There are a ton of incredible things to see and do in the city of Cape Town and the surrounding area, and on our first full day in the city, we tried to do as many of those things as possible. The city really does have it all. If you love beautiful coastlines, it has some of the prettiest coastlines in the world. If you want to stare at amazing mountain vistas, Table Mountain and the surrounding peaks are gorgeous and a blast to explore. And for the wildlife lovers out there, the city has Cape Fur Seals and African Penguins to adore. In this Africa travel blog update, I share some of my favorite pictures from our sightseeing that we did today and talk about all of the things that have made me fall in love with Cape Town.

After spending the last few days exploring the amazing Garden Route National Park, it was time for us to move on. We have headed further South down the coast of South Africa to the incredible city of Cape Town. Not only does Cape Town have an incredible coastline of its own, but it is also famous for having some of the world’s most spectacular coastal mountains. The infamous Table Mountain seems to cradle the city against the coastline and provides one of the most unique and beautiful city backdrops that I have ever seen. In this Africa travel blog update, I discuss our travel to Cape Town and what we were able to see on the first day of our visit.
