BOULDERS BEACH’S AFRICAN PENGUIN COLONY

The sheltered cove between Simon’s Town and Cape Point - Boulders Beachis world renowned for its thriving colony of African Penguins - an endangered species in the Red Data Book. Seeing these penguins waddle around on this beach is something truly unique and special and promises to be quite an exciting family outing. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 2200 in recent years. The penguins are best viewed from Foxy Bay, where there are boardwalks that take visitors to these amazing creatures.

Oranjezicht City Farm Market

The Oranjezicht City Farm Market is one market you can’t miss when visiting Cape Town. Whether it’s for a selfie at Adene’s Farm Flowers, or for fresh herbs and vegetables for your self-catering cottage or Airbnb dinner, there’s nothing more refreshing than a farmers’ market. Especially when it’s a market that appreciates the importance of aesthetics when it comes to its stalls. Many say that you can only say you’re a Capetonian once you’ve been to this market, and we can’t help but agree. The market showcases some of the best things Cape Town has to offer.
