den Indischen Ozean grenzt.
Wer frühmorgens in Kapstadt aufbricht und Richtung Westen fährt, erlebt den Sonnenaufgang und die Region in ihren schönsten Farben.
Nachdem man den Distrikt Kapstadt verlassen hat durchquert man Overberg, was so viel wie „hinter dem Berg der Hottentots-Holland-Berge bedeutet.
Danach folgt der Distrikt Eden, benannt nach dem Garten Eden. Die Straße läuft entlang der Karoo, einer Halbwüstenlandschaft.
Wer sich plötzlich vor dem Ortsschild von Heidelberg befindet hat sich nicht verfahren. Der Name lässt darauf schließen, dass der Ort von Emigranten aus Heidelberg gegründet wurde.
Bei Mossel Bay erreicht man die Küste und erlebt wieder Traumstrände. Beim Baden sollte man allerdings vorsichtig sein, denn nicht nur der Mensch liebt diese Küstenstreifen, sondern auch der Weiße Hai.
Diese Landschaft ist gekennzeichnet durch zahlreiche Lagunen, die sich weit ins Hinterland erstrecken. An den Lagunen wurden Ortschaften, wie z.B. Knysna, gegründet wurden.
