After full and eventful days, we’ll relax in double rooms at Hotel Sky Cape Town 4*. The hotel offers everything for a pleasant evening — an open-air pool, gym, restaurant, and views of the ocean and mountains.
Single accommodation is available at an extra cost.
Participants arrive at different time (see “Place & Time of the group meeting” for details), so the first day is free. You can rest after your flight, stroll along the promenade, or spend the evening on the beach. If most of the group arrives during the day, we’ll gather for a seaside picnic.
Our introduction to the city begins where mountains meet the sea and Victorian mansions stand beside Eastern quarters.
We’ll visit the Company’s Garden and Greenmarket Square — a historical marketplace from colonial times — and then stroll through the colorful Bo-Kaap district, famous for its rainbow-painted houses.
After lunch, we’ll take the funicular up Table Mountain for sweeping views of the city, bay, and Atlantic coastline.
We’ll travel to the Stellenbosch Valley, the heart of South African winemaking. We’ll visit two wineries — one of the oldest and most traditional in the region, and another modern, equipped with cutting-edge technology.
Each tasting includes up to six wines (included in the price). Light snacks are available for an additional fee.
Afterward, we’ll visit the Dylan Lewis Sculpture Garden, where art and nature blend seamlessly — the sculptures seem to grow out of the surrounding hills.
After breakfast, we’ll drive along Chapman’s Peak Drive, one of the most scenic coastal routes in the world.
Our first stop is a beach home to a colony of wild penguins. We’ll observe them from a safe distance — these charming creatures are not shy around people but can be quite spirited.
Next, we’ll visit an ostrich farm to see the full breeding process, from incubators to adult birds. You’ll have a chance to feed young ostriches and enjoy a lunch featuring ostrich meat and eggs right on the farm.
In the afternoon, we’ll reach the legendary Cape of Good Hope, where the cold waters of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans meet. We’ll walk along the cliffs, see the old lighthouse, and have a seaside picnic with a glass of wine and light snacks. Brave swimmers can take a dip — the water is brisk, but the experience is unforgettable.
After an early breakfast, we’ll head to a private nature reserve for a safari. The drive will take a few hours, but the reward is the chance to see Africa’s legendary Big Five — lions, leopards, elephants, rhinos, and buffaloes — along with zebras, giraffes, cheetahs, hippos, antelopes, and over 170 bird species.
The safari will last around 4–5 hours. After lunch in the reserve, we’ll return to Cape Town in the evening. You’ll have free time to dine on the waterfront or simply enjoy the city’s night lights.
A slower-paced day begins with a visit to the Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, located at the foot of Table Mountain. It features thousands of plant species, shaded trails, ponds, and a treetop canopy walkway offering stunning views.
After lunch, we’ll explore the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, the liveliest area of Cape Town, full of street performers, musicians, shops, cafés, and markets. Optional visits include the Museum of African Art, Aquarium, or Diamond Museum (entry fees not included).
In the evening, we’ll dine by the water and then embark on a sunset yacht cruise — calm seas, a soft breeze, and the sinking sun will make for a perfect finale to the day.
This day has no fixed schedule. You can go hiking, surfing, diving, or fishing. Those seeking a thrill may take a helicopter flight for a bird’s-eye view of Cape Town (~$200).
In the afternoon, we’ll gather again for a farewell picnic on Clifton Beach, watching our last African sunset.
