“Immerse yourself in 4 days of Cape Town's top highlights including Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point, penguins, and an overnight Big 5 safari at Inverdoorn Game Reserve.
About This Experience
This is the all-in-one Cape Town experience — four meticulously planned days that combine the city's greatest hits with an authentic overnight Big 5 safari, so you leave South Africa having truly experienced it all. Day 1 begins with a scenic cable car ride up Table Mountain, followed by the colourful Bo-Kaap neighbourhood, Company's Garden, and an evening at the V&A Waterfront. Day 2 takes you south along the spectacular Cape Peninsula — Chapman's Peak Drive, Cape of Good Hope, Cape Point lighthouse, and the beloved Boulders Beach penguin colony. Day 3 is your Robben Island experience — a ferry crossing and guided tour of Nelson Mandela's cell by a former political prisoner, followed by an afternoon wine tasting in the Cape Winelands. Day 4 is safari day: drive north to Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve in the Klein Karoo, a malaria-free Big 5 reserve home to lion, cheetah, elephant, rhino, buffalo, giraffe, and over 200 bird species. An open-vehicle game drive with an expert ranger puts you face-to-face with Africa's most iconic wildlife. Return to Cape Town in the late afternoon with memories for a lifetime.
