| Leg 1 - South Africa |
Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of South Africa and the African continent is the starting point of Africa Adventure's Cape to Cape and it is here where the warm Indian Ocean meets the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean. |

| From here the road takes us along the spectacular coast line of the Southern Cape to Cape Point on the Cape Peninsula. Altough many say it is here where the two oceans meet, marine biologists and other scientists pin it at Cape Agulhas. However, looking down the steep cliffs and following the ever present white line of white foam stretching far to the south, it is easy to believe that this could be in fact the point where the two great oceans meet. |

| Cape Town, the mother city of South Africa, nestled at the foot of the towering Table Mountain is a city well worth visiting and has only to share the fame of being the most beautiful city on earth with Rio De Janeiro in Brazil. |
