Day 1 What a better way to start your South African tour than with a trip by cable car up Table Mountain. See the whole of Cape Town and the peninsula from this great – vantage. After lunch at the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, we climb aboard a mega-yacht and take a cruise out to Robben Island, now a World Heritage sight. There we go ashore and visit the famous prison that was started in the colonial times and continued into the Apartheid era. It has been the home to many famous prisoners, the most famous being Nelson Mandela. Here we go on a guided tour and relive the trials and tribulations that these men went through. As we return to Cape Town you can watch the sun setting over the ocean. Once ashore you can indulge in the great diversity of nightlife that only Cape Town has to offer.

Day 2 Sit back and enjoy the scenery as we take a drive along the coast to the little fishing village of Hout Bay. There the seafood is served so fresh even the seagulls try to take it off your plate. Photo opportunities abound as we drive to the historical navy settlement of Simon’s Town. From there it’s a quick drive to Cape Point, the place where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. Along this route we visit beautiful places like Boulder’s Beach and the Simon’s Town Waterfront, After a full day we return to the Mother City.
Day 3 No trip to the Cape would be complete without a tour through the wine lands. We leave Cape Town via the N 1 and travel though the Huguenot Tunnel which takes us to the picturesque valleys of the Ceres. The order of the day is wine tasting and you can be thankful you’re not driving, as this is a full day affair We’ll also be enjoying lunch on one of these beautiful estates. Be sure to bring your credit card as you will be able to buy any of the wines you sample and this will be the biggest decision you have to make all day. We spend the night in Robertson, reflecting back on the day of wine tasting.
Day 4 After breakfast we depart for Oudtshoorn, a lovely little Karoo Town that is the Ostrich capital of the world and is home to the Cango Caves. After lunch, we tour the – caves where the breathtaking limestone formations have been sculptured by nature through the ages. If you can handle it we crawl through crevices and go into secret chambers. From there we visit the fastest animal in the world – the cheetah This member of the cat family is capable of reaching speeds in excess of 100kph (60mph). – The cheetah park is a breeding program and you will be able to touch and stroke them as you get to admire and respect their beauty. We also see the Bengal Tigers and over 400 crocodiles and alligators. In the evening we sit back and relax in the peace and tranquility of the Karoo. [the weather today in Outshoorn]
Day 5 Ever raced an ostrich? Well you’ll have the opportunity to do so today when we visit – the ostrich farm This flightless creature is the largest bird in the world and racing them is an experience like no other. 1t is an activity that is just as fun to watch as it is to do. From there we take a leisurely drive down the Robinson Pass making our way towards Mossel Bay. En route however we make a slight detour and stop at the – Gouritz River Bridge, the sight of a 75 metre bunji jump and bridge swing. If you don’t feel up to the bunji, then you can get your blood flowing with the tandem bridge swing. It’s then a short drive to Mossel Bay where we spend the night This beautiful town holds the world record for having the 2nd most moderate climate in the world, the 1st being Hawaii.
