VACATIONS
Penguins are fascinating, but they can be hard to encounter in the wild. Visitors to South Africa can see African penguins at Table Mountain National Park's Boulders Beach.
This beach is the only place where you can get up close and personal with wild African penguins. Boardwalks let visitors walk along the beach and observe the animals.
Unlike most wildlife experiences, visitors are in the open area with the penguins, making this an unforgettable destination for penguin lovers and wildlife enthusiasts in general.
Boulders Beach is sheltered by granite boulders, making it a great and safe habitat for thousands of African penguins. The beach is just a short drive from Cape Town.
Summer is the best time to see penguins in Boulders Beach, but if you want to see babies, visit in January. Get there early so you can see the birds when they are the most active.
