A great place where you can get an up close and personal with the penguins. They seem quite accustomed to people, though don’t get too close when they have babies nearby. The wood platforms help you get close. There’s a ‘public’ beach area which is quite popular among the tourists. This is one of the top 5 Cape Town attractions. A very family friendly beach with calm sea water conducive to floating around in. The penguin sanctuary is a natural wonder, and the penguins are so sociable they will often swim with the people. A secluded, wonderfully maintained beach. Although observable all year, the best time to visit is during the breeding season between February-August.

Best time to visit For the biggest volumes of game July-October is a perfect time to visit. October is the driest month and sees large congregations of animals but it is also very hot. For experiencing birdlife, December to March is good time to visit. Chobe is quieter (people numbers) in December – March which would give you more private game viewing. Once it gets to the busier high season (July-October) then vehicle numbers increase. A lot of the newborns appear November/December time. Thee bush is a lot greener and the cloud formations with the rains (December-March) can make for some great photography.
