Day 1 – 3: Deluxe 5*Hotel

You have the choice of staying for three nights in a suite in a trendy 5* hotel with views over the V&A Waterfront and Table Mountain where fashionistas and A-Listers hang out. Or, if your preference is more about privacy that is high on quality, luxury and service, this exclusive boutique hotel overlooking the Atlantic Ocean will be ideal.
On arrival, spend your afternoon at leisure, catching up on jet lag, or we can book a decompress Spa treatment for you….
The following day includes a 3-hour private tour city tour and weather permitting a helicopter flip along the coastline, where one has a bird’s eye view of Robben Island, the Sentinel and Table Bay. Depending on the time of year, you might be lucky and spot Southern Right and Humpback whales which migrating from the South Pole (from June to Nov).
In the evening, try out a ‘taste experience’ at a leading restaurant, voted 45th by Elite Traveller and placed 22nd in 2016 in the World’s Best Restaurant Award (B+D).
Day three is your choice…. So much to see, so much to experience….
The suggestions are for a day trip out to the winelands to enjoy wine tasting followed by a country inspired luncheon at a premier Estate. Or you can opt for a scenic drive along the coastline to Cape Point passing through the fishing villages of Hout Bay, Kalk Bay and Simonstown where you can meet the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach, before heading back into the city. If your preference is rather towards some retail therapy, we can direct you to the V&A Waterfront with a personal guide (B+L)
Day 4 – 6: Exclusive Deluxe Safari Lodge
An early morning transfer will take you to the airport to catch a mid-morning flight for your next adventure ~ going on Safari…

Meals are a treat with scrumptious breakfasts, light lunches, afternoon high tea and superb evening dining experiences; ranging from sitting on the deck listening to the night calls, or in a boma around the fire, or a private dinner for two (Incl.)
