Pair the cosmopolitan allure of Cape Town with the untamed beauty of South Africa’s Eastern Cape on this exclusive pre-cruise escape. After a refined city stay, fly to the malaria-free Amakhala Private Game Reserve, where thrilling Big Five game drives are complemented by the intimate luxury of five-star Amakhala Bush Lodge. Secluded tented suites, private plunge pools, sweeping valley views and gracious safari hospitality create an unforgettable introduction to the African wilderness before your voyage begins.
DAY 1
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, collect your luggage and complete Customs and Immigration formalities before being welcomed by our local representative.
Relax during the approximately 30-minute private transfer to your hotel, ideally positioned near the celebrated Victoria and Alfred Waterfront—Cape Town’s vibrant harbor front destination for designer boutiques, acclaimed restaurants and lively entertainment.
Official hotel check-in begins at 3:00pm.
The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure—perhaps take a first stroll along the waterfront or discover Cape Town’s enticing culinary scene. Lunch and dinner are at your own arrangement.
Your Club Level room or suite includes exclusive access to the Westin Executive Club Lounge on the 19th floor. Framed by spectacular panoramas across Cape Town, this elevated retreat offers daily breakfast, all-day refreshments, evening canapés and thoughtful business services and facilities.
Note: Couples or pairs will be transferred by private van or SUV (max 4 large bags total plus 1 carry-on per person); solo guests will use a sedan (2 large suitcases plus a carry-on). Extra luggage may require a larger vehicle at additional cost—notify your RSSC booking agent at least 14 days before sailing with this information. Transfers include a driver only.
DAY 2
After breakfast and check-out, set aside any luggage to be stored in Cape Town before transferring to Cape Town International Airport for the next chapter of your South African adventure.
Relax on the drive to the airport, where you will check in for your flight to Port Elizabeth.
Board the approximately 1-hour-and-20-minute flight to Port Elizabeth, gateway to the wildlife-rich landscapes of the Eastern Cape.
Upon arrival at Port Elizabeth Airport, meet your driver-guide for the scenic journey to Amakhala Private Game Reserve, approximately 1.5 hours away.
Discreetly set above an open valley, five-star Amakhala Bush Lodge offers an intimate retreat immersed in the sights and sounds of the reserve. Each spacious thatched and tented suite overlooks a watering point and expansive African skies, with a secluded viewing deck and private plunge pool for quiet moments between safari adventures. Inside, refined comforts include hot and cold air conditioning, an atmospheric fireplace, a generous oval bath and a romantic alfresco double shower.
At the heart of the lodge, inviting lounges, elegant dining spaces and an expansive viewing deck look across game-filled plains. As evening settles over the reserve, gather around the outdoor fireplace beneath an unspoiled canopy of stars.
Upon arrival at Bush Lodge, enjoy a leisurely lunch before completing check-in formalities. You will then be escorted to your suite, with time to settle in and refresh before the afternoon’s sunset game drive.
Each of the lodge’s eight suites blends classic safari character with contemporary comfort, featuring thatched roofs, tented walls and warm wooden floors. Private decks with plunge pools invite uninterrupted views of the surrounding bush, while air conditioning, a fireplace, an oval bath and an outdoor shower create a deeply indulgent retreat. The main lodge offers a spacious lounge, dining room, pub and an expansive 96-square-meter deck with indoor and outdoor fireplaces.
Later, gather at the main lodge and set out in an open safari vehicle as the late-afternoon light softens across the reserve. Guided by Amakhala’s knowledgeable rangers, scan the landscape for birds of prey and the reserve’s remarkable wildlife, including the legendary Big Five. The unhurried pace, expert interpretation and changing colors of sunset make this first game drive a memorable introduction to the Eastern Cape wilderness.

Trade Cape Town’s cosmopolitan energy for the untamed beauty of South Africa’s Eastern Cape on a captivating malaria-free safari escape. At intimate, five-star Bukela Game Lodge, secluded luxury safari tents are woven into the indigenous bush of Amakhala Private Game Reserve, where elephants and buffalo may pass through the unfenced camp and every sunrise brings the promise of a remarkable wildlife encounter. With expertly guided Big Five game drives, generous lodge hospitality and time to savor the stillness of the wilderness, this is an unforgettable pre-cruise journey into the heart of Africa.
