Driving around Cape Town - Chapman's Peak
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 чер 2013
- The Chapman's Peak Drive loops along the Atlantic Coast from Noordhoek to Hout Bay, which belong to Cape Town's Metropolitan area.
With 114 curves along the rocky coastline it is one of the famous scenic rides around Cape Town and is therefore quite popular with advertising companies which are shooting ads for cars, etc. there.
It became a toll-road due to quite expensive maintenance-works. So I cut out the waiting line at the point-of-payment... ;)
The second and third cut was made due to a long drive where you didn't see a thing but maintenance works and bushes and stones...
The rest of the drive has been double-timed only.
At 1:25 you can see one of the shark-spotter flags. At that moment there have been good spotting conditions and no sharks... Good for surfers... ;)
The huge beach belongs to Noordhoek and is around 8km long.
This clip is meant to be an afterglow for all my family, friends and fellows who I met at Tygerberg Hospital in Cape Town, South Africa 2011/12 and - hemhem - again in 2013. ;)
That was such a great time!
The track is called "Today I feel" by Oberst & Buchner, remixed by Alex Q.
Huge thanks to the three guys for allowing me using this track!!!
Buy it, if you like it!

My wife absolutely hates heights. Going over even a bus size flyover she nearly passes out. I was in Fish Hoek a few weeks ago on holiday. We were following the GPS into Cape Town and it took us this route. My wife and her two sister all had to lie on the floor of the car. I wasnt popular that day BUT it is the most spectacular ten minute drive I have ever had. I so desperately wanted to pull over to one of the scenic view stops but they wouldnt let me the bastards!!!!
Fear of heights is terrible! Believe me they hate themselves too. I suffer same, everytime I climb up to Signal hill I start to feel extremely lightheaded and have this overwhelming feeling of loosing control, like I’ll pass out any second. I force myself most time because I love the place but it’s almost not worth it
oh cape Town. my heart is ever with you.

I do this drive atleast 3 times a week with my wife! Nothing beats it.
The drive back from llandudno to camps bay is beautiful too.
I also did this drive; It was one of the best experiences I had. The scenic views are best in the world, especially during sunset. Love South Africa
Great video.
I worked in South Africa in the early 80s and visited Cape Town in December 1983. I drove along Chapman's Peak road and thought it was stunning. I remember having a picnic in one of the lay-bys.
This video is so beautiful...can't wait to witness this beauty with my own eyes!!
Beautiful💖💖bonding of nature and engineering. 👍👍👍Superb video. I love it.. 😍😍👌👌👍👍👍👍
Love South Africa 🇿🇦

I did that drive. When I stayed in Cape Town for just over a month we went out for long drives to different places every day. Was an awesome time.
If you really want to enjoy Chapmans in all its raw glory, cycle up and back from either side. It is truly spectacular. I have done it on many occasions, and it is a special treat every time. Cars are very bike aware on that stretch so it is safe. Riding on a weekend is even more fun due to the sheer volume of cyclists sharing that stretch. There is always such a jovial mood around that part of the peninsula when out cycling. People are friendly and courteous and no one has any stress when riding. Life's issues are forgotten for a brief moment allowing people to just be.
Imagine driving your Dream Car during a Sunset with the person you love right next to you.......oh boy c:
playing those nice songs
Heaven on Earth..!
I do it in my white 2018 911 turbo S three times a week with my wife!
Playing some old classics.
Absolutely stunning.
Nothing beats it.
Yeh i have done so , just a pity about all the political crap and lazy exports depreciating the rand along with other factors we might never know of due to lack of transparency. All the crime also is really not great either. Great country though when you consider what it has compared to many other 3rd and even some 1st word places.
@@CollosalTrollge ohh god.... did you really have to include politics.... do you have someone to keep you busy
Thanks for posting this. We drove here early 2018 and were blown away by the whole country: so diverse and beautiful.
Hey there, do you recommend the driving from Noordhoek or from Hout Bay?
My favourite country ever. I lived there for a few years
Baie dankie!
I just took this trip....The views were spectacular!
Wow...just amaxed at the scenery man. God is good indeed
this is beautiful roads and view
As this tour illustrates, there is so much beauty here and throughout Africa; the cultures and people.
Beautiful road to drive breath taking scenery..loved my drive from Simons town to camps bay in November drove it a dozen times ❤❤
thanks for uploading this Video....did my last Holiday at Capetown...it was awesome :)
Things that made me move to Cape town:
1. People
2. Scenery
3. Food
4. Nature
5. Weather
I love it, and it is my dream to move there.
By people you probably mean white people
The people were also one of my reasons for moving here, all races, unlike the rest of the country different races actually get along here.
@@zanderlabuschagne2368 what about security?
@@baccobille I hear about gang violence often on the news, I have not witnessed anything first hand yet, I guess it depends on where exactly you live. Someone once told me that in Cape Town you can gou from the nicest neighbourhoods to the most dangerous places in less than 5 minutes, it's probably exaggerated but there are some bad neighbourhoods quite close to safe neighbourhoods. I have seen many suburbs or areas that requires you to drive through a gate and/or that are monitored by CCTV cameras which seems safe.
There are areas that you should avoid during night and keep your car doors locked but compared to Gauteng it's not really that bad, just watch your mirrors and keep your eyes open. I feel safe where I live, it's quiet, environment is full of nature, you can walk outside on the street and feel safe. Many neighbourhoods are like this but not all.
Never go hike alone, that seems to be a popular place for muggings. By not alone I mean at least 2 men, I have heard of a few couples or people who went hiking alone that got robbed or injured or killed. Emergency services and neighbourhood watches are also very active and responsive.
This is perfectly choreographed. Job well done!
Outstanding view!
Memories.... used to live in Camps Bay many moons ago. Good times.
Fan-freaking-tastic !!
I’ve been there and it is one of the most beautiful places on earth. Just driving along the coast makes you feel like you are in paradise.
Love you Cape Town, hopefully I can return one day with the one that I love lol.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate your feedback!
I was tickled by the town Fish Hoek! LOL

