Cape Town Tijgerhof is located in the heart of Cape Town and is an excellent base for exploring South Africa's diverse nature and culture. Remember that South Africans drive on the left side of the road, which requires extra attention during your first days behind the wheel. From here, you can reach Table Mountain in just a few minutes, and along the coastal road heading south, dramatic views await at Chapmans Peak Drive before you reach Boulders Beach near Simon's Town, known for its colony of African penguins, less than an hour's drive away.

If you want to explore the Cape Peninsula fully, you can drive the entire route around the peninsula, past Cape Point, a stretch of just over 15 miles with stops at vineyards, beaches and fishing villages along the way.
