What to do and see in Cape Town Central, Western Cape: The Best Outdoor Activities

July 5, 2021 Mikaela Didonna

Cape Town glistens at the southern toe of the African continent. Tourist brochure-views at Blaauwberg Beach and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens are within easy driving distance of "The Mother City." The Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve provides sweeping sea vistas, hiking trails and wildlife encounters. On a more somber note, travelers can visit Robben Island, the prison where Nelson Mandela was held for 27 years.

Lucky and Lost Tours

Lucky and Lost was started by a couple of South African backpackers who are passionate about traveling and people, but 'hate' Tours! We realized that our most memorable travel experiences were with locals who showed us the best places to go, how to experience them and the friends we made along the way! We want to provide the same experience for other travellers in our home town.
