Cape Town  - holiday destinations

Photos of the Cape Peninsula
the ultimate holiday destination in the Western Cape

On this webpage I have set out in photographs what one will see and experience when driving around the Cape Peninsula.
I have arranged the photos on this page to cover the northern parts of the Cape Peninsula and have linked the names of the various places highlighted to articles on the website. Cape Town has some of the most spectacular scenery in the world and it is a place you should visit at least once in your lifetime. For photographs and articles about the southern towns and holiday destinations of the Cape Peninsula click this link.
