The trail then turns inland and takes you through the veld with wonderful seaviews. The birdlife on this trail is spectacular and we often see bontebok, ostrich and other wildlife along the way. 

Following the shipwreck trail we will drive to the Cape of Good hope and hike across the cliffs to Cape Point. This is a sensational 1 hour hike between these 2 iconic points.
