The peninsula falls within the Table Mountain National Park which is world-renowned for its incredible biodiversity.
The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve spreads out over the rocky headland. It’s a protected nature reserve and home to an array of antelope, the rare Cape mountain zebra and other unique animal species. It’s also a haven for marine birds, with 250 recorded bird species found in the reserve.
Cape Point is the very pointy end of the Cape Peninsula. It’s an instantly-recognised landmark and is often mistaken to be the southernmost tip of Africa. There are two national heritage monuments on Cape Point that were built to honour the world’s most famous explorers: Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeu Dias (who was the first European explorer to round Cape Point in 1488).

Peninsula Full day
We had a wonderful day on the Mo Afrika Full-Day Cape Peninsula Tour, and we were truly blessed to have Alfred as our guide. From the moment the tour started, his friendly personality, professionalism, and extensive knowledge made the experience even more memorable.
Alfred shared fascinating insights about Cape Town and the attractions we visited, making every stop meaningful and enjoyable. The places included in the tour were absolutely awesome — from seeing the adorable penguins at Boulders Beach, to the breathtaking views at Seal Island, the iconic Cape of Good Hope, and the stunning lighthouse at Cape Point.
What made the day even more special was Alfred himself. He was engaging, caring, and passionate about what he does. By the end of the tour, we felt like we had made a new friend, and as we talked after the trip, we realized we already missed him!
Thank you, Alfred and Mo Afrika Tours, for an unforgettable experience. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cape Town.

Good day but not what was advertised which was disappointing
The tour was not what we expected. We didn’t do many of the stops that’s were planned on the itinerary which was a little bit disappointing. Our guide was okay although he seemed agitated and threatened to leave some of the clients if they were even a couple of minutes late to the meeting spots. Overall the tour was not what was advertised.

Comfy and safe tour
Great tour to get a quick taste of the beaches, peninsular and back into the city. Really not enough hours in the day to see and experience what this beautiful place has to share with us.

Superb day!
A tremendous day with MoAfrika tours and my guide for the day, Sentle.
Early start to beach then a wee cruise to Seal Island then to Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point, a delicious lunch at Saveur and the best part of the day for me at Boulder Beach penguins.
Guide Sentle was accommodating, friendly and knowledgable and whilst a long day, it was superb.
Highly recommend this tour to everyone, stunning scenery and wildlife.
