    1. Cape Point

    Cape Point is a nature reserve that offers stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and the rugged coastline. With Echo Wild Africa, you can take a guided tour of the reserve and explore the many hiking trails that wind through the fynbos vegetation. You can also visit the lighthouse, which offers panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. I grew up in this reserve, spending the first 19 years of my life here. I consider Cape Point to be my garden and I know my garden and its inhabitants extremely well. This provides me with the ability to offer my guests a very special and unique experience when on tour with me and Echo Wild Africa.
