An eight-day Cape loop with three distinct Cape Town days, a non-driving Winelands day, Hermanus coast and the lighthouse and southernmost marker at Cape Agulhas. Wildlife and weather-dependent access are never guaranteed.

Cape Town, the Winelands & Cape Agulhas is a 500 km loop (self-drive). It works best as an 8-day trip; the plan below is the 8-day version for February, built from 221 verified places, with real road-routed transit times, opening hours and daylight checked.

Long summer days suit the Cape Peninsula and coast, but major sites are busy and wind can stop the Table Mountain Cableway. Confirm every booked component and live park status.
