ITINERARY

1-3
Cape Town
City
After an overnight flight to Cape Town, you will be met at the airport, ready to experience two weeks of pleasure. Check in to your accommodation - Cape Town Hollow. Depending on the time you arrive, you could enjoy a drink at Camps Bay, gaze over the area from Table Mountain's heights or tour the historically-rich Robben Island Prison Museum. 

On Day 3 you will discover the region's beautiful sights. Gaze over the seemingly endless water as you journey down the Atlantic Seaboard via Sea Point, Clifton, and Camps Bay. Stop by Hout Bay, a sleepy fishing village lined with mountains and golden beaches; carry on via Chapman's Peak, an enthralling coastal drive, to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point - the point where the Atlantic and the Indian Ocean converge. Witness some fine examples of Victorian architecture in Simon's Town and see the local penguins at Boulders Beach. African penguins, a rare breed, are growing in numbers at the Boulders Penguin Colony, where you can observe them in their natural habitat and learn more about their threatened existence. The tour ends in the early evening at your hotel and you can spend the evening as you wish.

The Winelands

On day 4, you’ll relocate to Franschhoek where you will be staying at the Lavender Guest House. From here you'll enjoy a guide-led expedition through the local Winelands, finding out what makes South African wine so delectable. This tour includes three wine tastings, so you’ll be able to try a variety of different scents and flavors. You could also opt for a wine tram or a bike tour if you feel like exploring further afield.

After sampling a few glasses of wine, we’re sure that you’ll be ready to have a bite to eat. With strong French origins (Franschhoek translates as “French Corner” in Dutch) the area’s culinary scene is widely regarded. We recommend you try out places such as La Colombe, Foliage or Cafe Bonbon, but please note that lunch is not included on this tour.

Evening game drives commence from mid-afternoon, and there will be a break where you can enjoy a drink and snacks during the three to four-hour-long drives.

Dinner is the most special meal of the day: you’ll be sat around by a campfire as you sample traditional South African barbecue known as 'braaivleis', with various meats that are cooked over an open fire.
