Boulders Penguin Colony
Simons Town, South Africa
Boulders at Simon’s Town offers the chance to observe a land-based colony of African penguins from designated viewing areas and boardwalks. Granite boulders, sand and sheltered coastal scenery create a distinctive setting, but the birds and their conservation should remain the focus. Choose it as part of a Peninsula day with enough time to watch their behaviour quietly. Keep to the designated routes and give the animals space rather than seeking close encounters.
