Apart from diving with Great White Sharks, snorkeling with seals and riding an ostrich, you can make your stay in South Africa unforgettable by having a swim with the penguins of Boulders Beach in Simon's Town.

Simon's Town, about half an hour from Cape Town, harbors one of the largest breeding colonies of the African penguin. Here these funny but endangered little creatures have found a safe haven with the result a stabile and healthy colony.

You can observe the penguins from the shore, or from the water as the park allows you to swim where they swim.
