South Africa Boulders Penguin Colony
At Boulders Beach near the small village of Simonstown, about 2.500 penguins are living. There is a reservation located where these nice animals are protected. You can walk along wooden paths and watch the birds lie in the sun or go swimming. It's very, very nice to go there.
Photography Tips
You should have a wide-angle lens with you to capture the landscape and many of the penguins and a tele lens to shoot some portraits.
Not all pictures are taken exactly from the spot shown on the map but all are taken from spots around the location.

Travel Information
I got there by bus when we visited South Africa. Therefore I don't know if public transport is provided. But you can easily get there by car and parking is possible nearby.
