The Cape Peninsula
This captivating stretch of coastline extends south from Cape Town, flanked by the Atlantic Ocean on both sides. Towering cliffs, sandy coves, and sweeping bays set the scene for some truly breathtaking views. At its most iconic points lie at the Cape of Good Hope at Cape Point Light Houses, where visitors can witness the dramatic meeting of ocean currents at Africa’s southwestern tip. This land has seen centuries of daring explorers, it’s wild, storied, and unbelievably beautiful, one of those rare places where every turn feels like a postcard.
Penguins
Tucked along the eastern edge of Boulders Beach is a narrow pathway that sometimes lets us get incredibly close to the African penguin colony. These charming little birds may look cute and clumsy, but they’ve got plenty of spirit. With the right balance of curiosity and respect, the experience becomes something special, up close, but never intrusive.
They’re also in trouble. Habitat loss, pollution, and dwindling fish stocks have pushed them onto the endangered list. We’re proud to support local conservation efforts working to protect their future because once you’ve met them, it’s hard not to care.
