CAPE TOWN<\/strong>: In which ever way, the area of Cape Town in South Africa is one of the most beautiful and interesting to visit in the world…. Here, other than a fascinating city, with many historical points, museums, markets, restaurants along the sea, one can enjoy views of majestic mountains, rocky coastlines, golden beaches, magnificent gardens, excellent wines, and superior hotels, Cape Town is known for its very friendly people.
\nThe mountains surrounding the city have the most spectacular view points onto the coast and ocean below. Visit Cape Point, Kirstenbosch Botanical gardens, or Monkey World or Bird World in Hout Bay, or even visit the Butterfly farm on the wine route.
\nAs the Legislative Capital of South Africa, with over 2 million inhabitants, Cape Town is definitely the most vibrant city in South Africa. There are so many places to visit, such as the Castle of Good Hope, originally built between 1666 and 1679, and being the oldest building in South Africa, the Houses of Parliment, the Market Square, or the Company gardens, set out as the original gardens in 1652, The South African Planetarium (found at the top of Company Gardens) and the South African Museum hosts an incredible quantity of fossils as well as a gallery dedicated to whales, with a skeleton of over 20 meters of one of these majestic sea creatures.<\/p>\nOvernight: The Victoria & Alfred Hotel on a Bed & Breakfast basis

Day 2 CAPE TOWN<\/h4>\n
Cape Peninsula Tour<\/p>\n
Your journey to Cape Point takes you along the scenic Atlantic seaboard coastal road. You pass the pristine beaches of Clifton and Camps Bay with their soft white sand and assure blue water. The formidable 12 Apostles Peaks rise above the road on one side, while shear cliffs and incredible rock formations drop into the icy Atlantic Ocean on the other side. There is no doubt the coast of the Cape peninsula offers magnificent scenery with its great biodiversity. You arrive at the quaint fishing village of Hout Bay with its imposing Sentinel. Visit Seal Island (own account) or shop for souvenirs at the craft market at the harbor. The tour continues over Chapman\u2019s Peak which offers amazing photo opportunities, and onto the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. This area is home to magnificent \u2018fynbos\u2019, many different species of buck and birds, the Cape Mountain Zebra, and mischievous baboons. These creatures entertain guests enjoying lunch at the restaurant which has splendid views of False Bay. Take the funicular (own account) to the lighthouse to see the meeting of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans at the Cape Point. You visit Boulders Beach to see the Jackass penguins (own account) before arriving at the naval base of Simonstown, and then you venture inland to your last stop of the day at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. With the sun setting over the tall peaks of Table Mountain the last rays sparkle on the trees and flowers, and offer a fitting end to a day filled with all the Cape has to offer. You return to the hotel in the late afternoon.<\/p>\n

Day 3 CAPE TOWN<\/h4>\n
Cape Winelands Tour<\/p>\n
This morning you head north to Paarl. Your first stop this morning is at Anura Wine Estate for a cellar tour and a cheese and wine tasting. Learn all about what makes these wines world class! You make our way to Franschhoek with a photo stop at the Groot Drakenstein Prison where Nelson Mandela was released in Feb 1990. The village of Franschhoek nestled amongst the mountains, can easily be mistaken as being in Switzerland. It is home to some magnificent wine estates, and you will have time to walk through the village and soak up the atmosphere of rural sophistication. After a short tour of the little town, a second wine tasting will take place in Franschhoek, followed by a lunch stop (own account), and maybe a chance to try some of the fresh trout that Franschhoek is known for. After lunch the tour continues over the Hells Hoogte Mountain Pass to Stellenbosch. It is easy to understand why Simon van der Stel decided to settle a village amongst the mountains. The backdrop of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, the white gabled Cape Dutch homesteads and the oak lined streets and lanes all blend in to give this place a charm that will not be forgotten. Time permitting; we will include a third wine tasting. We return to Cape Town with amazing photos and fond memories.<\/p>\n
