Continue along the rugged Cape Peninsula, passing the beautiful beaches of Camps Bay. Look out for wildlife in the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and view the engaging penguin colony at Boulders Beach. 

Day 3: Cape Town

Embraced by the Atlantic Ocean and flanked by imperial mountains, Cape Town hosts a dazzling display of bright lights and architecture reflecting both the beauty of the past and modern innovation. Simply step outside your hotel and explore the city’s grandeur, vibrant cuisine, and compelling history.

Blessed with one of the most stunningly beautiful settings of any city in the world, Cape Town and its surrounding areas offer enough activities to keep you occupied for a long time.

Day 5: Cape Town / Hoedspruit / Kapama Private Game Reserve

After a delicious breakfast, bid adieu to Cape Town - you’re off to the Kapama Private Game Reserve! The reserve offers panoramic views of the nearby Drakensberg Mountain range and the area supports a wide variety of wildlife including elephant, buffalo, rhinoceros, and a large population of giraffe, impala, blue wildebeest and kudu. Meaningful Moment: Arrive in time for an indulgent lunch before participating in an exhilarating afternoon game drive. 

Day 6: Kapama Private Game Reserve

Twice-daily game drives throughout the reserve, accompanied by expert guides and trackers, provide plenty of opportunities to witness the plethora of local wildlife. See for yourself why Kapama Private Game Reserve is affectionately known as the “African Eden” – this slice of wilderness paradise is secluded from crowds and home to the Big Five as well as more than 40 other mammal species and 350 different types of birds. Witness a magnificent African sunset while sipping a sundowner somewhere in the bush before celebrating with a communal dinner back at the lodge. 

Day 7: Kapama Private Game Reserve

Venture on early morning and afternoon game drives in an attempt to experience as much of this reserve as possible.

Return to your hotel for dinner at the award-winning Makuwa-Kuwa restaurant; ask for a table by the window to catch enviable views of the waterhole.
