In which country is the Cape of Good Hope?

Cape of Good Hope is a rocky promontory at the southern end of Cape Peninsula, Western Cape province, South Africa. It was first sighted by the Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias in 1488 on his return voyage to Portugal.

One historical account says that Dias named it "Cape of Storms" and that John II of Portugal renamed it "Cape of Good Hope", because its discovery was a good omen that India could be reached by sea from Europe. Other sources attribute its present name to Dias himself.

South Africa is the southernmost country on the African continent, renowned for its varied topography, great natural beauty, and cultural diversity, all of which have made the country a favored destination for travelers since the legal ending of apartheid in 1994.
