Things You Didn’t Know About South Africa
When you think of South Africa, the first thing that probably comes to mind is Nelson Mandela and apartheid.
3. Cape Point isn’t the southernmost tip of Africa
It’s a common misconception among tourists who trek to the Cape of Good Hope and climb the steps to the lighthouse to assume there’s no land between them and Antarctica.
It certainly looks that way from this magnificent viewpoint.
Except for the inconvenient fact that those truly wishing to be at the bottom of Africa have to travel about another 170 kilometers southeast to the rocky outcrop at Cape Agulhas.
One more myth to bust: The Indian and Atlantic oceans don’t meet at Cape Point, they meet at Cape Agulhas.
