First full day in Cape Town. Cape Town program is weather dependant so the itinerary is likely to change to make best use of the weather at our desposal at the time. Winter can be stormy but clears for cool but beautiful periods in between!

The plan is to head south to explore the Table Mountain National Park  - African Penguins and some freedom on a bicycle in one of the most scenic parts of Africa! A picnic lunch in the park overlooking the ocean is sure to be a highlight.

Full day in Cape Town. Again weather dependent.

Visit the magnificent Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens for some walking, fynbos, birding and local culture. Not to be missed. The afternoon may be either up Table Mountain by cablecar or to the impressive ZEITZ MOCAA art museum in the waterfront.

Full day in Cape Town. A chance to explore the winelands as we tour to the delightful town of Franschoek for wine and much more! There is a chance that some of the famed Cape flowers may be in bloom and we'll make an effort to find some if the conditions are right.

Today (depending on international flights times) you will have one last morning in Cape Town before being transferred to the airport for your flight to Johannesburg.  In Johannesburg you will connect with your international flight home.

(should your flight be late, the costs of activities will be extra, but you may well want to explore the city on your own anyway - this can be discussed as the final group finalises travel arrangements)
