Your Example Itinerary
Day 1
Fly from the UK to Cape Town
Days 2-4
Cape Town
Cape Town’s location is unrivalled – a modern, eclectic city at the foot of the commanding Table Mountain, beside a glittering expanse of ocean. Some days the mountain is covered by the famous tablecloth, a cluster of clouds that obscure the summit, but the cloud always clears to reveal heady views of the vibrant city below. Hike up Table Mountain then abseil your way back down, or opt for the more sedate cable car. Back at sea level the attractive Victoria and Alfred waterfront is filled with top-class restaurants, swanky bars and excellent craft shops. For a short half-day trip head for Boulders Beach, home to a curious colony of African penguins, who don’t seem to mind visitors at all. Or perhaps head to Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden, set at the foot of Table Mountain and filled with fabulous flowers of the fynbos, unique to this region and the smallest of the world’s floral kingdoms. With all these activities and more, Cape Town has something for everyone.
Stay: 4* Kloof Street Hotel
Days 5-6
Franschhoek
It's time to start your drive along the South Africa Garden Route – head on to the handsome town of Franschhoek in the winelands region.Franschhoek is a charming village renowned for its rich French heritage, award-winning wineries, and gourmet cuisine. Surrounded by dramatic mountains and lush vineyards, it offers a blend of luxury and tranquility, making it a must-visit destination for wine lovers, food enthusiasts, and those seeking a refined countryside escape.
Stay: 4* Franschhoek Boutique Hotel
Day 7
Oudtshoorn
Head inland to Oudtshoorn, famous for its numerous ostrich farms. You can visit a farm, meet the birds and see their huge eggs, and perhaps try an ostrich burger (highly recommended). As well as the ostriches, Oudsthoorn is also home to the Cango Caves, a dramatic network of subterranean chambers filled with intricate rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites. Choose to walk around on the boardwalks or for the more adventurous, don your oldest clothes and crawl through narrow gaps in the rock.
Stay: 3* Protea Hotel Oudtshoorn Riempie Estate
Days 8-9
