We include an Excursion to the Cape Peninsula one of the most spectacular routes with one  of the Floral Kingdoms of the World and the Cape Fauna along the peninsula  coastline, with an opportunity to take photographs. You will also have the  chance to see where the two main currents that give temperature to two of the  oceans of our planet that project come together. The first stop will be at “Hout Bay” where you will go on a boat to do a miniature cruise to an island  inhabited by a colony of seals, passing Chapman’s Peak (if weather  conditions allow) and will then go on to visit the Good Hope Nature Reserve,  where you will see the Cape of Good Hope and then have the chance to take the  cable car (the cost of the cable car is NOT included) to go up to the ancient  lighthouse and enjoy one of the views of the famous False Bay. You will also  visit Simon’s Town, which is the general headquarters of the South African  Navy, and where there is the famous colony of African penguins, an endangered  species. On the way to the hotel, time allowing, you will be able to enjoy a  stroll in the beautiful Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Lunch included. Return to the hotel and accommodation.

Tag 6

Free day to get to know the city under your own steam. Weather  permitting, we advise you to get on the chairlift to Table Mountain where you  will have the chance to see the marvellous views of the city and of the bay.  Don’t miss interesting places like the picturesque Bo Kaap district, St  George’s Cathedral, the Company’s Garden, the Grand Parade, the former City  Hall and the Castle of Good Hope.

Tag 7

We leave Cape Town in the morning to start the tour of the GARDEN ROUTE, a tourist jewel of the country. You will travel via Worcester and Montagu on the R 62 towards OUDTSHOORN, a village which is historically related to ostrich breeding, an animal that was about to become extinct due to its massive hunting for the use of its feathers as decoration in the courts of Europe. In the 19th century, ostrich farms began to appear, around which a wealthy society began to form, whose reflection can be seen in the opulent stone palaces. On the way you will visit the CANGO CAVES, one of Africa’s natural marvels, famous for its fascinating calcite caves forming an amazing underground world of stalactites and stalagmites, as well as a ‘frozen waterfall’. You will enjoy a light lunch included followed by an entertaining tour of an ostrich farm before being transferred to your hotel.
