A short but beguiling private, three day introduction to South Africa's beloved Mother City - Cape Town.
A short but memorable private tour of Cape Town accompanied by an expert guide. There are various accommodation options ranging from personal to top-end . Highlights visited include Table Mountain, Cape Point and the Cape Winelands.
After meeting guests upon their arrival at Cape Town International Airport, the private tour makes its way to South Africa's most popular tourist attraction - Table Mountain . The mountain is ascended with a short, but scenically impressive cable-way trip. Once you reach the summit, your guide will highlight many features of the city of Cape Town and point out various landmarks. They will also enhance your knowledge of the fauna and flora found on Table Mountain by pointing out and providing information about the various fynbos species. After descending Table Mountain, some time is spent exploring the famous V&A Waterfront before guests are assisted with check-in at the hotel.
The focus of this day of your Cape Town tour is Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. The tour is a scenic delight with some of the most impressive coastal roads in South Africa carved into steep mountain sides high above the Atlantic Ocean. The lighthouse at Cape Point was originally built in 1859 at the highest point - 249m above sea level. The old lighthouse was, however, replaced after a great shipping disaster, with the new one built 87m above sea level. The visit to Cape Point is followed by a short visit to Boulders Beach where we observe the antics of a colony of penguins before returning to Cape Town during the late afternoon.
After breakfast, we travel to Spier where we enjoy a unique hour-long tour of the estate on a two-wheeled self-balancing electric vehicle. It offers a great way of traversing the vineyards and enjoying sweeping views of the beautiful surroundings. Some time is then devoted to sampling some of the fine wines produced on this wine estate that was established in 1692. A transfer to Cape Town International follows, where a short but memorable tour of Cape Town and its surrounding area comes to an end.
