Beachy birthdays

#freehotelstay What better way to celebrate a loved one’s birthday than with a picnic on the beach AT SUNSET!? If you’re looking for a dog friendly beach in Cape Town where you can kick back and enjoy sundowners, Clifton 1st is the beach for you. The view is breathtaking and the water will take your breath away (literally, it’s really fricking cold). Clifton is a classic spot for a celebration, especially if you like to celebrate with your furry friends! If you’re visiting Cape Town or even if you live here and are looking for a sunset moment, Clifton is the beach for you. #Clifton #sunset #Ocean #Beach #capetown

Camps Bay Beach, Cape Town 👙🏝️☀️

Camps Bay Beach know for its stunning views of the Twelve Apostles mountains and its white sandy beach. It is a stunning beach with the most amazing views. The beach is perfect to just relax and spend time with the family. It does tend to get full so parking might be a problem once people starts going to the restaurants. The beaches are clean and you have views of Lion’s Head, the Twelve Apostles and fancy restaurants.👌 #beachlife #capetown

Cape Town, there is none like you!

Can it be? A city with it all? My recent trip to Cape Town was memorable, to say the least. A cultural hub of unique South African history and art, every landmark is special in its own way. Take the Iziko South African Museum, for example, which is a national treasure for South Africans. Learn about the historical rock paintings, ancient artifacts and heroes who moved and shook South Africa. Learn about the dinosaurs that once walked where we do now and the glorious buck and lion that graced our grasslands. Marvel at the magnificence of the size of a whale by gazing at a real life carcass. It’s easy to spend a day there lost in history. Afterwards, I moved onto the Two Oceans Aquarium. Now, I’ve been to the Shanghai Ocean Aquarium, one- if not THE- largest aquariums in the world, but boy was I impressed by what I saw in Cape Town. The place is clean and friendly to those of all ages. Children were fascinated by the sea creatures, as was I! There were spots of interactivity for the little ones and chance to learn about our ever deadly act of ocean pollution. I gawked at the penguins that were too cute for words and stood amazed at how beautiful our world is. What a wonderful chance to see what lies in the depths of our oceans! Walking about the V&A Waterfront is a must! There are tons of restaurants to choose from. And as you enjoy your delicious dinner, you are accompanied by buskers showcasing the true talent of South Africans. And if you want to spend a day immersed in shopping, there is no better mall than the Canal Walk. Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to go up Table Mountain as maintenance on the cable cars were being done at the time. But simply seeing this Wonder in the distance left me breathless. There are so many places I did not get to visit- Robben Island, Devil’s Peak and Signal Hill, and I didn’t get to try the numerous fun activities scattered around the city. But that’s only an excuse to go back! Cape Town, thanks for the hospitality and beauty. I’ll see you soon #trip #instatravel #capetown #capetownsouthafrica #southafrica !

Watching African penguins at Boulders Beach

Penguins and more 🐧 African penguins are named as such as they are the only ones breeding on the African continent. But how can penguins, most commonly known as breeding on ice, be found under the hot sun of Africa? They can do this as they feed in the cold waters of the Benguela upwelling current, which is a very rich system but very cold too. On land they cope with the warmer climate by burrowing, emerging at dusk and dawn, and using the pink glands above their eyes to cool the blood down. They can also increase their heat loss by holding the flippers away from the body, so both surfaces of the flippers are exposed to air, releasing heat. African penguins don't have feathers on their legs and have bare patches on their faces where excess heat can be heat. #beachlife #capetown #southafrica #penguins

Clovelly Golf Course - SA's Most Popular Course

Clovelly Golf Course Voted South Africa's most popular golf course, Clovelly is a must for any golfer. Located in the Fish Hoek Valley, Clovelly is a beautifully kept course with stunning views along the way. Mountains border the course and provide a few challenges to the wayward golfer, especially on the 9th hole. The course offers caddies and a few carts for those who enjoy relaxed golf. Alcohol is also allowed on the course if you're interested in some boozy golf, with the only rule being that you aren't a disturbance to others and that you remove all litter brought along. #southafrica #newyearadventure #tripblazers #clovellygolf #capetown

Table Mountain - A World Wonder

Table Mountain - the centrepiece, the marvel, the pinnacle of Cape Town tourism. Globally famous and unmissable from anywhere around Cape Town, Table Mountain is must-visit when travelling. Table Mountain is a floral kingdom and one of the natural Wonders of the World. If you are looking for an easy and relatively fast way up the mountain, the Cableway is your best bet. Better yet, if you are looking to hike up to the top, Platteklip Gorge is the most direct route up to the top. Make sure that sensible hiking shoes are worn and always take a jacket and water. #capetown #newyearadventure #tripblazers #tablemountain #southafrica

Exploring Kalk Bay Harbour

Kalk Bay is a vibrant and beautiful suburb of Cape Town. Located 40 minutes from Cape Town city centre by car, Kalk Bay offers a more rustic vibe than the Atlantic Seaboard area of town. A multitude of restaurants are dotted around the harbour - notably Kalkies and Harbour House. Kalkies is a local fish and chips spot and Harbour House a more upscale a la carte restaurant. If you're looking for a local experience, Kalkies is your best bet. Make sure you talk a stroll down the harbour wall, but beware of the seals. They're big and they bite! #tripblazers #newyearadventure #summervacation #kalkbay #capetown

