Cape Peninsula

Curving away from the African continent like an eroded sickle, the Cape Peninsula has always presented a fearsome challenge to navigateors rounding the tip of Africa. The Cape of Good Hope, also known as the 'Cape of Storms' is where two great ocean currents, the Benguela and the Mozambique, converge. Cape Point, the southern tip, is a place of pounding rollers, howling winds and a storm lashed coastline. With its backbone of mountains, its many beautiful beaches, its scenic drives and astonishing floral diversity, the Peninsula remains one of the loveliest corners of Africa.
