Description:

The glorious South Africa Road trip commences with the arrival at Cape Town International Airport. Greet the tour guide who will help you transfer to the hotel. Say hello to the rest of the members of the tourist group and then freshen up at the hotel room. There is no activity planned for the day, so venture out on your own to explore the vibrant culture and cuisine of South Africa at Cape Town. Book an Uber to Camps Bay to take in the views of the sunset and opt for exciting activities like heli-flip, paragliding, hiking, and sightseeing tour by bus if you are feeling up for it.

Description:

Make your way to the beautiful fishing village, Hout Bay, after breakfast at the Cape Town hotel. Check out the colony of cute seals at Duiker Island and then indulge in a quick shopping spree at the colorful local harbor markets. Drive along the thrilling bends and turns of the rugged Chapman’s Peak road, that overlooks the unfathomable Atlantic, until you reach Cape of Good Hope. Admire the jagged shoreline of wilderness and water and opt for a trip to the lighthouse too. Make your town to Boulder’s Beach in Simon’s Town to check out the African penguins and drive through Kalk Bay and Fish Hoek back to Cape Town.

Description:

Today is mostly about sampling wines and admiring the lush beauty of nature. Begin the day with the fun indulgence of the natural charm and quirky culture of food and wine of Cape Town at the famous Stellenbosch Winelands. Take a tour of the fertile basin of garden-to-table wine farms, organic gardens, vineyards, and vintners. Drop in at the glass-walled tasting room to sample the world-class quality wines and blends while feasting your eyes on the splendid views far and beyond. Visit Marianne Wine Estate to savor cured meat and wine and then proceed to Clos Malverne for ice-creams and sparkly drinks.

Description:

There are no tours for the day, so you can venture out on your own to explore the local culture, art, expression, and food. Hop on the sightseeing tour bus to explore the gems of the city or make your way to the Table Mountain for a ride in the famous cable car that offers sweeping vistas of scenery to the rider. The hop-on-hop-off tourist bus follows either the blue line, or the purple line, or the red line. The blue line follows the route from Waterfront to Kirstenbosch. The purple line follows the wine route, and the red line takes you through the beautiful Camps Bay.
