DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 1: Arrive in Vibrant Cape Town

Arrive at Cape Town International Airport and transfer to the Welgelegen Guest House. Located in the City Bowl, this refurbished Victorian-style guest house combines the sentiment of the past with the style of the present.

Trendy Kloof Street is just a short stoll away and offers you a taste of Cape Town's bustling city atmosphere.

Explore Cape Town during the day, and take a trip to the V&A Waterfront which has an excellent choice of restaurants and shops. Alternatively, take a drive out to the Constantia Winelands for a day of wine-tasting.

Accommodation included in tour cost: 
Welgelegen Guest House


Day 2: Hear the Cultural Sounds of Cape Town

Travel through Cape Town, experiencing a fusion of African, European, and American sounds, mixed with a unique Cape Town flavour.

Like most Jazz scenes, the best venues are difficult to find, but don't worry, the guide on The Cape Town Jazz Safari knows how to find the most authentic jazz experiences. You'll be able to listen to music in a variety of locations, including District 6 and Bridgetown.

Accommodation included in tour cost: 
Welgelegen Guest House


Days 3-4: Go on a Table Mountain Overnight Trail

Hike up Table Mountain on the Hoerikwagga Trail, with your personal guide. All guides have been selected from previously disadvantaged backgrounds and have received formal training to ensure that anyone under their care will experience a professional and insightful stay on the mountain.

Dealing with tourists takes more than just knowledge about the area and the guides are sent to Theatre of Africa, where they are taught the art of storytelling, which helps them to interact with people from all walks of life.

This set of trails elicits the true spirit of Hoerikwagga, the sea mountain, in a way that tourists are seldom exposed to. The trails were built by 400 previously unemployed and unskilled people from Table Mountain's surrounding communities.

Whichever trail you choose, you will wake up to the fragrant fynbos and unbelievable views, all in the spirit of Hoerikwagga.


Day 5: Experience Cape Cosmopolitan Culture

Spend your day lazing around the pool, or on the beach, or take part in some extreme sport activities, like skydiving and shark cage diving.

Watch the sunset from any number of beach-front cocktail bars before you begin your night on the town. Venture out into the Camps Bay nightlife as there are many restaurants and clubs for you to explore.

Accommodation included in tour cost: 
Primi Sea Castle


Day 6: Immerse Yourself in Cape Malay Flavour

In the Cape Malay Cooking Experience you learn how intricately history, religion and cooking intertwine and influence the Cape Malay culture. Visit the Bo-Kaap museum, and walk down historical streets filled with mosques and brightly coloured buildings.

Enjoy the full cooking experience as you explore a local spice shop, looking for all the ingredients necessary for a traditional Cape Malay meal. Then, watch as your hostess prepares a meal for you while regaling stories and anecdotes for you to enjoy.

The tour ends with the moment that everyone has been waiting for - a traditional Cape Malay meal.

Accommodation included in tour cost: 
Primi Sea Castle


Day 7: Sample an African Safari and See the Big 5

Travel a mere 2 hours out of Cape Town for your safari adventure at Aquila Private Game Reserve.

There are many game-viewing activities for you to choose from, including morning and evening game drives, horse-back and quad bike safaris.

See the Big 5 and many other large mammals, including giraffe and hippo. The expansive area is filled with both fynbos and succulent vegetation. Aquila is also a prime bird-watching location, with 172 species of birds to be seen.

Spend some time browsing in the African curio shop, where you can buy products of expert craftsmanship of the Khoi/San people.

Accommodation included in tour cost: 
Primi Sea Castle


Day 8: Say Goodbye to Cape Town

Transfer back to Cape Town International Airport for your outbound flight. Pre-arrange with one of our African Travel Specialists for a further African experience.
