Day 2

CAPE TOWN CITY TOUR AND BOAT TOUR

After breakfast, Pick up from your hotel for a half day Cape Town city tour. Be captivated by the multiethnic character and historical wealth of the Mother City. Cape Town is a rare cultural gem, resulting from the amalgamation of different nationalities and indigenous tribes. Alongside high-rise office blocks, a harmonious blend of architectural styles has been meticulously preserved, including Edwardian, Victorian and Cape Dutch. Narrow, cobblestone streets and the Islamic character of the Bo-Kaap enhance the cosmopolitan ambiance. The itinerary takes you to the City Hall, the Castle of Good Hope – this pentagon-shaped fort is the oldest surviving building in South Africa; the Company's Garden – a large public park, originally Jan van Riebeeck's vegetable garden, which he grew to feed the colony as early as 1652; and Signal Hill with spectacular panoramas over the city. You can visit Table Mountain via the Cable Car (at own cost). In the afternoon climb aboard a hydrofoil and look for marine life in the ecosystem of Table Bay on a 2-hour eco tour from Cape Town.

The Cape Wine Route is defined by the triangle that forms the towns of Stellenbosch, Paarl and Franschhoek. Stellenbosch is a charming old town with oak-shaded avenues and historical buildings. Franschhoek owes its name to the French Huguenots, who came to settle there in 1685 and planted the first quality vineyards, while Paarl has been a centre for the Afrikaner culture since the 19th century. Along the Route, wine estates welcome you to taste wines and cheeses and invite you to learn how the wines are made before you are returned to your hotel at the end of the tour.

En route, visit Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa and recently proclaimed Agulhas National Park. Named "Cape Needle" by 16th-century Portuguese sailors due to their compasses’ accuracy here, it’s said to be the true meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, where the cold Benguela current meets the warm Agulhas current amid stunning, wild fynbos scenery. Visit the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse, the southernmost tip of Africa and meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans. Known for its shipwrecks, this "Cape of Storms" houses South Africa’s second oldest lighthouse, modelled on the Egyptian Faros, with striking red and white limestone walls.

In Plettenberg Bay, known as the "fashionable" seaside resort, visitors can enjoy expansive, untouched beaches, rocky peninsulas, and rich lagoons. Originally named Bahia Formosa, this town features incredible views over the Indian Ocean, inviting tourists to relax or explore the natural landscape. Visit Birds of Eden, the world’s largest free-flight bird sanctuary, where you can stroll through a two-hectare dome filled with 280 bird species, including the striking Knysna loerie. The tour is non-guided and visitors are free to stroll along the wooden walkways. The peaceful aviary includes viewing platforms and educational brochures to guide you. Besides the 3 800-odd birds here, the sanctuary is also home to some free-roaming miniature monkeys such as the golden-handed tamarin. Next, visit Monkeyland in Plettenberg Bay. Monkeyland is an award-winning animal preserve and the world's first free-roaming multi-primate sanctuary. The centre is currently the top eco-tourism attraction along the Garden Route and endeavours to rehabilitate and release previously caged primates.

In the museum you will embark on an exciting journey through time, from prehistoric dinosaurs to a 15 metre skeleton of the last southern right whale to be harpooned in Algoa Bay, while the Maritime History Hall recreates the romance and drama of a bygone era with fully rigged models of sailing ships and their accompanying artefacts. Outside the museum the reptile park houses an interesting collection of lizards, tortoises, snakes and crocodiles and there is a daily seal and penguin presentation.

Amid the lush wilderness of the Eastern Cape, high atop a fertile river valley, the 10 000-hectare private reserve is supported by two rivers - the Kariega and the Bushmans - that act as important species corridors and also support a thriving bird population. Its awe-inspiring landscape is a combination of riverine forest, rich grassland plains and typical African bushveld that offers dramatic and spectacular vistas. Besides being a delight for bird watchers, Kariega is also home to the Big Five, hyena, hippo, wildebeest, giraffe and kudu, to name just a few. One of the unique features of the park is the opportunity for walking freely and safely amongst wild game, in an area that excludes the more unpredictable and dangerous Big Five. Apart from daily game drives, the reserve also offers guided walks, fishing and river cruises where the peace and tranquillity of the river valley can be enjoyed at leisure. Lunch will be served, followed by a 4x4 afternoon game drive in the Kariega Game Reserve. Delight in the thrill of the great outdoors as you get up close to the wonders of the African wilderness. Your afternoon game drive will be conducted by a professional ranger who knows where to find the animals and can provide insight into their habitats and characteristics.
