Day by day

The journey, one day at a time

01Cape Town airport → Cape Town

Into Cape Town

Mountain and sea.

Arrive in Cape Town, met and transferred to your accommodation. A South African trip built only on bush misses half the country. <strong>Cape Town, the Peninsula and the Garden Route add scenery, sea, penguins, whales, fynbos and wine</strong> — a completely different register that turns a safari into a fuller, more varied journey. Pairing the two is the classic, and best, way to see the country.

02Cape Town

Mountain, ocean & wine

Out on the water.

Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, the Boulders penguins and the winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. More of the Cape — Cape Point, the beaches, the marine life and the wine country.

03Cape Town

Mountain, ocean & wine

Slow coastal days.

More of the Cape — Cape Point, the beaches, the marine life and the wine country. Transfer to Cape Town and settle in, with time to get your bearings.

04Cape Town

Mountain, ocean & wine

Vines and views.

Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, the Boulders penguins and the winelands of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek.

05Cape Town → onward

Departure

A last morning, then the road home.

A final morning in onward — a last outing or a slow start as time allows — before the transfer onward and the journey home.

When to travel

The season changes what you see.

Nov – Mar

Cape summer

Warm, dry and sunny — prime season for Table Mountain, the Peninsula, the beaches and the winelands.

Jun – Oct

Cape winter & whales

Cooler and wetter, but the best whale-watching months, with southern right whales close inshore.
