Why don’t you see penguins in Britain? Because they’re afraid of Wales 😂
Ok, this is a very stupid joke, but penguins live almost exclusively in the Southern Hemisphere, with only one species, the Galapagos penguin, found north of the equator.

There's a penguin colony in South Africa which is less touristic and overpriced than the more famous Boulders Beach penguin colony. It's Stony point penguin colony, where you can observe penguins in an almost unspoiled area

Whaaat? Penguins in South Africa?!? If you want to see penguins in South Africa, then Stony Point is the place for you! It's not as famous as the more touristic Boulders Beach, home of another South African penguin colony, but it's more authentic because unspoiled and the entrance fee is also way cheaper ;)
