Luxe Cape, Safari and Mozambique Beach

One of the most beautiful cities in the world, Cape Town is a city that can really take your breath away. The horizon dominated by the iconic table-top mountain rising up in the background, whilst in the foreground are the crisp waters of the cape, the laid-back bustle of the city’s waterfront skirted by sandy beaches and picturesque suburbs.

This is the oldest city in South Africa, steeped in history and full of beautiful buildings from its colonial past. The tall mountains and green hills that surround the city have an immensely calming effect helping this to be one of the most relaxing big city visits that you are likely to have. You'll also have our top recommendations for activities, restaurants and shopping so that you can make the most of your time here.

Today you have a half day tour of the city and Table Mountain. Your tour is with a private guide and at your own pace picking out the attractions which interest you. Typically highlights include, the Houses of Parliament, the Castle (built between 1666 and 1679, this is South Africa’s oldest building), the lively Green Market Square with its daily market, the Company Gardens and of course Table Mountain which will give you spectacular views over the city and Peninsula (depending on the weather). On the descent, you can stop at the Bo Kaap, traditionally home to the Cape Malay community, with its cobbled streets and brightly coloured houses. Note that this tour can be done in the morning or the afternoon - the choice is yours.

This flight is the ultimate scenic tour covering the entire Cape Peninsula. From take-off you will get a great view of Table Mountain, Robben Island & the V&A Waterfront.

So much about a country and a culture is expressed through its cuisine. In South Africa, much of the cuisine is a home cuisine and to get a taste you really need to search hard!

With your expert local guide, you will walk the streets of Cape Town and experience its history, its people and its gourmet delights. En route, you stop to taste a mixture of traditional food, South African street food and to visit some artisanal foodie and coffee shops. This way you will enjoy a real taste of the Cape!

We suggest you only have a very light breakfast beforehand as there will be lots to eat on this tour. Unfortunately, vegans and coeliacs cannot be catered for, but vegetarians are welcome. Make sure you wear comfortable shoes.

On a usual tour, the first stop is Stellenbosch, the second oldest town in South Africa, with canal-lined avenues, and magnificent examples of Cape Dutch architecture.
