Day 2. Cape Town

Wake up to blue skies, mountain views, and sea air! After an energizing breakfast, consider a visit to nearby Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, where you'll suddenly feel tiny in the shadow of towering trees and soaring mountains. Take tons of priceless photos as you walk through vast greenery and become surrounded by rare, brightly-colored flora and fauna. Put on your bravest face and walk across the amazing tree canopy walkway!

If time allows, frolic through the colorful streets of Bo-Kaap! This former township, nestled on the slopes of Signal Hill, is a quaint neighborhood filled with proud residents and rich history. Take tons of eye-catching photos in-front of the vivid brightly-colored homes!

In the afternoon, grab your camera and fill your backpack with water-bottles and snacks - it's time to hike Lion's Head!

Day 3. Cape Town

Spend your morning walking along the trendy restaurant-lined streets near Camp's Bay Beach. Grab a bite at a cute seaside cafe, then take a stroll on the sand. Look right and see bright blue ocean, then look left and see a majestic backdrop of Table Mountain. 

Today, you may want to explore Cape Town's extraordinary outskirts. Take a cab or ride-share car through beautiful Hout Bay, then make your way to picturesque Simon's Town. Be sure to stop at Boulder's Beach and take tons of photos with some friendly locals - penguins, of course! Boulder's Beach is home to a large colony of African Penguins, and they're there all year-round. Watch them bask in the sun and swim in the cool waters in front of you!

Day 4. Cape Town

Soak up the spirit of Cape Town! Spend your last day revisiting your favorite spots, or discovering new ones. If you're interested in learning about South Africa's complicated history, visit the District Six Museum and/or the Iziko South African Museum! For a truly fascinating experience, consider a quick ferry ride to Robben Island. Today, Robben Island serves as a museum open to the public, but just years ago, it served as the prison that held Nelson Mandela! See his prison cell, converse with ex-political-prisoners, and learn all about this dark time in recent history. While it may sound grim, there is a bright side! The Robben Island ferry ride offers postcard-worthy views of Table Mountain and Cape Town, and you may even see a penguin or shark in the water along your journey.
