Welcome to South Africa! After clearing customs and immigration formalities, you will be met and transferred to your choice of hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure.

Depart this morning your choice of a full day tour to the Cape Peninsula or Cape Winelands. Choose the Cape Peninsula and see for yourself how this spectacular southern tip of Africa became known as the "Fairest Cape". Drive along the Atlantic seaboard past Camps Bay, Clifton and Llandudno, referred to as "Millionaires Paradise". Visit Hout Bay and its harbour where there is time to take an optional Seal Island Cruise. Continue along Chapmans Peak to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and its scenic viewing point. Stop at Boulders Beach to see the African penguins, and then travel through the naval port of Simon's Town. Simon's Town is situated on False Bay and is rich in history, character and atmosphere. Or, spend the day meandering around the Cape Winelands, sampling wines that are among the finest in the world. Take in the tranquillity and beauty of Paarl, Franschhoek and Stellenbosch in the Cape Winelands. Experience the rich historical and cultural heritage while sampling wines of merit at local well known wine estates

The day is at leisure today to explore on your own. You might want to take the ferry to Robben Island or, if the weather permits, take the cable car to the viewing point at Table Mountain. We can also make suggestions for optional touring.

This morning, you will be transferred to Cape Town International Airport to take the scheduled flight to Hoedspruit or Mpumalanga (depending on your choice of private game reserve.) Settle into your lodge or camp and then select an afternoon game activity.

Spend two full days in the South African bush, in search of the Big Five and more. No matter which game reserve lodge or camp you select, you are assured of amazing game viewing. Two game activities are included each day. Mornings in the bush usually start with a hot cup of tea or coffee and a biscuit before heading out on an early morning game drive. The sun is just coming up and you may be lucky enough to spot the big cats after a night of hunting. You are in Big Five country so the chances of seeing them all during your stay are quite good. Breakfast awaits when you return to the lodge and then the time is yours to relax and enjoy the amenities of the lodge or camp. Game walks are usually offered every day and we recommend taking at least one walk as you get an entirely different perspective of the Bush by foot. Later in the afternoon, you'll head out for your second game drive. Just as the sun begins to set, you'll stop and enjoy a sundowner as you watch the gorgeous African sunset. Then, the tracker turns on the spotlight and your game drive turns into a search for the predators of the night on the prowl. It's always exciting! Your evening ends back at the lodge for dinner and stories over the campfire.

Your adventure comes to an end today as you are transferred to the airport to begin your journey home. Or, why not extend your tour to Victoria Falls - see the South Africa Discovery Tour for a full itinerary.