DAY 1
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, collect your luggage and complete Customs and Immigration formalities before being welcomed by our local representative.
Relax during the approximately 30-minute private transfer to your hotel, ideally positioned near the celebrated Victoria and Alfred Waterfront—Cape Town’s vibrant harbor front destination for designer boutiques, acclaimed restaurants and lively entertainment.
Official hotel check-in begins at 3:00pm.
The remainder of the day is yours to enjoy at leisure—perhaps take a first stroll along the waterfront or discover Cape Town’s enticing culinary scene. Lunch and dinner are at your own arrangement.
Your Club Level room or suite includes exclusive access to the Westin Executive Club Lounge on the 19th floor. Framed by spectacular panoramas across Cape Town, this elevated retreat offers daily breakfast, all-day refreshments, evening canapés and thoughtful business services and facilities.
Note: Couples or pairs will be transferred by private van or SUV (max 4 large bags total plus 1 carry-on per person); solo guests will use a sedan (2 large suitcases plus a carry-on). Extra luggage may require a larger vehicle at additional cost—notify your RSSC booking agent at least 14 days before sailing with this information. Transfers include a driver only.
DAY 2
After breakfast and check-out, separate any luggage to be stored before transferring to Cape Town International Airport, where the next chapter of your South African journey begins.
Check in and board your approximately 1-hour, 20-minute flight to Port Elizabeth, gateway to the wildlife-rich landscapes of the Eastern Cape.
Upon arrival at Port Elizabeth Airport, meet your driver-guide and settle in for the approximately 1.5-hour journey to Amakhala Private Game Reserve, watching the city give way to the open countryside and rolling hills of the Eastern Cape.
Hidden among indigenous trees at the crest of a secluded valley, five-star Bukela Game Lodge offers an intimate retreat within Amakhala’s malaria-free wilderness. The unfenced setting keeps the rhythms of the reserve wonderfully close, while the lodge’s refined design, warm service and tranquil atmosphere create a polished counterpoint to the adventure beyond.
Wooden walkways lead to privately positioned Luxury Safari Tents designed to immerse you in the bush without sacrificing comfort. Expect elegant African-inspired interiors, generous en suite bathrooms, private viewing decks and thoughtful amenities; in the stillness of evening, the distant calls of wildlife—or the measured passage of elephant and buffalo through camp—become part of the experience.
At the heart of the lodge, inviting dining and sitting areas gather around a central fireplace, while a broad wooden pool deck overlooks a small dam known to attract buffalo. It is an idyllic setting for a leisurely meal, a quiet drink or unhurried wildlife watching between drives.
On arrival at Bukela Lodge, enjoy a welcoming lunch before completing check-in formalities and settling into your secluded safari accommodation.
After lunch, you are escorted to your room, with time to freshen up and take in the surrounding bush before gathering for your first sunset game drive.
The lodge’s 10 Luxury Safari Tents are individually styled with understated African character and privately set apart from the main lodge. Spacious interiors and en suite bathrooms are complemented by air conditioning and private wooden decks; selected accommodations also feature indoor and outdoor showers, fireplaces and other indulgent touches that make the wilderness feel effortlessly luxurious.
Once settled, gather at the main lodge and set out in an open safari vehicle as the afternoon light softens across Amakhala. Guided by an experienced ranger, follow fresh tracks and scan the grasslands, thickets and valleys for the reserve’s celebrated wildlife. Lion, elephant, rhino, buffalo and leopard share this landscape with cheetah, giraffe, zebra, wildebeest, antelope and abundant birdlife. Every drive unfolds differently, shaped by the season, the light and the movement of the animals, while your ranger adds depth with insights into behavior, ecology and conservation.
As dusk settles over the reserve, return to the lodge to freshen up before a beautifully prepared dinner, accompanied by the sounds and star-filled stillness of the African night.
DAY 3
Awaken before dawn to the quiet anticipation of the bush. After tea, coffee and a light snack, depart in an open safari vehicle as the first light reveals fresh tracks and the reserve stirs to life. Cooler morning temperatures often bring heightened wildlife activity, and your ranger will interpret the subtle signs of the veld while seeking memorable encounters with Amakhala’s Big Five and the many species that share their habitat.

