Tour Highlights
The beautiful mother city of Cape Town has much to offer its visitors. From Table Mountain to Robben Island, its sights and sounds ensure a memorable holiday. However, no visit would be complete without exploring the Cape Peninsula. The slender finger of land that comprises the Cape Peninsula holds a host of delights to discover and enjoy. Whether you are looking for spectacular scenic vistas, historic sites, the oldest wine estates in the country or the serenity of a visit to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, the peninsula has it all and much, much more.
The Cederberg mountains are noted for their dramatic, wind-carved sandstone formations, such as the Maltese Cross and the Wolfberg Arch, as well as San rock paintings. The Cederberg Wilderness Area is known for its abundant spring flowers and fertile valleys in the surrounding dry landscape, as well as a rugged mountainous landscape. Animal life includes dassies in rocky areas, small antelope like klipspringers and reedbuck, and mountain zebras.
Between August and October each year, the sun-baked plains and sandstone mountains of the West Coast emerge into a kaleidoscope of brilliant colour as the countryside gives rise to the world-renowned wildflowers. The West Coast is blessed with stark natural beauty. The quaint fishing village of Paternoster famed for its picturesque wooden fishing boats scattered along the shoreline and home to the Cape Columbine Lighthouse and nature reserve is a must for those looking to sit back and destress.
The Winelands offers breath-taking scenery, historic homesteads, superb restaurants and of course, copious quantities of fabulous wine routes and a 300-year history. The Franschhoek Wine Tram hop-on hop-off tour is one of the best ways to discover the true essence of the Franschhoek Valley!
Walker Bay, in the heart of the Whale Route has developed from a rustic whaling and fishing region into one of the world’s best whale-viewing sites. Each year Southern Right whales migrate into the calm waters of Walker Bay to calve and nurse their young. The whales, often mere metres from the shore, provide unsurpassed whale watching opportunities between June and November. Humpbacks migrate through the region between May and December each year, while Bryde whales are found slightly further offshore all year round.
