The drive from Cape Town to Cape Point is one long viewpoint. Take a full day and stop often.

## Getting there

Rent a car in Cape Town and leave early to beat the traffic on Chapman's Peak.

## Where to stay

Kalk Bay or Simon's Town for a quieter night by the sea.

## What I would do differently

I would swim at Boulders Beach early, before the penguins get company.

Prices in this guide are what I paid. They move every season, so use them as a rough guide.
