A visit to the Cape of Good hope was totally amazing. We spent the greater part of the tour on the green grass by the ocean sipping down wine and the kids playing. The highlights was the encounter with the wild animals especially the baboons and the penguins at Boulder's beach. Highly recommended for a family outing
