Cape Town Orientation and Free Time
In what the locals call the ‘Mother City’, you’ll waste no time getting started. Kick off with an essential morning orientation tour to get your bearings, as your Travel Director brings the city to life — from the colorful facades of Bo-Kaap to the lush Company Gardens and the 17th-century Castle of Good Hope. Later, you can choose to uncover another side of the city on a Choice Experience to Cape Flats and explore Athlone’s powerful anti-apartheid history. Then it’s time to shift gears and take in Cape Town from above. Ride the iconic cableway up Table Mountain, where panoramic views over the City Bowl and Atlantic Seaboard promise a real ‘wow’ moment.

Cape Town Free Day
Today is about taking in Cape Town and surrounds, your way, and you’ll have options galore. Wine lovers could choose to pop the cork and sip their way through the day in the Cape Winelands, via the Franschhoek Wine Tram. Other options for those whose perfect day is the great outdoors: lace your boots up for a guided hike to the top of Table Mountain, or take it up a notch on a thrilling mountain-biking trail. In the evening, keep the local flavor going with a Choice Experience — a home-hosted South African BBQ dinner served with warm hospitality and plenty of conversation. Locations: Cape Town

Day 4
Cape Town - Johannesburg - Mabula Game Reserve

We board our included flight and say a quick hello to Johannesburg, before hopping straight to it as we make tracks to Mabula Game Reserve, home to the main event. Set against the picturesque backdrop of the UNESECO-listed Waterberg Mountains, the fantasy of coming to Africa will really set in. Wild, open and magical, in our 4x4 vehicle, it will be all eyes peeled as the sun sets over the bushveld and the animals begin to emerge. Locations: Cape Town, Johannesburg, Mabula Game Reserve

Feel like a true explorer as we navigate the dusty tracks in pursuit of spotting animals in both the vegetation and sparse open spaces while learning all about the area under our Guide’s expert knowledge of the area. Whether you spot the Big 5 or not, there’s no doubt you’ll enjoy this truly magical experience. So take a moment to put your camera down and soak up sights, sounds, and smells of Africa.

We’ll bid a fond farewell to the bushveld, tucking into a tasty breakfast, and just like that it's time to head back to civilization to our next city stop.

With an afternoon to explore your way take the opportunity to get a history fix at Soweto, delving into the infamous history of South Africa's oldest township and once home to two Nobel Peace Prize winners. For a slice of adventure, consider donning a helmet to explore the Sterkfontein Caves and wander the Maropeng Visitor Center, where humanity’s origin story comes to life through interactive exhibits.
