Another day in beautiful Cape Town.

Township Tour is a tour where you will learn a lot about the South African apartheid. Your guide will take you to District Six Museum and District Six, and explain what happened there back not that long ago. 

You will also visit three major town ships, a Sangoma healer shop and a local school.

We understand this tour might not appeal to everyone but we have done it and found it really interesting.

How about popping into Camps Bay beach? From your hotel it will be a really long walk along Sea Point.

Perhaps it is better if you just drive for about ten minutes, then park and explore the white sandy beaches of Clifton, Camps Bay and Bakoven.

Drive another ten minutes further along the coast to secluded Llandudno, a perfect spot to enjoy a stunning sunset. Do not swim at Llandudno, the beach is beautiful but the currents are strong and the sea is a bit dangerous. Did we mention the water in this part of Cape Town is freezing?

Take a cable car to Table Mountain National Park. The views from the top of Table Mountain are simply spectacular.

Drive along Chapman's Peak, visit bohemian Kalk Bay and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.

Visit Cape Point National Park, it will take you all day to get there and come back and the scenic road is just amazing.

There is so much to see in Cape Town that perhaps packing it all in five days might not be enough...?
