The work on Chapmans Peak Drive began in 1915 and it was formally opened in 1922. In January 2000 it had to be closed due to rock falls, and so began one of the most innovative road engineering projects in South Africa. Chapmans Peak was reopened as a toll road in 2003. Unfortuanately the road had to be closed again shortly after that, but it is still possible to drive approximately 4km in to the highest point.
That is exactly what we did not long ago. There are many lookout points from where the spectacular natural beauty of this piece of coast can be enjoyed. You can enjoy a picnic basket while looking out over Hout Bay.
When visiting Cape Town this is certainly one of the many places you just don't want to miss.
If you stay in my bachelor's flat in Bellville, it is only 40 minutes away from this beautiful drive.
