Itinerary
Day 1 Johannesburg
to Madikwe GR
Arrive in the City of Gold in time to meet your short onward flight north
to the malaria-free Madikwe Game Reserve. Check in to your Luxury Family
Tent at the friendly aha Thakadu River Camp.
Days 2-3 Madikwe GR
Enjoy two full days of exploring the diverse variety of habitats in Madikwe
with your experienced and enthusiastic ranger. Traverse alongside dams,
through valleys and over rocky hills in search of the Big 5 and some of
the reserve’s other notable residents, which include wild dogs, hyenas
and impressive birds of prey. Back at camp, relax by the pool, enjoy dinner
in the beautiful tented lounge and soak up the sounds of the bush as night
falls.
Day 4 Madikwe GR to Cape Town
Time permitting, enjoy a final morning game drive before your short flight
back to Johannesburg for your onward flight to Cape Town. Your home away
from home for the next three nights is the modern Glen Apartments, located
in the popular beachside neighbourhood of Camps Bay.
Day 5 Cape Town
Beautiful Cape Town boasts a plethora of natural landscapes, so spend the
day exploring Table Mountain by cable car (fee payable locally), enjoy
a picnic in Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, or hit the beach in Clifton.
Day 6 Cape Town
Today, join a full day Cape Point & Peninsula Tour and follow the dramatic
coastline south to picturesque Cape Point and the Cape of Good Hope Nature
Reserve. On the return, stop at pretty Boulders Beach to marvel at the
amusing antics of the numerous African penguins.
Days 7-9 Cape Town to Stellenbosch
Watch the landscape change as you drive from the city to the lush, rolling
vineyards of the Cape Winelands. It may have the reputation of a world-renowned
wine producing region, but if you thought it wasn't a family-friendly destination,
think again! With grape tasting, a birds of prey centre and family picnics
on the lawn, Spier Hotel & Wine Farm is the perfect choice to spend
a few days of quality time as a family.
Days 10-13 Stellenbosch to Hermanus
It's time to head to the whale capital of Hermanus where you have the opportunity
to spot these majestic creatures in their natural habitat on a scenic whale
watching cruise. Soak up the coastal scenery, before heading back to Cape
Town to fly home.