After lunch, set out once more in the golden afternoon light, when long shadows and cooler air transform the landscape and offer a fresh perspective on the reserve. Your second guided drive may reveal animals missed at dawn, dramatic predator-prey interactions or superb photographic moments before you return for dinner beneath the expansive African sky.

DAY 1
Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport, you will be met and assisted once you are through passport control and baggage claim. You will then be escorted to your hotel where you will spend the remainder of the day at leisure. Your hotel is located within walking distance inside the airport terminal.
Check in time at your hotel is at 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available sooner, this cannot be guaranteed. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night so that your room is available upon arrival.
DAY 2
After breakfast and check out, meet your local escort and walk back to the airport terminal to check in for a flight to Kasane, Botswana. A light meal will be served on board your flight.
As guests may only bring one piece of checked luggage per person, excess luggage (1 piece per person, 20kg/44 lbs.) will be shipped via courier to Cape Town where you will be re-united with it on Day 5. Make sure to pack accordingly and bring any medications and cruise documents with you.
Upon arriving at the Kasane Airport, proceed through Customs and Immigration. See further below for entry requirements.
After clearing Customs, you will be welcomed and transferred by road to Sanctuary Chobe Chilwero, an intimate hilltop retreat poised at the edge of Botswana’s celebrated Chobe National Park. Here, sweeping views unfold across the Chobe River and its vast floodplains, while the surrounding wilderness shelters an extraordinary concentration of wildlife, including an estimated 80,000 elephants. Established in 1967 as Botswana’s first national park, Chobe spans more than 4,500 square miles of dry savannah, lush floodplains, and teak woodlands—an exceptionally diverse landscape made for unforgettable wildlife encounters.
If time allows, enjoy lunch or afternoon tea and then some free time to get acquainted with your surroundings.
A bit later in the day, gather in the main lodge and set out for your first game drive in Chobe National Park. Safaris are conducted in 4x4 open side vehicles and led by qualified professional guides who will bring you close to hippos, buffalos, puku and other animals that gather on the banks of the Chobe River. Elephants, lion and leopard are also found in the area.
Return to your lodge thereafter for dinner and overnight.
NOTE: Activities and meals are subject to your flight time.
DAY 3
After an early-morning wake-up call and coffee or tea in the lobby, embark on a morning game drive in 4x4 open-air safari vehicles.
Returning from your morning safari, a full breakfast will be served after which you will have free time to relax at the lodge. Enjoy a nap or perhaps visit the exceptional spa with a tree-top treatment room and a split-level swimming pool. Spa treatments are an additional cost.
After lunch, enjoy a sunset 4x4 safari into the bush and then return to the lodge for dinner.
DAY 4
After enjoying one last game drive at Chilwero and breakfast, check-out from the lodge meet our local representative for a road transfer across the border between Botswana and Zimbabwe to Victoria falls. The drive is approximately 1- 1.5 hours depending on border time. Visas are required. See further below for entry requirements.
On arrival at the Palm River Hotel, a 5-star luxury hotel located along the banks of the Zambezi River, check in and enjoy lunch.
Later in the afternoon, you’ll be transferred to the Zambezi River where you will embark on a sunset cruise (shared departure). Depending on the size of the group, the boat may either be a covered single-level sightseeing boat or a larger boat with multiple levels. Enjoy a beverage from this vantage point whilst watching the sunset and possibly sighting hippos, crocodiles, various birdlife and maybe even an elephant or two along the banks of the river.
Your boat cruise is followed up with a delightful Riverside dining experience back at your hotel offering an authentic African barbecue-style dinner surrounded by the wilderness of Zambezi National Park.
DAY 5
After breakfast and check out, transfer to the Victoria Falls Rainforest where you will have a guided walk.
Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders”. In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.
A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!
NOTE: The cobblestone walkways within the rainforest can be slippery if wet and some spots are at a gradient. Proper walking shoes that have a good grip should be worn, and guests should wear appropriate clothing to get wet. Due to the amount of walking and terrain, this program is not suited for guests who have difficulty walking or who require use of a wheelchair or scooter. Walking distance will be 2-4km (1.24 – 2.48 miles).
