Imhoff Caravan Park

You’ll easily fill a good number of days on and around the Cape Peninsula… aside from the beach right by your place, it’s worth stopping by at Noordhoek beach (15 minutes’ drive) and the famed Boulders Beach (25 minutes), a must-see for its cute colony of African penguins. Keep going south, south, south and you’ll get to the Cape of Good Hope (the very tip of the African continent) in about 40 minutes or so. Turning attentions north instead, you might like to putt a few balls about on the golf course at Clovelly Country Club (20 minutes), wander along the extensive and gorgeous trails at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden (35 minutes) or meet some exotic critters at World of Birds Wildlife Sanctuary & Monkey Park (40 minutes). A little further north again are, of course, Cape Town and Table Mountain National Park (both around 40 minutes’ drive). A day in town might include visits to the District Six Museum, Nelson Mandela’s former prison on Robben Island and wanders in the colourful Bo-Kaap area – along with a cable car ride up Table Mountain to take it all in from on high.
