Itinerary
|
Day 1
Cape Town Cape Town is the second most populous city in South Africa, famous for its harbour as well as its natural setting in the Cape floral kingdom, including such well-known landmarks as Table Mountain and Cape Point. Popular day activities include; Robben Island (Nelson Mandela's prison), Cape Point, Stellenbosch winery tour, diamond buying shops, and great white shark diving. Upon arrival into South Africa you will be met at the door of the plane and escorted through Customs and Immigration avoiding any queues. You will also receive all of your necessary documents for your trip which contains a detailed personalized itinerary, maps, restaurant suggestions, top tips for exploring each city or region and a 24 hour concierge service (for restaurant reservations, spa treatments, child minders, day tours etc.) Enjoy a private transfer between the airport and your hotel. La Splendida is ideally situated on the bustling Mouille Point promenade – Cape Town’s own “platinum mile”, minutes away from the sights and sounds of fantastic beaches and bars as well as the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The iconic hotel currently offers sea-facing and mountain-facing rooms and suites. The Café Splendida restaurant is a popular spot and the area alone offers majestic views of the one of South Africa's top cities. Overnight at La Splendida. |

Day 3
Cape Town This tour combines two of the highlights of the Cape: – The Cape of Good Hope and Stellenbosch, in the Winelands. Start by taking in the beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay, before crossing over to Hout Bay, where you may choose to join an optional boat cruise to Seal Island. Proceed to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve via Chapman’s Peak, one of the world’s most breathtaking coastal drives, where you will board a funicular to the top of the Peninsula to witness the symbolic meeting of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and enjoy spectacular views over False Bay.
You stop for lunch in this area, (not included – own account) before continuing to Simonstown, the naval base, and then visit the African Penguin breeding colony at Boulders Beach.
Onward to Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, with canal lined avenues, and magnificent examples of Cape Dutch architecture. Here you enjoy a wine tasting session and a cellar tour, before returning to your hotel late this afternoon. La Splendida is ideally situated on the bustling Mouille Point promenade – Cape Town’s own “platinum mile”, minutes away from the sights and sounds of fantastic beaches and bars as well as the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The iconic hotel currently offers sea-facing and mountain-facing rooms and suites.

It is home to an impressive number of species: 336 trees, 49 fish, 34 amphibians, 114 reptiles, 507 birds and 147 mammals. Man's interaction with the Lowveld environment over many centuries - from bushman rock paintings to majestic archaeological sites like Masorini and Thulamela - is very evident in the Kruger National Park. Enjoy a private transfer between the airport and your hotel. Travel today between Cape Town and Hoedspruit via Johanneburg.

A private vehicle can be booked at an additional cost dependent on availability. An earthy, traditional Tsonga styled lodge, Hoyo Hoyo offers luxury in six beautifully furnished huts. The combination of the bush, traditional cuisine, the warmth of the accommodation together with the opportunity to witness the lifestyle and culture of the Shangaan people, ensure an unforgettable safari experience.