After your tour of the Falls, transfer to Victoria Falls Airport for a flight to Cape Town. A light meal will be served on the flight.
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, proceed through Customs and Immigration (see further below for entry requirements). You will then be met by a local tour guide and transferred to your overnight hotel in the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront area. Lunch and dinner are on your own today and within the waterfront vicinity you will find a wide array of shopping and dining options.
Guests will be reunited with any excess luggage that was stored in Johannesburg and shipped to Cape Town.
DAY 6
After breakfast and check out, meet your guide in the lobby and enjoy a scenic drive to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. It is here that the Atlantic and Indian Oceans, along with their diverse ecosystems, are thought to converge. This expansive nature reserve occupies 19,150 acres of indigenous flora and fauna. Cape Point and its dramatic sea cliffs, among South Africa's highest, are main attractions of the reserve.
Upon arrival, you will ride the funicular railway to the top of Cape Point (if not in operation there is a pathway to walk along) and take in breathtaking views and photo opportunities.
This if followed by a visit the delightful African penguin colony at Boulders Beach, followed by a drive through the naval base of Simon’s Town to Fish Hoek. From here, you will continue on to the colorful fishing harbor of Kalk Bay before turning on to Boyes Drive, which offers magnificent views of Muizenberg and False Bay.
Your drive will conclude passing by the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, Mostert's Mill and famous Groote Schuur Hospital before returning to Cape Town and the port for embarkation.

Journey from cosmopolitan Johannesburg into the untamed heart of South Africa, where private-game-reserve exclusivity, exceptional wildlife encounters and gracious safari living await. Over two unforgettable nights at &Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge, discover 14,700 hectares of pristine wilderness bordering Kruger National Park, explored with an expert ranger and tracker. With no fences separating the reserve from Kruger and exclusive traversing rights that limit vehicle traffic, each game drive feels wonderfully intimate—an invitation to witness the Big Five, prolific birdlife and the drama of the bush at its most authentic. Refined lodge comforts, memorable dining and a final taste of Cape Town’s spectacular coastline complete this richly layered pre-cruise adventure.
PLEASE NOTE:
•This PRE-Cruise Program begins in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly into Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport. A flight to Cape Town is included in the program.
•The following program details are for reference purposes only and subject to change based on final flight details.
DAY 1
Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by a local representative and accompanied on the short walk to your hotel which is located within the airport terminal.
Check in time is at 2:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.
DAY 2
After breakfast, make your way to O.R. Tambo International Airport for your direct domestic flight to Hoedspruit—the gateway to South Africa’s celebrated private game reserves. Any excess luggage will be separated for storage (1 piece per person maximum 20kg/ 44 lbs.)
Upon arrival at Hoedspruit Airport, a lodge representative welcomes you for the approximately two-hour drive to &Beyond Ngala Private Game Reserve, your wilderness home for the next two nights. Even the journey in may offer a first glimpse of the wildlife and landscapes that define this remarkable corner of South Africa.
Set beneath a graceful canopy of mopane and tamboti trees, &Beyond Ngala Safari Lodge delivers the romance of a classic African safari with the ease and polish of contemporary luxury. Its privileged setting within the exclusive Ngala Private Game Reserve, bordering world-renowned Kruger National Park, places guests in the midst of one of South Africa’s most rewarding wildlife regions.
Twenty elegant, thatched cottages, blend traditional safari character with modern comfort. Natural textures, warm earth tones and private verandas create serene personal retreats, while the lodge’s inviting shared spaces remain intimately connected to the surrounding bush.
Twice-daily game drives with accomplished rangers and trackers reveal the reserve at its most compelling. Search for lion, elephant, buffalo, rhino and the elusive leopard for which the area is especially renowned, while cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, antelope and abundant birdlife add variety to every outing. Exclusive traversing rights and limited vehicle traffic allow sightings to unfold with a rare sense of space and intimacy.
Between adventures, linger beside the swimming pool, indulge in an optional spa treatment (additional expense), browse the safari shop or watch the wilderness from the safari deck. Dining is equally evocative, with gourmet meals presented in the lodge dining room, around the firelit boma or beneath a canopy of stars, depending on the evening’s arrangements.
