The city by the sea

OCEAN HORIZONS, MOUNTAIN VIEWS AND THE ENERGY OF THE CAPE.

Arrive in Cape Town and settle into three nights in one of the world’s most scenic coastal cities. Framed by Table Mountain and the Atlantic coastline, the city brings together dramatic natural landscapes, layered history, vibrant neighbourhoods, galleries, markets and an acclaimed food scene.

Depending on weather and your interests, classic first-visit experiences include a visit to Robben Island, where a guided heritage tour explores the former maximum-security prison and the island’s wider history, and a trip up Table Mountain for sweeping views across the city, coastline and Atlantic Ocean. Robben Island ferries depart from the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront; the standard excursion takes approximately 3.5–4 hours including the return ferry crossings and island tour. Table Mountain can be reached by the rotating aerial cableway or, for active travellers, by a suitably guided hike. The cableway operates only when weather conditions allow, so the visit should remain flexible. You can also explore the V&A Waterfront, historic city centre and colourful Bo-Kaap. With three nights, these experiences are best arranged around ferry availability and the mountain weather.

9 June · Day 1 · Night 1

Arrive in Cape Town

Airport pickup and hotel transfer: On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met by your private driver or transfer representative and assisted with your luggage before being transferred directly to your Cape Town hotel. Settle in and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure, depending on your arrival time.

10 June · Day 2 · Night 2

Discover Cape Town

Enjoy a full day to discover Cape Town, from the V&A Waterfront and colourful neighbourhoods to the city’s beautiful beaches and restaurants.

11 June · Day 3 · Night 3

Robben Island & Table Mountain

Begin at the Nelson Mandela Gateway at the V&A Waterfront for a ferry excursion to Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site closely associated with South Africa’s struggle for freedom. The standard guided visit takes approximately 3.5–4 hours including the return ferry crossings. On the island, learn about its layered history and visit the former maximum-security prison where Nelson Mandela and many other political prisoners were held; the tour route includes key heritage sites and the prison complex. Ferries are weather-dependent, so advance booking is recommended and guests should arrive at least 30 minutes before departure with their booking confirmation and identification.

After returning to the city, continue to Table Mountain for panoramic views over Cape Town, Table Bay and the Atlantic coastline. Take the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway to the summit, where walking paths and viewpoints offer time to enjoy the landscape. The cableway is weather-dependent and may close in strong winds or poor conditions; if the mountain is not operating, the visit can be rescheduled where the itinerary allows. A guided hike may be considered as an alternative for suitably prepared guests and in appropriate conditions.

Planning note: Combining both highlights makes for a full day. The Robben Island ferry time should be secured first, with Table Mountain planned around the return time, daylight and current weather. If ferry or mountain conditions disrupt the schedule, the experiences may need to be swapped with another available time during your Cape Town stay.

Into the African wilderness

FIVE NIGHTS IN THE HEART OF BIG FIVE COUNTRY.

Conclude your journey in Greater Kruger, an immense wilderness of savannah, riverine forest and rocky outcrops that supports an extraordinary diversity of wildlife. Your five-night stay allows time to settle into the rhythm of a private-reserve safari, with early-morning and late-afternoon game drives in open 4x4 vehicles, led by knowledgeable guides and, at many lodges, tracker teams. These cooler hours are especially rewarding for looking for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo—as well as giraffe, zebra, antelope, hyena and prolific birdlife. Sightings are always shaped by nature and can never be guaranteed.

A typical lodge day begins before sunrise with coffee before heading into the bush, followed by breakfast and a relaxed midday pause. Afternoon tea often precedes a second drive, which may include a sundowner stop as the light fades. Evenings bring dinner beneath the stars or in the lodge’s dining area. Depending on the property and conditions, optional guided bush walks, birding or night-drive experiences may also be available. Between activities, enjoy the lodge’s setting, pool and peaceful views across the reserve.
