Last week I shared with you Part 1 of my journey to South Africa, as we visited KwaZulu Natal, including Durban and the South Coast for wild adventure and a taste of Zulu culture.

Today I’m taking you to Cape Town – undeniably and inarguably the most beautiful city in the world… and I’ve been to a lot of cities. With each new vista, from Table Mountain…

to Hout’s Bay…

to Chapman’s Peak…

to Cape Point at the Cape of Good Hope,

to sandboarding on the white dunes,

to visiting the townships,

your heart will expand until you feel your ribs might shatter. Add to that, African penguins…

…and then you implode from the amazingness.

The people of Cape Town are indescribably lovely and welcoming, and the activities and sites add up to the ideal vacation for friends, family, or even the solo traveler. Come along with me, Isoul Harris, Colleen Friesen, and Chadner Navarro as we visit Cape Town, South Africa after the jump… (more penguins!) (more…)
