The Cape of Good Hope hike continues south towards Cape Point, following dramatic coastlines, pristine beaches, and sections of light rock scrambling. Encounters with baboons are common along the route. After a break at Cape Point, continue to the historic lighthouse and the iconic Cape of Good Hope, the south-westernmost point of Africa, via well-maintained trails and boardwalks.
