Cape Town, with it’s scenic beauty is the ideal place to start an African journey. There is plenty to see and do while in Cape Town you’ll see beautiful scenery from oceans to mountains and vineyards and, can stop off at various view points for a picnic or just to take it all in.

Here are just a few landmark places you can visit:

 Table Mountain is a famous landmark and tourist attraction in Cape Town and hiking on the mountain is popular amongst locals and tourists.

 Robben Island is a major tourist attraction because political prisoners under apartheid were detained there. Notable amongst these were Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Tokyo Sexwale, Govan Mbeki and Robert Sobukwe.

 Boulders Beach is a sheltered beach made up of inlets between granite boulders, from which the name originated. It is located in the Cape Peninsula, near Simon’s Town towards Cape Point, near Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is also a popular swimming beach, although humans are restricted to beaches adjacent to the penguin colony.

 The South African Museum is situated at the top of Queen Victoria Street within the peaceful Company’s Gardens. The museum exhibits the largest collection of meteorites in the country, and incredible life-like reproductions of animals, of which fossilised remains were discovered in the Karoo semi-desert. There is also a whale skeleton, some members of the aquatic world, and examples of flora. Adjoining the museum is the Planetarium, whose projectors replicate the heavens and illuminate the constellations over a 26,000 year time span. Shows and talks are given regularly.

 The Castle of Good Hope is a fortification which was built on the original coastline of Table Bay and now, because of land reclamation, seems nearer the centre of Cape Town, South Africa. Built by the VOC between 1666 and 1679, the Castle is the oldest building in South Africa. It replaced an older fort made out of clay and timber that was built in 1652 by Jan van Riebeeck upon his arrival at the Cape of Good Hope.