Beautiful Kalk Bay

Make sure you talk a stroll down the harbour wall, but beware of the seals. They're big and they bite! #newyearadventure #tripblazers #kalkbay #capetown #summervacation

Killer Hike but so worth it at the Top

The hike up was an insane 2 hours, but the waterfall you pass on the way is beautiful. The reservoir at the Top of the mountain is a spectacular view, especially at sunset time. Take a dip in a red lake after a long walk up, have a picnic, and take in the beauty of this location. Red lake? Yes, because of the natural fynbos that grows under water, it cause the lake water to turn red and my word it is beautiful. You also get to see the beauty of nature and the some indigenous plants on the way up the mountain so if you're someone that loves nature, this hike is for you! ♥️ #naturelover #hiking #enjoyinglife #capetown #tablemountain

Views and Booze

#freehotelstay To most, the famous 12 apostles hotel in Cape Town may seem completely out of reach financially, but what alot of people don’t know is that you don’t have to stay there to be able to experience the place, in fact, you don’t even have to spend a small fortune at their spa or restaurant! The hotel has its own bar which is seperate from the restaurant and on a different floor. The bar serves drinks and snacks and offers stunning views of the ocean from the side of Table Mountain, I had their whiskey sour and it set me back less than R100, the snacks were complimentary. If you’re looking for a spot in Cape Town that combines views with booze, the bar at the 12 apostles hotel and spa is the spot for you! My cocktail was delicious, we sat on the terrace which has a view over the Ocean (and a really good one too since the hotel is on the side of the mountain), there was a short waiting period while we waited for a table to clear up on the terrace and while we waited we sat at the bar and ordered our drinks. We were able to enjoy the sunset out on the terrace while sipping on our cocktails and it was a really fun experience. If you can afford to stay at the hotel I can recommend that too but we came specifically to visit the bar and to enjoy their unique selection of cocktails. Along with our cocktails we were served bowls of snacks like pretzels, nuts and raisins, I especially enjoyed the wasabi coated peanuts, which seemed strange to me but tasted absolutely delicious! I can highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a beautiful experience, or a fancy night out that won’t break the bank. #cocktails #capetown #hotel #oceanview

🇿🇦 Mount Nelson, A Belmond Hotel, Cape Town

#wheretogo We had the pleasure to stay in Mount Nelson during our trip to Cape Town. It was no regret to pick this hotel out of the rest. The hotel's location is fantastic. It's conveniently situated and making it easy to explore the city. We felt welcomed upon arrival by the staff. The level of service was exemplary and they were so courteous, responsive, and always willing to assist with a smile. The hotel itself is remarkable with gorgeous gardens and an delicate historic building. Our room was a cozy one, it was spacious with all the necessary amenities bed was ultra comfy that I could enjoy a peaceful night's sleep. Extensive variety available for breakfast and it all tasted yummy. Will definitely return here for my next visit to Cape Town. #timetotravel #capetown #southafrica #hotelreview

🇿🇦 Camps bay,Cape Town-A day in paradise!

#wheretogo During our visit to Cape Town, we spent a day at the Camps Bay. I am happy to say that Camps Bay Beach does not disappoint! The beach was beautiful and vibrant. We love the white sandy beach with mountain views in the background and the crystal clear ocean. There are sunbeds available for rent if you want to chill on the beach. It was sososo stunning I couldn’t bear to leave and stayed a bit to wave watch. There are many cafes and restaurants lining against the coast of the beach. Do note that there are many street vendors selling their art but luckily they were not pushy. Also, alcohol is not allowed at the beach. We love our visit to Camps Bay so much ! #timetotravel#capetown #southafrica

A marvellous culinary experience

The Hussar Grill situated at the Marriott Crystal Towers in the prestigious suburb of Century City is definitely a place to go and experience the amazing food. Today I had the ostrich on a berry and rosemary glaze paired with a glass of red Merlot. Absolutely amazing. The Hussar Grill is a South African chain of restaurants specialising in red meats but offering other options as well. It was founded in Rondebosch in 1964.#Thehussargrill #ostrich #steak #steakhouse #marriott #Centurycity #capetown #Southafrica

Sandy Penguins 🐧

If you are in Cape Town, South Africa you need to stop by Boulders Bay and see the cute penguins! They are free penguins waddling around and enjoying their life. They take turns taking care of the egg and going to swim. When I went there were lots of babies and eggs. The area does smell a little bit what do you expect it’s the wild! It’s super great to see the animals interacting in their own environment! #penguins #capetown

Signal Hill - Cape Town's best sunset view

If you manage to find yourself in Cape Town...go see the sunset at Signal Hill. Its an absolute beauty. Its free and best of all its a once in a life time [no two days look the same]. The sound of nature but also quiet with the sound of the waves breaking in the background. Very romantic and ideallic. We enjoyed every moment. #capetown #signalhill #freeromance

Great beach and best fish and chips around

Take a drive down the coastal line for great views of the ocean and mountains. You will then reach Kalk Bay. Here you will find a beautiful beach, friendly people and the best fish and chips around at Kalkies. Visit the spectacular beach with friends or family and grab some tasty samoosas from a nearby vendor, for a snack before heading to Kalkies. I swear that the fish and chips is to die for. Then drive back to Cape Town City through Chapmans peak. Sunset is the best time for this drive and you will catch a breathtaking view that you surely will never forget. #capetown #kalkbay #fishandchips #beachlife #kalkies #friendstravel
