After a short transfer you can settle in at the hotel and relax after the long flights. Take a stroll around the V & A Waterfront, take a sunset cruise or simply order a drink and take in the iconic views of Table Mountain.
Spend the day touring Cape Town and iconic Table Mountain. Your tour is with a private guide and at your own pace picking out the attractions which interest you.
Typically highlights include, the Houses of Parliament, the Castle (built between 1666 and 1679, this is South Africa’s oldest building), the lively Green Market Square with its daily market, the Company Gardens and of course Table Mountain which will give you spectacular views over the city and Peninsula (depending on the weather). On the descent, you can stop at the Bo Kaap, traditionally home to the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses.
