Itinerary
Hout Bay (Afrikaans: Houtbaai, meaning "Wood Bay") is a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa situated in a valley on the Atlantic seaboard of the Cape Peninsula, twenty kilometres south of the Central Business District of Cape Town. The name "Hout Bay" can refer to the town, the bay on which it is situated, or the entire valley.
History of Chapman's Peak Drive. Chapman's Peak is named after John Chapman, the Captain's mate of an English ship the Consent. The peak which looms overhead was not named after a governor or brave mountaineer, but a lowly ship's pilot.
It is known for its spectacular scenery. It was originally named the Cape of Storms by Portuguese explorer Bartholomew Dias in 1488. It was later renamed, by King John II of Portugal, the Cape of Good Hope because of the great optimism engendered by the opening of a sea route to India and the East.
The original lighthouse was built in 1859 on Da Gama Peak, the summit of Cape Point, 238m above sea level. This made it very ineffective in mist which mandated the establishment of the second lighthouse at 87 meters. The newer lighthouse, built in 1914, is the most powerful on the South African coast.
A visit to boulders beach will give a chance to have a close encounter with our own African penguins.

This was an amazing experience ,I highly recommend this tour to people who enjoy sea life and adventure as well as long walks along the coast.
This whole experience was so amazing ! I definitely recommend for families , couples and solo travellers. You get more than what you pay for and the staff are so lovely and friendly! My children are begging me to come back to Cape Town so that we can do more! We felt so taken care of and it was an extraordinary day spent.
They are just great they make our tour the best. We are planning to visit there with them very soon and this time we are also going to take other services they are providing as we think other services provided by them will also be the best as like this one. I Specialy want to thank Mr. Andrew one of the team member of "Afrika Afrika" he was very helpful and great person. Thanks
Unbelievable, Awesome, and Amazing are just a few words that come to mind about our trip. From the begin during the planning the trip planners were great. They were very informative with tons of information and knowledge. They gave me so much info it was hard for me to choose. They answered all my emails and text promptly with tons of details/info. Our adventure start in Victory Falls staying at the a Lodge. This place was first class, with tons of things to do. A must stay if you are in this area. The falls were the highlight of the trip for me. Massive, breathtaking, powerful, and beauty are words that come to mind. From seeing a pride of lions kill a zebra to tons of wildlife, birds and natural beauty.
