The Most Instagrammable Hotels in Cape of Good Hope, South Africa


The Cape of Good Hope is the end of the world in South Africa. Contrary to popular belief, it is not the southernmost point of the continent, but the Cape of Agulhas. 

The names of Bartolomeu Dias and Vasco da Gama are forever associated with the legend of the rocky promontory. Historically, the journey to India required going around the Cape of Good Hope, which was mistakenly considered the southern tip of the continent. Unfortunately, strong winds, rocky coves and unpredictable tides led to marine disasters. It is understandable why Bartolomeu Dias, the Portuguese explorer who first landed on the cape on 12 March 1488, named it 'Cabo Tormentoso' or Cape of Storms. 

To get to Cape Point, the country's southernmost promontory, you have to walk down the Cape Peninsula, which cuts a path between the Atlantic Ocean and False Bay. This peninsula is part of the Table Mountain National Park. 

At last you can say that you have gone to the end of the world!
