We tailor make our tours to suit you!

Your tour guide will collect you this afternoon from your hotel and you will head into the wine country, approximately a 50-minute drive from the city. We head into Stellenbosch to explore the second oldest and undoubtedly most scenically attractive and historically preserved town in Southern Africa. You then continue to the lovely Waterford Estate. Here you will enjoy a scenic “wine safari”. A safari type game viewing Landrover has been fitted out with bucket seats and your guide will take you around the 120-hectare property that is situated on the slopes of the beautiful Helderberg Mountain in the Stellenbosch region – the undisputed wine capital of South Africa.

Day 14: End of Itinerary

Sadly the time has come to return home, but hopefully not for long…the memories created over the past two weeks will no doubt leave your family longing for more, and the bonds formed over this special time together will be stronger than ever. Over the next 50+ years to come we have no doubt this will be one of those trips that your family will still be talking about!

After some sad goodbyes and plenty of hugs, you will take a light aircraft flight from Tswalu to Johannesburg where you will connect with your international flight home.
