This morning we visited the colony of African Penguins breeding at Boulders Beach in Simonstown, the historic naval town located south of Cape Town on the coast of False Bay.
Of course we’ll share more about Boulders, and the African Penguin, when we return from our holiday!

Wow! Did not know you have penguins in South Africa! I know there are some islands in Caribbean, I think it´s, who have penguins. The most of them like cold water, much because it´s more food there. In Swedish the name of that penguin is South African penguin, direct translated. 🙂

You are right, John – penguins are mostly associated with Antarctica. I think only those of the Galapagos Islands are located further away from the southern ice than ours are.
