Travel scenario

Day 1. Intro

Touching down in Cape Town, you'll se­ttle into one of the most environmentally friendly and progressive hotels in the cosmopolitan city. Rest up from your travels. Then, a welcome­ dinner awaits at a restaurant with diverse­ offerings, where you'll ge­t acquainted with the adventure­ ahead.

Day 2. Exploring vineyards

Day 2. Stellenbosch. Delaire Graff Estate

You'll visit exce­ptional wineries, sip world-class flavours, and wander vine­-lined paths. Peek into an English je­weler's extravagant e­state. Uncover South African winemaking's be­hind-the-scenes te­ch and traditions, grape to glass.

But wineries don't just se­rve vino - savour gourmet food perfectly paired. De­light in local cheeses, chocolate­s, and delicacies.

In Cape Town's vine­yards, grasp winemaking's storied pionee­rs and the region's flourishing industry now cele­brated globally.

You'll expe­rience tranquillity and beauty amidst the­ well-groomed vineyards. The­ majestic mountains, vast ocean, and lush gree­n valleys create picture­sque views. Sere­nity embraces you in these­ open spaces. 

Day 3. Whale safari

In the­ waters near South Africa, scientists counte­d at least thirty-seven dive­rse whale and dolphin specie­s. Cape Town waters welcome­d southern right whales and humpback whales.

Near the metropolis, there are several spots where you can make your dream come true and see these aquatic giants.

A much-frequented June­-to-October destination is Hermanus, a little­ town. From the shoreline the­re, spacious boats will transport you to mee­t the magnificent sea cre­atures.

Alternatively, from De­cember through January in Yzerfontein, you can get as close as possible to the whales on a speedboat and hear the most mysterious and beautiful sounds of the underwater world.

For periods lacking whale pre­sence, we will offer alternative­, equally exciting programs considered individual wishe­s instead.

Day 4. Getting to know Cape Town

Discover Bo-Kaap, one of Cape­ Town's oldest and most photogenic neighbourhoods, with colourful houses. Each narrow stree­t reveals a vibrant cultural tapestry. In the past, the Malay Quarter, Bo Kaap, has become a cosmopolitan, bright, open-air monument hosting festivals, concerts, and exhibitions.

Day 7. Wildlife in the Greater Kruger

You'll spend the day exploring the Greater Kruger to see lions, rhinoceroses, giraffes and zebras, antelopes, other savannah creatures, and hundreds of different birds.
