Cape Point Nature Reserve
Situated at the south western tip of Africa, the Cape Point Nature Reserve is one of the most pristine and unspoiled places on earth. With its dramatic cliffs, pristine beaches, and breathtaking views, the reserve is truly a sight to behold.
Cape Point is more than just a pretty place; it is also home to a unique variety of fauna and flora. From the rare Cape mountain zebra and Bontebok, to the beautiful orange-breasted sunbird and pelagic birds that drift in the air currents just off shore, there is an abundance of wildlife to be found in this special place.
There are miles of hiking trails winding their way through the reserve, so hikers and joggers will have plenty to explore. Whether you are looking for an adventure or simply a place to relax and soak up the beauty of nature, Cape Point Nature Reserve is sure to exceed your expectations.
Cape Point Nature Reserve is also home to a lighthouse that has been in operation since 1857. The lighthouse is situated on the edge of a cliff, offering stunning views of the surrounding coastline. One can reach the lighthouse be tram or by foot once you have reached the public area in the reserve.

Meet Donovan Goliath, the Eastern Cape-born, Joburg-based creative exploring Cape Town with a fresh perspective.
This week, Donovan is swapping city streets for vineyard views as he heads to Stellenbosch to spend time with Vivian Kleynhans, founder and CEO of Seven Sisters Vineyards.
One of the first, and still one of the few, 100% POC-owned wine farms in Stellenbosch, Seven Sisters is a family-run winery built on a love of great wine, female empowerment, and the kind of hospitality that makes you feel like part of the family. Expect intimate tastings, paired menus, and stories poured just as generously as the wine.
As Donovan works his way through the range (strictly for research purposes, of course), Vivian shares the journey behind the label: her family roots, the vision that inspired Seven Sisters, and how determination helped turn a dream into one of South Africa’s most inspiring wine success stories.
Donovan’s Cape Town story continues. Follow Love Cape Town on socials to keep up with the journey.

Meet Donovan Goliath, the Eastern Cape-born, Joburg-based creative exploring Cape Town with a fresh perspective.
Next on Donovan’s itinerary: Cape Town’s creative spaces.
One stop on Donovan’s journey is A33, a café, gallery, and listening room that doubles as a cultural hub, bringing together people from all walks of life.
Owner Pule Takoubong created the space with a simple vision: to reconnect people with the analogue world and encourage them to be fully present.
For Donovan, it’s the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee and an igwinya, the beloved South African deep-fried dough bread also known as vetkoek, while soaking up the art and music around him.
“There is something about it that makes you feel at home, and something that makes you go, ‘Let me turn off my phone and immerse myself in it.’”
