South Africa and Botswana Safari

Upon arriving in sun-drenched Cape Town, a representative meets and transfers you to your luxurious waterfront hotel, located on a private quay. The city is set on a soaring, rocky peninsula punctuated by lush valleys; generations of weary seafarers have come to this idyllic "Tavern of the Seas" for rest and replenishment.
Overnight at Cape Grace

Travel by aerial cable car to Table Mountain's plateau (weather permitting), where unsurpassed panoramic views of the sea and city await. Exclusively visit a local resident of the historic Bo-Kaap area to partake in traditional Cape Malay tea. Explore the Company Gardens, viewing notable buildings, including the Houses of Parliament, Tuinhuys, National Art Gallery and Library, and make your way to the Castle of Good Hope, a museum depicting the military history of the Cape. Later, attend an elegant, welcome dinner at a private family home.
Overnight at Cape Grace

The Cape of Good Hope is blessed with a rugged beauty and indigenous wildlife — from rarely seen bontebok to shrub-like Cape fynbos — all quite unlike that of the bush. Its nature reserve, populated by chacma baboon, converges in the south at Cape Point — a stunning pinnacle of rock. Climb the steps, or ride a funicular railway to the top. You also may view local seal and endangered African penguin. After lunch, continue to Franschhoek and your hotel.

Proceed to Somerset West, where you experience a wine, olive and olive oil tasting at Morgenster Estate before returning to your hotel.
