Visit Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of the African continent

Stand at the very tip of Africa, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans literally meet. Overlooking this dramatic coastline, the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse – South Africa’s second-oldest still in operation – offers sweeping ocean views and a glimpse into maritime history. A scenic boardwalk connects the lighthouse to the Map of Africa monument and the stone marker that pinpoints the continent’s southernmost tip. Follow the path a little further and you’ll spot the Meisho Maru shipwreck, its rusted remains a striking reminder of the Cape’s wild seas and a favourite stop for photographers. Come for the scenery, the stories, or simply to experience the feeling of truly standing at the end of Africa.
