Adventure Tips

Start early to beat the traffic

Morning departures reduce time in traffic on Chapman’s Peak and give better light at key lookouts.

Dress in layers and bring a windproof jacket

Cape Town’s weather flips quickly—sunny one minute, gusty and cool the next, especially on exposed points.

Respect wildlife and stay on designated paths

Boardwalks protect penguin breeding areas; keep distance, no feeding, and silence close-range camera shutters where requested.

Carry local currency or a card for extra admissions

Cableway, funicular and some reserve fees are often paid on-site—have a card or cash ready.

History

The Cape Peninsula carries layers of history—from indigenous Khoi people to Portuguese explorers like Bartolomeu Dias and a Dutch colonial era reflected in Bo‑Kaap’s architecture.

Conservation

The Cape Floral Kingdom is globally significant and fragile; visiting via established paths and supporting local conservation fees helps protect endemic plants and penguin habitat.
