Day 2: Cape Town City Tour
After breakfast, you are met in the hotel Reception by your English Speaking Tour Guide for a Half Day Cape Town City Tour. First you head to the base of the Majestic Table Mountain. Without a doubt it is Table Mountain that makes Cape Town the unique city it is. Rising up over 1000m above sea level, it is the icon that makes Cape Town instantly recognizable. It is a symbol, a playground, a spiritual retreat and a big draw card for tourists. So intertwined with the identity of Cape Town is Table Mountain that a visit to the city isn’t complete without having walked or taken the cable car to the top.
Afterwards you head into the Bo Kaap. The colourful suburb of Bo Kaap was exclusively for coloured Muslims during the Colonial and Apartheid times. The quaint cobbled streets, the museum, the authentic purveyors of Cape cuisine and Cape Town’s oldest spice emporium are all worth a visit.
The rest of the afternoon is spent at leisure.
Accommodation: Cape Grace Hotel
Day 3: Full Day Cape Peninsula Tour
This morning you head out along the picturesque Cape Peninsula for a full day of touring and sight seeing. You will visit the Cape of Good Hope, stopping at Cape Point, Boulders Beach and the naval base of Simonstown. Cape Point is a spectacular sight, covered in endemic fynbos and home to breathtaking bays, beaches and rolling green hills and valleys, just 60km outside of Cape Town. Cape Point falls within the Cape Floral Region, a World Heritage Site. The Cape Floral Region is one of the richest areas for plants in the world – it is home to nearly 20% of Africa’s flora.
Boulders Beach in Simon’s Town is ideal for kids as immense boulders shelter the cove from currents and large waves – but please always take care. It is a rare pleasure to swim with the penguins but don’t touch or feed them. They might look cute and cuddly but their beaks are as sharp as razors and if they feel threatened they have no qualms about nipping the odd finger or nose. Lunch is on your own account.
