6 Days South Africa Safari

Set out from Cape Town and take a scenic coastal route to Hermanus, stopping at Betties Bay to explore an endangered African penguin colony. Spend the afternoon in Hermanus, which is well-known for its Southern Right Whale counts that are available from July to November. Drive to Cape Agulhas in the afternoon to visit the viewpoint and learn more about where the warm Indian and cold Atlantic Oceans meet. Cape Agulhas is the southernmost point of Africa. Many sailors find it to be a difficult point because they come to a stormy end where the choppy swell and shifting currents push ships onto the shallow waters of the Agulhas Bank.
