Day 1 : Arrival Cape Town / Car Pick-Up (20Km – 30Min)

Location: Cape Town

Upon arrival in Cape Town, you will be met by a local guide, who will hand over all necessary documents, and escort you to your rental car collection point. Enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure or explore the numerous museums, beaches and restaurants. In 1652, Cape Town was founded by the Dutch East India Company as a refreshment station for its ships on the way to the riches of the east. The Castle and the Company Gardens go back to these humble beginnings. A visit to the city centre with its many historical buildings and different architecture as well as a trip with the cable car to the top of Table Mountain are highly recommended. The Victoria & Alfred Waterfront is considered one of the main attractions. Here you will find numerous bars, restaurants, boutiques and shops, cinemas and the aquarium. Outside the amphitheatre, there is regular live entertainment. All combined with the continuous activity of a working harbour.

Overnight in Cape Town.

Day 2 : Cape Town – Peninsula Drive – Cape Town (160Km – 3Hrs)

Location: Cape Town

Indulge in a tasty breakfast at the hotel. Today’s we suggest that you drive to the Peninsula, a road that leads through an ever-changing landscape of majestic mountains, vast oceans, rugged cliffs and indigenous ‘fynbos’ vegetation. The route follows the Atlantic Seaboard to the fishing harbour of Hout Bay where you can stop to take a boat trip to Duiker Island, home to a colony of Cape Fur Seals. The route over scenic Chapman’s Peak Drive leads through the rural villages of Noordhoek, Oceanview, Kommetjie and Scarborough to the entrance of the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Here, the landscape is rugged and it is no wonder that the Portuguese seafarers called the cape “Cabo Tormentoso”, meaning the Cape of Storms. Visit the Cape of Good Hope, the most south-western tip of the African Continent. The Old Lighthouse at Cape Point offers a spectacular viewing platform over False Bay. It takes approx. 30 minutes to walk from the visitor’s car park to the Lighthouse summit or a few minutes on the funicular railway. The next stop is Boulder’s Beach, where a colony of African Penguins settled in the early 1980s. Access to the Penguin Colony is managed by the National Parks Board. The Penguin Colony can be safely viewed from elevated boardwalks, overlooking their nesting grounds and beach. The Penguins mate for life, generally lay 2 x eggs, and the parents share responsibility for taking care of the nest and their young. The journey continues through Simons Town where the South African Naval Headquarters are located. The seaside towns of Fish Hoek and Muizenberg border the False Bay coastline and are popular for their swimming beaches in summer and the viewing of Southern Right Whales in winter.

Overnight in Cape Town.

Day 3 : Cape Town (30Km – 1Hr)

Location: Cape Town

Enjoy a rich breakfast at the hotel. Cape Town has so much diversity to offer, why not explore the following at leisure. The centrally located Company’s Gardens were established by the Dutch East India Company in the 17th century to grow fruit and vegetables to supply its fleet, and to trade with the visiting Mariners. Here a variety of trees, shrubs and flowers are grown around the historical buildings, including the South African Parliament and the State President’s guesthouse, the “Tuinhuis”. The City Hall, Built in 1905 in Neo-Classical style from sandstone shipped in from Bath in England, City Hall is reminiscent of British rule in the Cape. The clock tower was modelled on the Big Ben of London. President Nelson Mandela delivered his first public speech from the City Hall’s balcony after his release from prison. The Bo-Kaap, formerly known as the Cape Malay Quarter, is situated on the slopes of Signal Hill. Founded in the 18th century it is characterised by mosques, brightly painted Georgian terrace houses and narrow cobbled streets. Most of the inhabitants are descendants of slaves from the East. The Bo Kaap Museum tells of the area’s history and Muslim heritage. End of the day with the option to visit Table Mountain (aerial cableway not included, available as an optional extra, weather permitting), or some shopping at the V&A Waterfront.

Overnight in Cape Town.
