The 9 Best Historic Walking Areas in Western Cape, South Africa
South Africa’s most popular tourist destination offers the urban thrills of Cape Town, its adjacent wine country and an aura of the rich political history of South Africa. The Overberg's perfect whale-watching perches provide excitement of a different nature. The Garden Route's lakes and forests and the Klein Karoo's ostrich-farming towns and vineyards present another take on the Cape. For extra kicks, try bungee jumping or cage-diving among Great Whites.

This quiet village is living history, it is quite remote with only the one tarmac road from Bredasdorp. We visited the museum which has a fantastic history of this close knit community of ex-slaves who were and still are skilled in many of the dying skills such as thatching. The museum is only ZAR20 each, please visit as they are desperately short of funds. The community love brass band music and singing, very similar to the Welsh and North of England mining bands in the UK. The church is huge, but apparently is too small when all the extended families return for festivals. The village is mainly comprised of small thatched houses, very picturesque.
8. The Original Shoreline
A self-guided walk through Cape Town’s history. We’ve uncovered a new route that traces the city’s original shoreline from the Castle of Good Hope to the V&A Waterfront. Along the way, we’ve found stories about the people, places and events that have shaped our history. From the Castle, the route passes distinct landmarks where historical events happened and historical figures made their mark.
