Today you explore the highlights of one of the most beautiful cities in the world!

The tour commences with a tour of Table Mountain (weather permitting). Enjoy panoramic views over the Mother City and the Atlantic Seaboard with Robben Island in the distance lying sleepily in Table Bay harbor. Travel along the Atlantic Seaboard via Sea Point, Clifton and Camps Bay, and Hout Bay for a short comfort stop. Continue via Chapman’s Peak, one of the world’s most breath-taking coastal drives, to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point which is perceived to be the meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Go on to historic Simon’s Town, a village with charming Victorian architecture, a naval base, and a large penguin colony at the beautiful Boulders Beach. Boulders Penguin Colony is home to a growing colony of the vulnerable African Penguin. Wooden walkways allow visitors to view the penguins in their natural habitat and there is also a new information center. A lunch stop is made nearby (lunch to own account). End the day with a visit to the well-known Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. The Garden includes five of South Africa’s six different biomes and is world-renowned for the beauty and diversity of the Cape Flora it displays as well as for the magnificence of its setting against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.

Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, and Paarl - Beautiful Wine Regions area

You have the morning at leisure to explore the city with attractions such as the Bo Kaap, Greenmarket Square, and Company Gardens to name but a few, or visit the V & A Waterfront with loads of entertainment, arts & craft stalls, and the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art, or even book a ferry to Robben Island (weather dependent).

In the afternoon you tour the beautiful Stellenbosch region, the historic heart of South Africa's wine industry. Enjoy some time in the bustling town of Stellenbosch where solid, white-plastered buildings arose and the streets were planted with oak trees, giving it the name Eikestad (Town of Oaks), which is still used to describe the town today. Walk down the canal-lined avenues, in the shade of those now giant oak trees and their beautifully preserved historic buildings. Stop in at one of the world-renowned estates for a wine tasting and tune into the soul of the region's wine lands. Return to your hotel after an enthralling day in the countryside. View on map
