The first explorer to reach the southern most tip of Africa was a Portuguese explorer. His name was Bartolomeo Dias and he reached the tip on March 12th in 1488.
I think Bartolomeu Dias in the late 1400's.
Then the Dutch East India Company with Jan van Riebeeck settled in what is now Cape Town around the mid 1600's.
