Continue along Victoria Road, passing exclusive residential areas en route to Chapman's Peak Drive for 2 photo stops.
Upon arrival at the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, your guide will provide an overview of the park. Board a funicular to Cape Point Lighthouse or take a 15-minute walk up that passes a spectacular viewpoint if you prefer.
