SOUTH AFRICA – Cape Town & Stellenbosch – Selfdrive South Africa Ep.3

From vineyards to mountain tops, and from quirky city vibes to penguins on the coast — this episode gives us our first real taste of South Africa’s Western Cape. We begin in Stellenbosch, the country’s wine capital, where we wander between wineries and hike the Panorama route in Jonkershoek Nature Reserve. Then it’s on to Cape Town — swapping our rooftent for a quirky guesthouse as we explore: 🍷 V&A Waterfront & weekend markets – Cape Town’s lively heart 🌄 Lion’s Head sunrise hike – climbing before dawn for unforgettable views 🚗 Chapman’s Peak Drive & Cape Peninsula – one of the world’s most scenic coastal drives Cape Town instantly won us over with its mix of nature, culture, and energy. And this is just the beginning. With so many hikes and highlights still on our wishlist, we know we’ll be back soon when our families come to visit. Heading east, we continue our Western Cape road trip with: 🐧 Penguins at Betty’s Bay 🌊 Coastal walks on the Cliff Path in Hermanus 🌲 A pause from overlanding in the lush town of Wilderness 🎥 Whether you’re planning your own trip to Cape Town, looking for the best hikes in the Western Cape, or just dreaming of South Africa’s epic scenery, this episode brings you along for the ride.
