Welcome to South Africa!

Day 1 Cape Town
This is our arrival/meet and greet day! We will meet at our guest
house at 3pm and have the opportunity to get to know each other
over bubbles and appetizers! This is always a fun day to discuss our
upcoming adventure!
Included: Welcome reception with drinks and snacks.

Day 2-Cape Town
Today we will drive through the famous Chapman’s Peak to the most
South Eastern point in Africa. Welcome to the Cape of Good Hope! We
will ascend steps to the top of the hill to experience the most stunning views (hopefully no rain!), afterwards we will make our way to Boulders Beach where we will are almost guaranteed to see penguins and possibly wild baboons too! The African penguins are only found on the coastlines of Southern Africa - (South Africa & Namibia). These
penguins are currently on the verge of extinction. As a result, the penguins are under the protection of the Cape Nature Conservation. Although set in the midst of a residential area, it is one of the few sites where this vulnerable bird (Spheniscus demersus) can be observed at close range, wandering freely in a protected natural environment. From just two breeding pairs in 1982, the penguin colony has grown to about 3,000 birds in recent years. This is partly due to the reduction in commercial
pelagic trawling in False Bay, which has increased the supply of pilchards and anchovy, which form part of the penguins' diet. Once you have had your fill of penguins (if that’s possible) we will take a short drive to the picturesqueSimon’s Town for a beautiful lunch on the harbour.

Included- Breakfast, Lunch and entrance fees to Table Mountain National Park and Boulders Beach

Day 3-CapeTown
CapeTown City highlights!
After breakfast we will drive a short distance to the cutest nearby
town named Hout Bay! The weekend market is filled with local crafts,
wine, beer, and amazing food options! Afterwards we will (weather
permitting, ascend the cable car up Table Mountain to experience the
most amazing views! Then we will visit the multicultural Bo-Kaap area,
formally known as the Malay Quarter. It was a racially segregated
area and is now a historical centre. The brightly coloured facades are
attributed to an expression of freedom. Afterwards you may enjoy
exploring the famous V & A Waterfront right in the heart of CapeTown.

elephants and become a part of it. Walk trunk-in-hand with the elephants. See the night shelters where the elephants sleep at night. You

secured the future of all the primates which reach the sanctuary.

who deemed the lion, leopard, rhino, elephant and buffalo the most
difficult animals on the African continent to hunt on foot. They are
known to be dangerous and it was considered a feat by trophy
hunters to bring them home. Today, these majestic animals are considered a “must-see” on an African safari trip. Kariega Private Game
