Day-by-Day Itinerary

1 Day 1: Arrive Cape Town
Welcome to South Africa! Upon arrival in Cape Town, you will be met and transferred to your choice of hotel. Cape Town is South Africa's most beautiful harbor city. The remainder of the day is at leisure to refresh from your transatlantic journey.
2 Day 2: Cape Town
Cape Town comes alive this morning on an introductory tour of the city. There is no better place to begin than with Table Mountain. Weather permitting, take the cable car to the summit to take in the glorious views of the city below. Then, your drive takes you through Camps Bay with its white sandy beaches and on to City Hall where Nelson Mandela made his first public speech after being released from Robben Island. Visit the Company Gardens and then hear about Greenmarket Square, location of the well that once was the main water supply for the city. Learn about the Malay Quarter and the colorful Bo-Kaap homes before ending the morning at a master diamond cutter. Return to your hotel for a leisurely afternoon.

3 Day 3: Cape Town
Head out to the glorious Cape Point in today's full day of touring. Your morning starts early, as you cruise along the exquisite stretch of coastline known as Millionaire's Paradise, past Llandudno to the working harbor of Hout Bay. We will stop here so you can embark on an optional up-close-and-personal Seal Island cruise if you like. Then, we wind along legendary Chapman's Peak Drive, soaking in the spectacular ocean views before arriving at the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park. We meander back to the city via Simon's Town and the endearing penguin colony at Boulders Beach. What a glorious day!

An exciting day begins with a visit to the "smoke that thunders", amazing Victoria Falls. Stop at various lookout points to try and take that perfect photo - but watch out for the spray from the Falls. You will quickly see what this is one of the seven Natural Wonders of the World. Your walking tour takes you through the misty rain forest which flanks the Falls. Stop and listen to the power of millions of gallons of water crash into the gorges below. Continue on to a nearby village to learn about customs that have been carried on generation to generation. You will have an opportunity to visit an actual homestead in the village and talk to those who live and work there. As you leave, you can browse the village curio shop filled with a wide variety of homemade crafts.
