We experience a safari in the Kruger National Park, one of the largest game reserves in Africa and whisk over to Boulders Beach, just outside of Simon’s Town. In the early 1980s, a pair of African penguins settled there. Since then, the penguin population has exploded to between 2,000 and 3,000, making this picturesque but once rather forgotten stretch of sand one of the nation’s premier tourist attractions.