On arrival, and time permitting, enjoy lunch before completing check-in formalities. Settle into your cottage, take in the tranquil setting and prepare for your first afternoon game drive as the heat softens and the bush begins to stir.
Return to the lodge after your game drive, refresh in the comfort of your cottage and gather for a beautifully prepared dinner—an elegant conclusion to your first evening in the African wilderness.
DAY 3
Awaken to a full day immersed in the rhythms of Ngala. Set out at first light on a morning game drive, when the air is cool and wildlife is at its most active, then return to the lodge for breakfast and time to relax.
Guests may also speak with their ranger or lodge management about substituting a guided bush walk, subject to local conditions and advance arrangements.
After lunch and a leisurely afternoon, depart once more as golden light settles across the reserve. Between activities, unwind by the pool, enjoy an optional spa treatment at your own expense or watch for passing wildlife from the safari deck. After your game drive, enjoy dinner at the lodge.
DAY 4
Begin with one final morning game drive, savoring the stillness, changing light and possibility of a last memorable sighting. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then gather your belongings and complete check-out formalities.
Bid farewell to the Ngala team and travel by road to Hoedspruit Airport for a flight to Cape Town, exchanging the wild beauty of the bush for the cosmopolitan energy of South Africa’s celebrated coastal city.
On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, meet our local representative and transfer to your overnight hotel near the lively Victoria & Alfred Waterfront, where boutiques, restaurants and harbor views create an inviting setting for your final evening ashore.
After check-in, the afternoon and evening are yours to enjoy at leisure. Perhaps stroll along the waterfront or select a local restaurant for dinner, which is under your own arrangements.
DAY 5
After breakfast and check-out, set out along the Cape Peninsula for the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, a vast protected landscape of indigenous flora, rugged shoreline and sweeping ocean vistas. At Cape Point, where powerful currents and distinct marine ecosystems meet, dramatic cliffs rise above the sea in one of South Africa’s most photographed settings. Ride the funicular toward the upper viewpoint, subject to operation, or follow the walking path for breathtaking panoramas and memorable photo opportunities.
Continue to Boulders Beach, home to a charismatic colony of African penguins, before passing through historic Simon’s Town and onward to Fish Hoek. The route then traces the colorful fishing harbor of Kalk Bay and climbs Boyes Drive, revealing magnificent views across Muizenberg and False Bay.
Returning toward Cape Town, pass the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, Mostert’s Mill and the renowned Groote Schuur Hospital before arriving at the port for embarkation—bringing your safari and Cape adventure to a seamless close.

Journey from Johannesburg to the wild heart of South Africa on an unforgettable safari escape, where thrilling wildlife encounters are paired with the refined comforts of Lion Sands River Lodge. Set along the perennial Sabie River in the exclusive Sabi Sand Nature Reserve, bordering Kruger National Park, this celebrated flagship lodge places you in one of Africa’s most game-rich landscapes. Spend two nights immersed in the rhythm of the bush, with expertly guided game drives, elegant river-facing accommodations and memorable dining experiences, before continuing to cosmopolitan Cape Town for a stylish finale near the vibrant waterfront.
PLEASE NOTE:
•This PRE-Cruise Program begins in Johannesburg and therefore guests need to fly into Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport. A flight to Cape Town is included in the program.
•The following program details are for reference purposes only and subject to change based on final flight details.
DAY 1
Upon arrival at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by a local representative and accompanied on the short walk to your hotel which is located within the airport terminal.
Check in time is at 2:00pm. Should you have an early arriving flight you may wish to book an extra night to guarantee room availability upon arrival, or you may choose to store luggage at Reception and begin to enjoy the facilities of the hotel.
DAY 2
After breakfast, meet our representative and walk to the airport check in counters. Check in for a domestic flight to Skukuza, the gateway to South Africa’s legendary safari country. Up to one piece of excess luggage per person, weighing up to 20 kg (44 lbs.), will be separated for storage.
