Day 02: Cape Town
An exciting journey ahead as we enjoy a half day tour of Cape Town’s highlights, complete with a trip up Table Mountain*, the city’s most celebrated landmark. We start our day with a visit to the colourful Cape Malay quarter, known for its distinct pastel houses, and historic Greenmarket Square. We then explore the South African Museum. Located in Cape Town’s beautiful Company Gardens, this museum houses more than 1.5 million artifacts of scientific and cultural significance, including stone age tools and rock art, dinosaur fossils and modern collections. Our tour ends with Table Mountain (weather permitting). An icon of Cape Town, this mountain is the most photographed landmark in the country. The cable car ride to the top offers stunning views of the surrounding city. Since the opening of the cableway in 1929, more than 22 million people have taken the trip to the mountain’s summit. (B)
Day 03: Cape Town
Explore the stunning region around Cape Town as we tour from Cape Peninsula to Cape Point on this full-day adventure. We start with the famous scenic drive that winds its way through Hout Bay and Noordhoek along the Atlantic Ocean (weather permitting). Framed by a towering cliff on one side and a steep drop into the ocean on the other, this 9-kilometer stretch of road takes more than 100 curves. We then experience the Cape of Good Hope* nature reserve, a World Heritage Site set at the end of Cape Town’s south peninsula. Enjoy a trip via funicular to the breathtaking lighthouse 286 meters above sea level, stroll along the cliff paths, or venture down the steep slopes to the stunning white-sand beaches below. After lunch, we visit Simon’s Town beach, home to a colony of land-based African penguins over 2,000 strong, and Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens, which displays more than 7,000 species of South African plant life.

Day 04: Depart Cape Town
Day free. Hotel checkout is 1100AM. Optional sightseeing of the famous Robben Island - prison-home” to Nelson Mandela.
Mandela wound up spending 27 years in prison for leading the African National Congress (ANC), which opposed apartheid policies that kept South Africa's Black residents segregated, often in inhumane conditions. Robben Island is now a very interesting museum and was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1999. Regular ferries (subject to weather) ply to the island for a 3-4 hours excursion. Guided tour cost is US$ 80 per person. After a fascinating stay in Cape Town, we are transferred to the airport for our departure flight.
