Luxurious Cape & Kalahari
- Duration
- 9 Days
- Prices From:
- US$ 12,903
This deluxe itinerary features two iconic destinations. Cape Grace melds the modern comforts of a luxury hotel with traditional Cape heritage and culture. Tswalu is South Africa's largest private game reserve. This malaria-free landscape is home to over 80 game species including the Desert Black Rhino and black-maned Kalahari lions.
This 9-day luxury adventure through South Africa starts in Cape Town, one of the world’s most beautiful cities, before taking you to spectacular Kalahari Desert.
South Africa’s ‘Mother City’ sits at the foot of Table Mountain, overlooking one of the world’s most beautiful bays. You’ll take a cable car to the summit to enjoy the view. Then enjoy a tour through the city’s historic sights including the cobble-stoned Malay Quarter. Get a taste of South Africa’s increasingly popular wine culture in the Robertson Wine Valley, which offers 47 wineries, cheese shops and cruises on the Breede River. You’ll also visit a famous Klipdrift Brandy Distillery. On your return to Cape Town, a day at leisure lets you explore the city at your own pace. You may wish to visit Robben Island, the former political prison that once held Nelson Mandela.
Transfer to Tswalu Kalahari Game Reserve, where your luxury accommodation blends seamlessly into the stunning landscape. The name ‘Kalahari Desert’ is something of a misnomer. This is one of the richest wildlife regions in Africa, as you’ll see on an open safari drive. Keep a look out for lions, buffalo, rhinos, leopards, and over 230 species of birds. The Kalahari also boast unique creatures such as Desert Black Rhino, and its own subspecies of lion. On your two days at leisure, you may wish to venture out on additional game drives, or be pampered at the fully equipped on-site spa.

Half Day Authentic Cape Town City Tour
This morning you will be picked up from your hotel for a half day Cape Town City tour. No visit to Cape Town is complete without a tour of the "Mother City". Take a cable car to the summit of the legendary Table Mountain, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, (own account and weather permitting) with views of the City and surrounding layout of this southernmost tip of Africa.
You drive to Camps Bay, an affluent oceanside suburb of Cape Town, boasting a magnificent white sandy beach and once the hunting ground of Lord Charles Somerset. Wind your way along through Clifton, an exclusive residential area, home to some of the most expensive real estate in South Africa before meandering through Sea Point, the first 'commuter suburb' of Cape Town and now a recognized Orthodox Jewish community. En route you willl see the sweeping silhouette of the Cape Town Stadium before passing down Adderley Street considered the main street of the central business district.
The City Hall located on the Grand Parade is up next. Nelson Mandela made his first public speech after his release from the balcony of Cape Town City Hall.
Drive past the Castle of Good Hope, a Provisional Heritage Site. The Castle of Good Hope was originally built as a maritime replenishment station and is the oldest surviving colonial building in South Africa!
You then pass Charly's Bakery, home of Charly's Cake Angels, stars of the Food Network Show before hearing a brief history of District Six en-route to a visit at the Company Gardens. The public section of the garden is enjoyed for its sheer floral beauty as well as its historical setting. It is bordered by numerous landmarks including the Slave Lodge, present day Houses of Parliament and St George's Cathedral, the seat of the Anglican church in South Africa.
You hear about Greenmarket Square, the location for the well that was once the town's main water supply during summer months when streams from Table Mountain dried up, before a visit to the Noon Gun where you witness the historic time signal and learn more about the history of the Bo-Kaap and its people as you move up the cobblestoned hills to the Malay Quarter, and marvel at the ice-cream colours of the quaint Bo-Kaap homes.
Your final stop. A jewellery showroom where you meet a master diamond cutter and witness the process of cutting and polishing a diamond. You may even witness the rare opportunity of pouring of a gold bar!