Upon arrival at Skukuza Airport, meet your lodge representative and travel through the reserve to Lion Sands River Lodge, your luxurious safari retreat for the next two nights. Even the transfer offers an enticing first glimpse of the wilderness, with wildlife sightings possible along the way.
Poised on the banks of the perennial Sabie River within the renowned Lion Sands Private Game Reserve, River Lodge combines the romance of the African bush with contemporary elegance. Ancient riverine forest surrounds the lodge, while open views across the water create a natural stage for wildlife drawn to the riverbanks.
Designed to feel intimate and rooted in its setting, the lodge offers sophisticated rooms with serene natural tones, spacious en-suite bathrooms and private wooden decks. Between safari adventures, relax to the soundtrack of birdsong and flowing water, watch for animals moving through the bushveld or enjoy the lodge’s inviting communal spaces and safari deck.
Expertly led game drives reveal a landscape celebrated for exceptional wildlife viewing. Search for the Big Five—lion, leopard, elephant, buffalo and rhino—along with cheetah, hyena, giraffe, zebra, antelope and abundant birdlife. The reserve is particularly renowned for its outstanding leopard sightings, creating the possibility of rare and unforgettable encounters.
Beyond the game drives, the experience unfolds at an unhurried pace. Subject to lodge arrangements, join a guided bush walk for a closer look at the smaller wonders of the ecosystem, unwind beside the pool, reserve an optional spa treatment and savor atmospheric dining beneath the vast African sky.
On arrival at River Lodge, time permitting, enjoy lunch before completing check-in formalities. The afternoon then offers a quiet interlude in your suite and on your private terrace before your first game drive introduces you to the sights, sounds and untamed beauty of the reserve.
River Lodge’s luxury rooms feature king or twin beds, full en-suite bathrooms and private terraces overlooking the Sabie River. Open the glass doors and let the wilderness drift in—birdsong at dawn, the soothing flow of the river and, perhaps, buffalo gathering at the water’s edge as daylight fades.
As evening settles over the reserve, return from your game drive and freshen up before a delectable dinner, with the ambiance of the African bush providing an unforgettable backdrop.
DAY 3
Awaken to the hush of the bush and set out on a morning game drive as the reserve stirs to life. Return to River Lodge for breakfast, then spend the late morning at leisure or, by prior arrangement with your ranger or lodge management, choose a guided bush walk in place of one of the day’s drives.
After lunch, relax beside the pool, indulge in an optional spa treatment at your own expense or watch for wildlife from the safari deck. Afternoon tea precedes another game drive, when the softening light creates beautiful conditions for photography and predators begin to emerge.
Return to the lodge for dinner beneath the African sky.
DAY 4
Should time allow (depending on flight), begin with one final morning game drive (may be abbreviated), savoring the cool air and the possibility of a last memorable wildlife encounter. Return to the lodge for a hearty breakfast, then gather your belongings and complete check-out formalities.
Bid farewell to the River Lodge team and the wild landscapes of Lion Sands before transferring by road to Skukuza Airport for your flight to Cape Town.
Upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport, meet a local representative and transfer to your overnight hotel near the celebrated Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, a lively harbor district filled with boutiques, restaurants and inviting entertainment options.
Check in on arrival, then enjoy the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure—an ideal opportunity to relax at the hotel or discover Cape Town’s waterfront atmosphere at your own pace. Dinner is at your own arrangement.
DAY 5
After breakfast and check-out, set out along the Cape Peninsula for the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, a vast protected landscape of indigenous flora, rugged shoreline and sweeping ocean vistas. At Cape Point, where powerful currents and distinct marine ecosystems meet, dramatic cliffs rise above the sea in one of South Africa’s most photographed settings. Ride the funicular toward the upper viewpoint, subject to operation, or follow the walking path for breathtaking panoramas and memorable photo opportunities.
Continue to Boulders Beach, home to a charismatic colony of African penguins, before passing through historic Simon’s Town and onward to Fish Hoek. The route then traces the colorful fishing harbor of Kalk Bay and climbs Boyes Drive, revealing magnificent views across Muizenberg and False Bay.
Returning toward Cape Town, pass the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial, Mostert’s Mill and the renowned Groote Schuur Hospital before arriving at the port for embarkation—bringing your safari and Cape adventure to a seamless close.
