Encompassing 7 750 hectares of rich and varied flora and fauna; abounding with buck, baboons and Cape Mountain Zebra as well as over 250 species of birds, Cape Point is a nature enthusiast paradise.

Rugged rocks and sheer cliffs towering more than 200 metres above the sea and cutting deep into the ocean provide a spectacular background for the Parks’ rich bio-diversity.

From its rugged, rocky outcrops and sheer cliffs to the fynbos-covered plains, Cape Point offers a full day of discovery with spectacular views, fine food, and remarkable encounters with nature, spell-binding history and memories to treasure forever.

Taste local seafood fare from the Two Oceans Restaurant, perched high above crashing waves, and take in sweeping views of False Bay.

Travel 238 metres above the ocean on the Flying Dutchman Funicular, to the old lighthouse where the views are spectacular.

Take a leisurely hike and discover the spots where shipwrecks from centuries past lie and end off the day at Cape Point’s curio shops, to find just the right souvenir to rekindle memories of adventures at the south-westernmost tip of Africa.
