Afterwards, take a short drive to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which features beautiful plants from the region.
Spend the day exploring the beautiful Cape Peninsula. Start with a stop at Boulder's Beach to see penguins, then drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve for a scenic hike. Stop for lunch in Simon's Town before heading to the Two Oceans Aquarium to see marine life up close.
Spend the day at the V&A Waterfront, where you can shop, eat, and enjoy various attractions. Take a ride on the Cape Wheel, visit the Two Oceans Aquarium if you missed it the day before or take a boat ride to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was once imprisoned.
