C a p e To w n Cape Tow n may take second place to Johan nesbu rg as South A frica’s most populous cit y, but it easily entices more visitors each year than any other A frican cit y (more than 1. 5 m illion) w ith warm beaches, excellent shopping and u nique Cape Dutch architec t u re. W hen the torrents of tou rists becomes too much to compete w ith however, fou r easy escapes are all less than th ree hou rs away.

C h a p m a n ’s Pe a k D r i v e W hether you choose to d rive, pedal or walk along ‘Chappies’, a 5k m toll road lin king Hout Bay w ith Noord hoek, take you r ti me as it’s one of the most spec tacular st retches of coastal road in the world. T here are picnic spots to ad m i re the view and it’s cer tainly wor th taking the road at least one way en route to Cape Point. Perched on a rock near the Hout Bay end of the d rive is a bron ze leopard stat ue . It has been sit ting there since 1963 and is a rem inder of the w ildlife that once roamed the area’s forests (which has also largely vanished).
