8 Reasons to Visit Cape Town, South Africa

Chapman’s Peak Drive

After you’ve seen the sights around Cape Town, leave the city limits behind and start exploring the Cape of Good Hope. I recommend accessing the cape via Chapman’s Peak Drive.

The scenic yet thrilling drive is popular with adrenaline junkies and car advertisements alike. I white knuckled all 9km my first time behind the wheel of a right side driving car.
