    The Penguin Colony is a place recommended for a visit on every first trip to Cape Town and the Cape of Good Hope. On every guided tour to the Cape it is also a scheduled stop. Despite the plethora of tourists it brings, it's a fabulous place, with turquoise blue sea and lots of cute penguins!

      They created it nicely with the paths to the penguins. The entrance fee is quite decent, but this way you can keep the tourists away from the penguins in an orderly fashion. But you can also walk a little further and see the penguins there - undisturbed by the bus tourists:)

        An indescribable and unforgettable experience to see these penguins live and in freedom.
