Where the edge of the world meets the sea – that's where you find Cape Town, South Africa’s oldest and second-largest city, filled with endless highlights! From Robben Island and the Castle of Good Hope for history buffs, to Table Mountain and Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden for nature lovers. Boulders Beach with its clumsy penguin colony and Hout Bay with its lazy seals melt your heart, and for cultural highlights, you'd best head to the colourful Bo-Kaap for a free walking tour. Afterwards, the V&A Waterfront is your place to be: not just for food and wine, but also for a shopping spree and a tour on the Cape Wheel... or even a sunset cruise with an invigorating glass of champagne!

Activities:

Visit Kirstenbosch Botanical Garden
Kirstenbosch is a UNESCO-listed botanical garden on the slopes of Table Mountain, showcasing South Africa’s unique flora like proteas (the national flower!), strelitzias and fynbos. Don’t miss the Boomslang (meaning tree snake) Canopy Walkway; this 12-metre-high walkway takes you from the forest floor into the trees, providing spectacular panoramic vistas. You can also visit the art garden and go for a short, sign-posted hike! And if you get hungry, there are three on-site restaurants to choose from. Free guided garden tours are available on weekdays at 10 AM, 11 AM, and 2 PM (weather permitting).

Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point and the African Penguins
Discover the dramatic beauty of Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope, where the Atlantic and Indian oceans meet. On the way, stop at Boulders Beach to see its famous African penguin colony up close. Explore the pristine beaches surrounded by granite boulders (indeed, Boulders Beach), before you continue south towards Cape Point's rugged rocks. Ride the Flying Dutchman funicular to the old lighthouse for unforgettable views from towering cliffs. This full-day tour includes plenty of off-the-bus time to explore with an expert guide. Pick-up points include the V&A Waterfront and Long Street; booking your tickets in advance is recommended.

Champagne Sunset Cruise in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront
After an exciting day in Cape Town, it’s time to hop on a boat, watch the sun sink into the ocean and raise your glass of champagne to the Mother City's skyline. For about 1 hour, you marvel at Table Mountain and Lion’s Head covered in an extraordinary light and witness the city turn into a sea of lights. Please note that departure times change daily, meaning you can book your ticket in advance, but have to check the exact departure time on the day of your cruise. Before departure or upon return, explore the V&A Waterfront as it's THE place for shopping and fine dining. Get here early (or stay late!), spoil your taste buds and shop for exclusive gifts!

As the drive from Cape Town to Swellendam only takes 2.5 hours to cover the 220 kilometres, you can opt to visit Table Mountain before hitting the road. Or you set off early morning, and reach your destination in time for the heritage walk in the beautiful historic centre of Swellendam, after having lunch in one of its many restaurants. And if you're in for some outdoor fun and game spotting, Bontebok National Park should be on your list.

Activities:

Swellendam
Swellendam, South Africa’s third-oldest town, charms visitors with its rich history, ancient oak-lined streets and iconic whitewashed Cape Dutch homesteads.

With over 50 national heritage sites, the town's fascinating past comes alive on a heritage walk through its historic heart. For nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts, the nearby Marloth Nature Reserve and Bontebok National Park offer scenic hikes and hidden waterfalls.


Historical walk in Swellendam

You can explore on your own or join a guide who’ll lead you past national monuments, museums and fascinating landmarks. Start at the Drostdy Museum, filled with intriguing artefacts, or begin at the Dutch Reformed Church and make your way toward the Cape Dutch-lined main street. Whichever way you choose, you’ll find cosy cafés, art galleries, a working pottery studio, boutique shops, and beautifully preserved farmsteads left and right. It’s officially a 20-minute stroll, but do consider taking out 2 hours to fully enjoy everything it has to offer!

Either way, Plettenberg's stunning beaches are waiting for you!
