Subjects : For me, this is one of the most beautiful places in the world. It includes the smallest but richest of the Floral Kingdoms, the Fynbos. Also there are some of the most beautiful landscapes to photograph. There are beaches, shipwrecks, animals and birds, as well as whales and dolphins to see.

Recommended equipment : Depending on where your interest lies, from point and shoot to DSLR with Ultra wide to 300 or 400mm lens. There is something for everyone.

Best months : Summer is from Oct-March and normally quite windy, but there is more sunshine. The sun rises before 6am and sets around 8pm. Whales are most abundant from July - September.

How to get there : From directions at www.capepoint.co.za Coming from Cape Town via the False Bay side: Take the Eastern Boulevard out of town and follow the directions from the M3 to Claremont. Continue on the M3 until you reach the end of the highway, then turn left towards Muizenberg and Fish Hoek. Drive along the coast to the historic naval village of Simon's Town. Continue along the coastal road to Table Mountain National Park entrance on your left. A scenic drive through the National Park leads you to the parking area at Cape Point. Please note, the speed limit in the reserve is 60km/h! The direct drive from the gate to Cape Point will take you from 10 to 15 minutes.
