Day 2: Cape Town City & Table Mountain

After breakfast, set out on a guided city tour of Cape Town. Visit the historic Company’s Garden, the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood, and Greenmarket Square before making your way to the cable car station. Ride to the top of Table Mountain and take in sweeping views of the city, ocean, and surrounding landscapes. Return to your hotel in the afternoon for time to relax or explore at your own pace.

Day 3: Cape Peninsula Adventure

Today you embark on a full-day tour of the spectacular Cape Peninsula. Travel along the scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive to Hout Bay, where you can opt for a boat ride to Seal Island. Continue to the Cape of Good Hope and Cape Point, the southwestern tip of Africa. On your way back, stop at Boulders Beach to watch the charming colony of African penguins. Conclude the day with a delicious seafood dinner before returning to Cape Town.

This morning, take a domestic flight to Kruger National Park or a nearby private game reserve. On arrival, transfer to your safari lodge and settle in before heading out on your first game drive.
