Arrival to Cape Town

Arrival in Cape Town. Meeting at the airport with a Russian-speaking guide. Transfer to the hotel. Rest.
Cape Town is one of the rare cities in the world where mountains literally enter the Atlantic, creating a connection between land and the ocean, which affects all its inhabitants. Cape Town's hallmark, its recognizable symbol, is Table Mountain. Cape Town is considered the cultural center of South Africa. The city has many museums, art galleries and everything related to bohemia. This metropolitan city, stretching far beyond the historical center, prosperous facades and neighborhoods of millionaires, has its own slums (to see all aspects of the real life of the city, they also offer tours). Cape Town is often called the mother of all cities, because it was from here that a new history of southern Africa began with the arrival of the first Europeans to its shores. The first stone fort was built here, a colony was laid here, administrative administration was carried out from here.

Excursion to the Cape of Good Hope, full day.

Excursion to the Cape of Good Hope (all day, with a Russian-speaking guide).
This is a trip to the Cape Peninsula. The cape is a natural barrier between two biogeographic zones. From the west, the cool climate of the Namakva region and the cold Atlantic current approach it, and from the east a warm front from the coast of the Indian Ocean. Due to this geographical location, there is a unique flora and fauna, therefore, Cape Cape is a reserve not only on land but also in the ocean. Nowhere in the country is there such a diversity of species of marine life as here, including their endemic species being protected here. It is here that the Good Hope Reserve is located, and the southernmost tip of the peninsula is Cape of Good Hope. From two hundred meters high, standing at the old lighthouse, you can see how the waters of the Indian and Atlantic oceans converge on the horizon.
The tour includes a visit to Hout Bay, where you can make a cruise to the sea island (a ticket for the cruise is paid after the fact), as well as a visit to the penguin colony in Simons Town.
