Cape Point/ The Cape of Good Hope by Arianna

In 1652, Jan van Riebeeck established a resupply camp for the Dutch East India Company, today that site is a beautiful hike to the most southwestern point of Africa. We climbed up to the lighthouse and back down and over to catch one of the most breathtaking views on the continent. Along the way we saw a variety of wildlife from lizards to ostriches. The path was narrow, steep, rocky and invigorating. Here are a few snapshots of our voyage to the top.

The most powerful lighthouse on the South African coast with a range of 63 km.



We climbed to the top of the most SouthWestern point of Africa...and then continued to swim to Antarctica!
