Simon’s Town is one of the oldest towns in South Africa, located a short distance outside of Cape Town. A relaxing beach town, you’ll find the atmosphere to be very slow. Almost to a standstill as this tourist location gives off the pleasant vibes of no worries and to take your time. Small marketplaces selling local arts and crafts, restaurants, and very picturesque ocean views and mountain hikes are only a small part of this south African homestead. What draws the rest of its appeal is the local wildlife, one animal in particular.
