Excursion d'une journée au Cap de Bonne-Espérance et Boulders Penguins au départ du Cap
Description
Salut là ! Je suis votre Guide local du Cap, et j'ai hâte de vous emmener dans cette visite car j'ai beaucoup d'histoires sur le Cap de bonne espérance que j'aimerais partager avec vous. Le ramassage se fera à votre hôtel avant de nous rendre à Bo-Kaap, où les maisons aux couleurs vives racontent des histoires du riche passé culturel du Cap. De là, nous emprunterons l'une des routes côtières les plus pittoresques du monde. Attendez-vous à des vues plongeantes sur la mâchoire alors que nous nous dirigeons lentement vers le Cap de bonne espérance. Cette région fait partie de la famille végétale la plus riche du monde et des randonnées optionnelles vous seront proposées. Nous explorerons également quelques charmantes villes balnéaires. À Hout Bay, vous aurez la possibilité de faire une petite excursion en bateau sur l'île de Duiker pour voir les otaries à fourrure du Cap. Puis à Simon’s Town, nous rencontrerons les célèbres pingouins africains à Boulders Beach. Sur le chemin du retour au Cap, en fonction de la fluidité du trafic routier, nous passerons par Muizenberg Beach, connue pour ses cabanes colorées et son ambiance surf avant de terminer la journée à votre hôtel.

Itinéraire
Peu après le début de la visite, avant de quitter la ville pour la côte. Nous aurons l'occasion de faire un arrêt rapide dans l'historique Bo-Kaap pour voir les maisons aux couleurs vives et découvrir sa longue histoire. Votre guide vous guidera pendant que vous prendrez des photos et en apprendrez davantage sur l'histoire de ce quartier.
Nichée au pied de la montagne Lion's Head, se trouve une banlieue aisée appelée Bantry Bay. Très connue pour son statut sans vent, Bantry Bay a plus de 250 jours sans vent par an, ce qui est beaucoup au Cap compte tenu du climat venteux de la ville mère.
Niché haut sur le flanc de la montagne se trouve un autre quartier opulent appelé Clifton. Outre l'immobilier cher, Clifton est également bien connu pour avoir certaines des meilleures plages près de Cape Town. Les quatre plages de Clifton qui sont naturellement divisées en 4 par des blocs de granit.
Admirez les magnifiques collines de Beverly du Cap appelées Camps Bay. Arrêtez-vous brièvement pour prendre des photos et profiter de la vue sur les douze apôtres.
A 15 minutes de Camps Bay se trouve la baie de Hout. Une ville entourée par les montagnes et le froid de l'Atlantique. Toutes les routes qui conduisent le trafic ici passent par des cols de montagne. Ne regrettez pas d'avoir laissé vos passeports quand un panneau "Bienvenue dans la république de Hout Bay" apparaît !
Notre voyage durera une heure au port de Hout Bay, où vous pourrez monter à bord d'un bateau et embarquer pour un voyage panoramique de 40 minutes vers une île habitée par plus de 5 000 otaries à fourrure du Cap. Vous verrez les phoques depuis le bateau et si vous ne souhaitez pas faire l'excursion en bateau, vous pourrez passer du temps à explorer le marché artisanal ou même faire une promenade de 10 minutes jusqu'à la plage de Hout Bay. Veuillez noter que ce supplément facultatif peut ajouter une heure supplémentaire à la visite.
En quittant Hout Bay, nous nous dirigerons vers le célèbre Chapman's Peak Drive. Une route à flanc de montagne connue localement sous le nom de Chapies. Un chef-d'œuvre d'ingénierie ! La route du pic Chapman serpente sur 9 km le long des montagnes géantes du pic Chapman qui semblent tomber dans l'océan comme une avalanche. Vous aurez également l'occasion de vous arrêter pour prendre des photos et profiter de la vue sur l'océan Atlantique, les falaises et les plages de sable blanc.
À l'extrémité sud de la promenade de pointe de Chapman se trouve un village agricole de Noordhoek. Les bâtiments blanchis à la chaux et au toit de chaume fonctionnent comme des magasins comme des magasins de jus bruts, des cafés, des boulangeries, des restaurants, des magasins d'artisanat et des magasins de vêtements. Une petite halte pour s'adonner à certaines d'entre elles vous sera proposée.
À seulement 200 m avant la réserve naturelle de Cape Point se trouve une ferme d'autruches où les clients auront la possibilité de s'arrêter le long de la route et de prendre des photos du plus grand oiseau d'Afrique.
La réserve naturelle de Cape Point abrite le coin le plus au sud-ouest de l'Afrique (Cap de Bonne Espérance). La richesse de la faune et de la flore fait de cet endroit un haut lieu de la biodiversité. Vous pourrez profiter de la vue dans le confort du véhicule ou même à pied.
Célèbre coin d'Afrique. Où l'Atlantique froid et les océans Indien partagent des terrains communs. Le cap de Bonne-Espérance n'est cependant que le point le plus au sud-ouest de l'Afrique. Les sentiers de randonnée jusqu'au sommet du Cap permettent de faire beaucoup d'activités et de visites. Le panneau du Cap de Bonne-Espérance est également une autre grande attraction. Différents sentiers de randonnée possibles vous seront proposés à partir de là par votre guide.
Marchez ou prenez un funiculaire (à vos frais) jusqu'au 3e phare le plus ancien d'Afrique du Sud pour une vue à 360 degrés sur le parc national. L'ancien phare a été lancé en 1860 seulement pour être déclassé 40 ans et des dizaines de naufrages trop tard après que des études aient prouvé que sa haute altitude représentait un grand danger pour les marins autour du cap car ils ne pouvaient pas le voir par temps nuageux. Un nouveau phare a depuis été construit à une altitude beaucoup plus basse.
Une autre ville calme et riche sur le littoral de la fausse baie. La ville de Simon, construite de manière victorienne, abrite certains des restaurants de fruits de mer les plus frais et où vous pouvez vous arrêter pendant une heure et prendre un déjeuner (le guide peut choisir de déjeuner à Cape Point en fonction du déroulement de la visite)
Boulders Beach Penguin Colony abrite des milliers de nageurs de smoking en voie de disparition, le manchot africain ! Ici, vous marcherez sur la plage et prendrez des photos rapprochées d'un de nos oiseaux sans vol. Votre guide vous fournira également des informations sur les affaires courantes du manchot.
Muizenberg Beach est également connu sous le nom de "The surfers corner". Des cabanes à langer aux couleurs vives sur la plage font un excellent shooting photo. Pourvu que nous ayons le temps et que la circulation soit raisonnable, vous pourrez faire votre dernier arrêt avant que les moteurs ne s'orientent vers le nord pour que Cape Town termine une belle journée touristique.

