Day 1

Today is free for independent sightseeing in Cape Town.

To orientate yourself, we suggest you purchase a pass onboard the convenient Red Route Hop-Off Bus, which stops at all Cape Town’s key sights and attractions, including the Table Mountain cable car (discounted tickets are sold on the bus). Here you can ascend and enjoy one of the world's most famous views.

Continue to trendy Camps Bay beach and the many attractions of the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (pay all entrance fees locally).

Note: Don't let the colour of the bus confuse you. All buses are red, but they run two different routes - the Red City Route and the Blue Kirstenbosch Route.

Day 2

You will be met at Cape Town Airport and transferred to your hotel in this beautiful city, within sight of Table Mountain.

Check in and relax in your magnificent surroundings.

Day 3

This morning your hire car will be dropped off at your hotel.

We recommend you spend the rest of the day exploring the beautiful Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve peninsula (pay all entrance fees locally). Start with an optional short boat trip from Hout Bay to view Cape Fur seals at Seal Island and continue via Chapman’s Peak Drive to spectacular Cape Point where you may see baboons, ostrich and perhaps even dolphins or whales in season (July/November).

On the return journey we recommend driving through naval Simons Town and visit the resident penguin colony at Boulders Beach. Time permitting, you can also visit the world famous Kirstenbosch Gardens before returning to Cape Town.

You can visit the Mandela Legacy Exhibition at the City Hall, explore the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront and take the ferry to Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela was imprisoned (advance booking essential in season).

You can also visit world famous Kirstenbosch Gardens or simply relax on golden Camps Bay Beach.

Day 6

Today leave Cape Town and drive 1-hour to the beautiful Stellenbosch Winelands.

Along the way you can stop at one or more wine estates along the famous Stellenbosch wine route.

On arrival check in to your hotel in this famous wine producing area, relax under the giant oak trees and savour the fine food and wines of this region.

Days 7 To 8

At leisure to relax in beautiful Stellenbosch, which is surrounded by its mountains and vineyards.

Explore this old university town with its many street markets, craft shops and museums, including the Modern & Contemporary Art Gallery, or visit Stellenbosch Botanical Gardens.

You can also self-drive the wine routes of Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl with many opportunities for wine tasting at famous wine estates. Alternatively use the Vine Hopper hop-off bus to explore these winelands (advance booking online recommended) or book an optional small group tour.

In the evening there are several fine dining restaurants in the area (advance booking strongly recommended).

Note: Vine Hopper bus does not operate on Sundays.

Day 9

Today drive 2.5-hours from Stellenbosch to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, situated at the foot of the Warmwaterberg Mountains in the heart of the Little Karoo.

After checking into your lodge, enjoy an afternoon game drive on these vast dry plains. Then relax and enjoy dinner under a superb night sky free of any light pollution.

Note: The last 1-hour to your lodge is on a gravel road.

Day 10

Rise at dawn to enjoy a open top game drive with your ranger today in the vast Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, which is the size of Singapore.

Home of the rare white lion, Sanbona covers over 54,000 hectares of undulating mountains and plains in the arid yet spectacularly beautiful Little Karoo. Here you will find a wide variety of plains game such as cheetah, antelope, giraffe, kudu, impala and zebra - as well as elephants, buffalo and the rare riverine rabbit amongst many other species. On a relaxing boat ride on the lake, you will also see hippos and crocodiles.

The rest of the morning is free to relax by the lodge swimming pool and enjoy the indigenous flora and rock formations, before setting out again in the late afternoon for another game drive. There is also the opportunity to walk to see Bushman cave painting and in the evenings enjoy superb star gazing in the clear dark skies of the Karoo.
