Tell me this doesn't feel like stepping into a childhood dream 🥹
Welcome to Ep. 6 of the must-do things in Capetown 🇿🇦
If seeing penguins in the wild is on your bucket list, save this for your Cape Town trip!
📍 Where to see penguins near Cape Town
🐧 1. Boulders Beach, Simon’s Town:
The more famous spot, known for its beautiful beach, boardwalks and beautiful African Penguins.Choose Boulders Beach if you want the classic penguin-and-beach experience closer to Cape Town.
🐧 2. Stony Point Nature Reserve, Betty’s Bay:
This is where we chose to go! It’s a little further from Cape Town, but it has a wonderful boardwalk through a thriving African penguin colony. It’s generally a quieter alternative to Boulders Beach and is a great stop on a scenic drive along Clarence Drive 😍 (A reel on this will be up very soon).
P.S: African penguins are critically endangere so please keep your distance, stay on the boardwalks where required and never touch or feed the penguins 🙏🏻 The magic is in watching them just be penguins 🥹🤍
