Best Drives Cape Town – Day Trips

• The route around the Cape Peninsula is heart wrenchingly beautiful and one of the world’s most scenic drives. Begin your drive around the peninsula from the city bowl out towards Muizenberg, following the coast around past Fish Hoek, Simon's Town and on to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Return via Scarborough, Noordehoek, the spectacular Chapman’s peak drive, before cruising through Hout Bay and onto Victoria Drive. Victoria Drive carries you past Llandudno, Camps Bay, Clifton and onto the V & A Waterfront. Doing the drive this way round ensures maximum sunlight and you’ll be on the closest side of the road to the coast. This excursion can easily occupy an entire day as almost everywhere along the coast is worth stopping, either for food, curiosity or the views.
• Drive out to the Cape Winelands, easily reachable and with a choice of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl you’ll quickly find yourself in enchanting settings, eating scrumptious cuisine and of course tasting world-class wines.
• Drive up the West Coast to Langebaan, Saldanha and the West coast National Park. The West Coast has a contrasting yet equally beautifully rugged coastline, windswept hills and desolate mountains. The drive takes a little over an hour.
• Drive out towards to the Overberg, about 45 minutes outside of Cape Town heading east you’ll be forced to either go over or around the barrier of Mountain Ranges. Heading out over Sir Lowry’s Pass to Hermanus, a popular whale watching site, and head back via the Route 44, a coastal drive in a similar league to Chapman’s Peak Drive.
