From Table Mountain one of the most impressive views of the world can be enjoyed - the Indian Ocean and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic and the Cape Peninsula which sinks away and allows these two great oceans to meet at Cape Point. We also visit the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens which had its conception when the mining magnate and philanthropist Cecil Rhodes donated the land to the people of South Africa. The garden is home to 4000 of the 18000 species of Flora which are found in South Africa and creates a most remarkable display.

The spectacular Chapman's Peak drive cut into the 650m high Chapman's Peak leads the tour through the Town of Noordhoek to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. A botanical and scenic delight the reserve is home to several antelope species as well as a great diversity of flowering plants and birds. A highlight is sure to be the walk to the summit of Cape Point , where it is said the stormy waters of the Atlantic are met by the calming influence of the Indian Ocean. This Cape which that played such a central role in the tales and legends of the ocean was and remains an important landmark situated at the South Western Edge of Africa, proclaiming that this is where the two halves of the World, east and west meet. The tour traces the Indian Ocean Seaboard on the way back to Cape Town with a visit to Boulders Beach, an attractive secluded haven, which comprises a tumble of huge round rocks on a sandy shore.

Day 3: Cape Town
A short ferry ride from the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront brings guests to Robben Island. This infamous Island only 574 Ha in extent, measuring 3,5 by 2 km, has played an important role in South Africa's long and turbulent history. Views which can be enjoyed off the Cape Peninsula and the South African mother city make the ferry ride quite an enjoyable experience. Home to President Nelson Mandela for a large part of his 27 year incarceration, the prison has since been turned into a museum and the tour is conducted by an ex political prisoner who has had first hand experience of the conditions on the Island. Visits are made to the prison building as well as to the lime stone quarry where the prisoners where forced to work. Some wildlife have been re-introduced to the Island and a glimpse might be enjoyed of one of Africa's animals in these surroundings. The duration of the Robben Island excursion including the return ferry ride is about four hours which would bring guests back to the V& A Waterfront around lunch time. The rest of the afternoon is spent at leisure.

Day 4: Cape Town
After breakfast a forty-minute drive leads the tour into the heart of South Africa's wine producing region where the stark contrast between vineyards and harsh mountains create the perfect backdrop to a tour of the historical town of Stellenbosch. The town is the oldest in South Africa after Cape Town, and is undoubtedly the most scenic and historically-preserved town in Southern Africa. Oak-lined streets next to water furrows compliment the many fine examples of elegant Cape Dutch, Victorian and Georgian architecture - all part of this unique "Town of Oaks". The town, ideally situated in a magnificent mountain valley, boasts a mild Mediterranean climate. The Stellenbosch Wine route is the oldest, largest and probably the most visited of the Southwest Cape's wine routes. Many of the estates are very old, their gabled, whitewashed Cape Dutch Homesteads, rolling vineyards and shade-dappled grounds lovely beyond measure. We visit two of these fine estates where the art of wine making in South Africa is experienced first hand. A large variety of cultivars can be sampled and a specific cultivar which appeals to your palette is sure to be found. The tour returns to Cape Town during the late afternoon.

The Rhino, Lion, Leopard, Buffalo and Elephant received this well known collective name in times past when the first European Hunters in Africa regarded them to be the most dangerous animals on the continent.
