Wednesday:
Arrive via Johannesburg or direct into Cape Town airport. Our tour guide will whisk you straight to your hotel, 25 minutes away, to relax and recover from the long haul flight. Welcome dinner with a personalised gift will be served in your room, or downstairs in the restaurant area.
Thursday:
After breakfast, we will depart on a full-day tour of Cape of Good Hope, and en route we will also stop at the famous African Penguin Colony, and walk to the stunning lighthouse set on one of the highest sea cliffs in South Africa, overlooking the entrance to False Bay. En route back we will stop at various viewpoints including the famous Chapmans Peak drive, reminiscent of Amalfi Coastline in Italy.
Friday:
Cape Town‘s history dates back to when Lithuanian Jews fled northern Europe to come to South Africa, and in the heart of Cape Town‘s historic city centre there is one of the oldest Synagogues in the Southern Hemisphere, as well as a lovely walk through formal gardens with Houses of Parliament, SA National Gallery, and then just up the hill, the cable way to Table Mountain. Our morning is packed with history, beautiful views and a walking tour of the area. The afternoon we will break out of the city centre and over the hill to an incredible botanical reserve located on the side slopes of Table Mountain, and visit the tree canopy bridge set high above the forest floor, overlooking a large area teeming with birdlife, and hundreds of unique plant species. Return to the hotel with ample time to prepare for Shul, and walk down the hill for Friday night Shabbos services.
Return to the hotel for a private Shabbos dinner.
Saturday:
Day at leisure for Shabbat. Shabbat meals included.
Sunday:
Perhaps take one last walk down the Atlantic Ocean Promenade, if you are an early bird, and then breakfast, before transferring to Cape Town airport. Fly 2 hours 30 minutes directly to Kruger National Park‘s central region. Your ranger will meet you and transfer you 45 minutes through the african bush to a stunning little lodge with private plunge pools and a great location in the heart of the African savanna. A light meal will be served on arrival and then settle in, before going on a quick late afternoon sunset game drive.
Monday :
The lodge is located at the junction of various highlights. Morning and afternoon safari drives, interspersed with brunch, late lunch. Weather permitting enjoy a lovely bush barbeque at a lovely setting under the stars.
Tuesday :
Today is a great opporuntity to discuss with your ranger 2 options. Either you can do a Full day Panorama route journey, where we will see the largest Green canyon on earth, the Blyde River Canyon, Graskop Gorge and the Bourkes Luck Potholes.
Or you can replace it with an open 4 x 4 tour into a Big 5 reserve near the Orpen Gate which is teeming with Big 5, and perhaps combine this with the wildlife rehabilitation centre visit. Both options include a premade Kosher parev picnic lunch en route , and a wonderful final farewell Fleischik dinner.
Wednesday:
After a final early morning game drive, and a leisurely breakfast, we will transfer at 12noon to the nearest airport and fly 1 hour back to Johannesburg and connect onto your international flight later the evening.
