Tour of Cape Town
Wines and vines
Half day tour of Cape Town
Hop into your private vehicle for a half day exploration of the Mother City. Highlights include the Houses of Parliament, the Castle – South Africa’s oldest building, built between 1666 and 1679, the daily market in Green Market Square, and, of course, spectacular views over the city from Table Mountain. On the descent, you can stop at the Bo Kaap, home to the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses.
Into the wines and vines
This private guided tour takes you into the picturesque Winelands, where you can discover wine farms, quaint historical towns and vine-blanketed hills as well as some of the country’s top restaurants and boutiques. Your guide will choose wine estates and a restaurant that suit your specific tastes, and will also be able to recommend any other artistic, botanical, historic or cultural stops you may be interested in.
Days 3–6
Safari in Sabi Sands
Spend three nights on safari in the private game reserve of Sabi Sands. With an abundance of game, particularly leopards, which makes it one of the best places in South Africa to see the Big Five, Sabi Sands is well deserving of its recognition as one of Africa’s premier game reserves. Prepare for some captivating game viewing as the well–accustomed animals get up close to your safari vehicle.
Where you could stay
Game Drives in Sabi Sands
See why Sabi Sands is regarded as one of Africa’s premier game reserves on a morning or afternoon game drive. Head out into the bush in your private vehicle, where you’ll have the chance to spot the Big Five and an abundance of other wildlife – look out for leopards in particular.
Days 6–7
A night in Windhoek
Your next stop is Windhoek, Namibia’s calm and compact capital. It’s one of the smallest capital cities in the world with a population of just 234,000. The city itself has some fascinating buildings with typical German architecture, and a burgeoning restaurant scene.
Days 7–10
Sossusvlei Sand Dunes
Populated with some of the world’s highest dunes, all set beneath a deep blue sky, no self-respecting Namibian safari would be complete without a visit to the awe-inspiring Sossuvlei. Spend your days here exploring the desert sands on foot and by quad bike. When you’re back at your accommodation, have some drinks and watch the sun set in one of the world’s most striking locations.
Where you could stay
Quadbiking
Set out on a quad bike trail through the dunes, led by an experienced guide. Enjoy the solitude and majesty of the desert as the trail winds over the dunes and rocky outcrops. As the day winds to a close, stop to enjoy a chilled sundowner as a dazzle of stars slowly comes to full, blazing life in the velvety night sky.
Days 10–13
Three nights in Damaraland
The Damaraland area offers sensational views of the surrounding desert plains, ancient valleys and soaring peaks of the Brandberg Mountains. Home to desert elephants, steenboks, baboons, kudu, porcupines, zebras, gemsboks, black rhinos, giraffes and elephants, you will have a truly memorable wildlife extravaganza.
Beyond the animals, you can visit the galleries of bushman rock art in the Brandberg Mountains and the Twyfelfontein rock engravings.
