Cape Town is one of the most beautifully situated cities in the world.

Day 02 - Cape Town & Surrounds
This is a great orientation tour of Cape Town. You are collected by your guide between 7.45 am and 8.00 am (for the morning tour) and between 13:30 and 14:00 for the afternoon. You begin with a journey by cable car to the top of Table Mountain for a panoramic view of the whole of the Cape Peninsula. Our guide will point out the highlights of this world-famous view. The cable car tickets are for your account as the ascent is weather-dependent. Afterwards, you travel through ‘Bo Kaap‘ also known as the Malay quarter, a historic picturesque area of the city with original Malay buildings and narrow streets. The architecture here is typical of Cape Town 200 years ago. Then you head into the historic centre of Cape Town with its many 18th century buildings. You drive past the President’s official residence and the Parliament buildings before continuing to Signal Hill. The tour then continues with a diamond workshop tour to learn the history of diamonds in South Africa and see the craftsmen at work before returning to your hotel. Meals: Breakfast
Day 03 - Cape Town & Surrounds
You travel along the coastal road through the chic suburbs of Clifton, Camps Bay and onto the picturesque fishing community of Hout Bay. Next, you enjoy a scenic drive along Chapmans Peak as it hugs the cliffside and continues south to reach Cape Point in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, said to be the romantic meeting point of two mighty oceans, the Atlantic and the Indian. Sir Francis Drake, the famous explorer, once called it “the fairest Cape that we saw in the whole circumference of the Globe.” Returning along the Indian Ocean you stop to visit the unique penguin colonies at Boulders beach, often a highlight of your time in Cape Town, and meander through the historic naval base of Simonstown and onto Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, which must surely be some of the finest gardens in Africa, nestling on the lower slopes of Table Mountain. We walk through the gardens where 4,000 of the 22,000 Southern African flowering plants are cultivated in a setting of mountain streams, pools and rolling lawns. In the late afternoon, you are dropped off at your hotel. Meals: Breakfast