We just had an amazing time with Candy and Litha on Table Mountain all inclusive tour. Candy is very knowledgable and shares as much info not only about places we visited but also about South Africa itself. Litha is a good, safe driver. They both help plan and adjust the trip really welll that at the end we got to see Table Mt when the weather cleared up more. Highly recommend this tour with Candy and Litha.
Candy and Litha were incredible tour guides!! Some of the many highlights include going up Table Mountain, visiting the Cape of Good Hope (and encountering a wild ostrich on our optional hike!), going to the Boulders Penguin Colony, and seeing a few baboons next to our tour van. Most of all, I loved learning a lot of the history along the way from Candy, her sense of humor, and the welcoming tour she created. I truly can’t recommend this tour highly enough!

The whole trip was lovely from start to finish. They picked me up at my accommodation and dropped me off afterwards, so I didn't need to Uber. The guide, Joseph, was very knowledgeable and happily answered questions to give a local and nuanced response. The stops were great, allowing us time to look at beautiful views, animals, grab a coffee or a koeksister and experience Cape of Good Hope and Boulders with plenty of time. Would totally recommend!

An excellent tour that hits major highlights near Cape Town with just the right pacing. Table Mountain and the hike up the Cape Of Good Hope were particular highlights, as was the African Penguin Sanctuary. Candy was an excellent guide who went over much of the history, ecology, and present-day life of the region honestly and without gloss. Micah was also a fine driver. Would recommend to anyone visiting the region, and especially hikers.