You should definitely then come visit if you havenet done so already.
Great Video 5*****
I need to get back there one day
Set the playback to 0.5x and view Chapman Peak at a normal realistic driving speed.
1:40 unsurprisingly looks very much like Hwy 1 along the coast of California
The air there looks very fresh?
Yes that would be my most precious dream
You'll find a different perspective of Chapman's Peak Drive in my new clip! From above... ;)

WOW Beautiful!
I cannot find this version of the song on itunes from the links provided above. Does anyone know where i can get it/?
James Lloyd-Jones Mmmmh, when I give it a try, it works... Even within the US and UK-store. Maybe you should try this link (iTunes UK)? Good luck! itunes.apple.com/gb/album/today-i-feel/id502387632
Allesverloren-Blog Thanks for the message, yes UK itunes. The link works, it take me to itunes but the song on the video is not one of the 5 songs listed.
Oh sorry! But look what I've found instead:

Enjoy! ;)
We stopped at sunset and my husband asked me to marry him overlooking False Bay. Never forget it!
Certainly a scenic route - and not a very wide road, at speed!
its like Stinson beach on steriods
Gorgeous footage. May I use about 30-40 seconds of the scenic footage **with credit** for a video interview I am doing? I am interviewing an musician that came from Hout Bay and he's describing growing up there, and driving through Chapman's Peak, and this footage would be perfect to go along with what he was saying. If not, no issues. But I'd give credit both in the video, and in the description.
Hi @zshadowofadoubt! Thanks for the compliments and for asking to use some footage. I really appreciate that! Sure, you can use some scenes. If it helps you, I can send you some original scenes (not all of them, because they are way too big) - just dm me if you like.
Wish I could visit South Africa soon again...
What's the name of this road?
Its name is "Chapman's Peak Dr"

I went there last year
you were running 2 oceans marathon?
Is this by dash cam?
Hi, TheClassofAl! Nope, it was shot with a GoPro Hero3 mounted on top of the car's roof with the suction cup.
@@Allesverlorenblog This is one of my favourite drives.
@@Allesverlorenblog Absolutely amazing ❣️ it was like I was the driver in that car. Great video 👌👏
That driver infront of you doesn't know the width of their vehicle
And can't regulate the distance of where they are from their car to the curb
2:40
How muchw ill it cost to build a fucking massive house on the cliffs hanging above the sea?
It's scary
I don't wish to be there. Though it good to drive at that apex
schone land
Angelika O Est ist ein sehr schöne land....
I can't drive in these road guys.
There’s no rails hell no
I get wood in my pants when I think about driving this I did rt101 Stinson beach ca but this is really high up
I really want to marry south african girl to resit cap town
