A relaxed end to a safari
Cape Town is the city that has everything in one frame: a flat-topped mountain in the clouds, two oceans, beaches, vineyards 40 minutes away, and a food scene that punches well above the price. It is the most-loved add-on we sell.
It works two ways — as the civilised finale to a Botswana safari for international guests routing home via Cape Town, and as a long-weekend escape for our SADC clients. Either way it's visa-light, infrastructure-rich and endlessly walkable.
We build in the essentials (Table Mountain with a weather backup plan, Cape Point and the penguins, a winelands day with lunch booked) and leave room for the city to surprise you.
Highlights
- Table Mountain cableway (with a weather backup)
- Cape Point and the Boulders Beach penguins
- Cape winelands — Stellenbosch and Franschhoek
- Robben Island and Bo-Kaap heritage
- World-class restaurants and the V&A Waterfront
