The area includes Cape Town's central business district (CBD), harbour, Companys Garden, and the residential suburbs of De Waterkant, Devils Peak Estate, District Six, Zonnebloem, Gardens, Higgovale, Oranjezicht, Schotsche Kloof, Tamboerskloof, University Estate, Vredehoek, Walmer Estate, and Woodstock.

Day 3: Cape Town & Cape Peninsula Excursion

 

After an early breakfast, you will set off on a full-day excursion to Cape Peninsula. The tour departs from your hotel at approximately 7:30 am. The tour lasts 8 hours.

 

Cape Town is built on a mountainous peninsula. This tour is the ideal way to see the highlights of the city. Travel along the Atlantic coastline with its white beaches and mountains to Hout Bay. You can take a half-hour boat trip to Duiker Island to see a colony of Cape fur seals.

 

The return journey to Cape Town takes you along the False Bay coastline. You will pass through the naval village of Simon's Town, Fish Hoek, Kalk Bay and Muizenberg. Visit the Rhodes Memorial viewpoint and learn about the significance of this historic site before returning to the hotel.

Day 5: Cape Town

 

After breakfast, let your desires guide you as you continue your discovery of this bustling city where people love to bask on its golden beaches against the backdrop of the Table Mountains.

 

Situated on one of the most beautiful bays in the world, Cape Town is also the cradle of South African history. Several emblematic sites bear witness to this sulphurous past, which is still very recent. Neighbourhoods with a unique mix of cultures, such as Bo Kaap, can be explored on foot before admiring the last rays of the day on the sandy beaches.
