Cape Town
Cape Town
The world’s fairest Cape
Situated amongst stupendous coastal scenery and overlooked by Table
Mountain, a flat-topped outcrop with sheer cliffs rising 1,000 metres
above the bay, Cape Town’s location is exceptionally beautiful.
In the surrounding country, extensive vineyards and fertile farmlands
are sheltered by soaring mountains.
Out and about: Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and Kloof Street are packed
with restaurants and bars.
Sporting attractions: Golf, horse riding, trekking, surfing, kayaking, scuba
diving, fishing and boat charters.
Places of interest: Whilst the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain
and its superb views is considered a must see for all tourists, Cape Town
and its environs have much else to delight visitors. Nearby is Cape Point,
on the Cape of Good Hope peninsula – the Atlantic coast, being particularly
spectacular. In Table Bay, 12 kilometres offshore, is Robben Island,
which from the 17th century until 1996 was a prison – its most famous
inmate being Nelson Mandela. The Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens,
merging into the mountainside fynbos on the eastern slopes of Table
Mountain, display a huge variety of indigenous plants. Those who enjoy
history will relish the Bo Kaap Museum, providing an insight into the
Muslim culture, a result of the slave trade carried out by the Dutch on the
largely Muslim Indonesian archipelago; the District Six Museum, another
attraction tells the story of 60,000 inhabitants who were forcibly moved
when the district was declared ‘white’. In contrast, Groot Constantia, the
oldest and grandest wine estate, built in 1692, recalls a gracious way of
life; and the Military Museum traces the turbulent history of the Cape.

breathtaking views from

history, that you can’t
help but feel as you
move through the region

all about the process of
wine making from grape

We visit the exquisite little
town of Franschhoek,
pass by the impressive Huguenot Monument and in a town with a
reputation for gourmet fare we will stop to let you enjoy lunch. Later we
wind our way to the heady heights of the Helshoogte Mountain Pass to
the charming university town of Stellenbosch on the other side. We’ve set
aside ample time to stroll through this little town, so you get a chance
to absorb its quaintness and indulge in some shopping.

at two different wine estates.
Walk to Freedom

communities - those of yesterday and today, seeing how both past
and present generations lived, or just existed, during the dark days of
apartheid and experience how people of these townships live today.
You will explore the riveting District Six Museum for a sharp reminder
of the past, then tour Langa, the oldest apartheid housing scheme in the
Cape and visit the impressive Tsoga Environmental Gardens. To enjoy
a hands-on experience of life in a township, you will be visiting an informal
spaza shop, popping into a shebeen (pub) and visiting a hostel.
Parliament Buildings
In the afternoon you
will visit Robben
Island, home to
Nelson Mandela, the
South African leader,

journey that follows the rocky coastline to reveal stunning views to
Chapman’s Bay, Kommetjie and the Cape of Good Hope Nature
Reserve, where amongst the cape’s unique flora can be seen baboons,
buck and an amazing variety of birdlife.
After lunch* we visit Simon’s Town, founded in 1743, a pretty town with
attractive Victorian and Cape Dutch houses and now a major base for
the South African navy, before travelling on to Boulders Beach, where
Jackass penguins splash in the clear, shallow waters, amongst the
gigantic rocks that give the bay its name.

Durban highlights tour
Full-day seat-in-coach excursion
Durban is a multi-cultural city shaped by a complex collaborative history
involving the early colonial settlers, the indigenous Zulu population and the
Indian community who arrived as indentured labourers in the 19th century.
To call it a ‘city of contrasts’ is often an understatement.
Our tour begins as we cruise along the brand-new Golden Mile, the
revitalised beachfront promenade which hugs the beckoning beaches
of Durban. We move through the city, visiting the majestic City Hall
and enjoying its humorous history! The Phansi Museum in Glenwood
is home to a spellbinding collection of southern African artefacts and
traditions – from beadwork and headrests, to Zulu clay pots and other
intriguing clues to the diverse South African cultural history. From history
to nature, we visit the peaceful Durban Botanic Gardens founded in
1849, a treasure trove of massive trees from Asia, Africa and America,
and a magnificent orchid house. Lastly, in harmony with Indian culture
and history, you’re
going local... taste a
unique Bunny Chow,
traditional ‘take-away’
food of the Indian
community, indeed
of all South Africans!
