For a truly South African experience, we\u2019ll start you off in Cape Town, the city where stunning scenery meets vibrant culture. From the airport, we\u2019ll whisk you off to your cliffside abode for the next three nights – Tintswalo Atlantic. Teetering on the edge of Chapman\u2019s Peak and overlooking the azure waters of Hout Bay, you’ll be in prime location to explore the wonders of Cape Town and its surrounding natural bounty.<\/p>\n

With a guide in tow, drive over the hair-raising Chapman\u2019s Peak, keeping your eyes peeled for baboons in the rocky outcrops above. From here, you’ll continue onto Simons Town where you\u2019ll embark on an epic kayaking tour of the Cape of Good Hope National Park. Glide past the infamous penguin colonies of Boulders Beach before paddling to the south-westernmost point of Africa where you\u2019ll be astounded by the towering cliffs and peaks. Stop off for a picnic lunch on a deserted beach, where you can soak in the lush views without a tourist in sight.<\/p>\n
Head back to your hotel for dinner on the deck with a quintessential Capetonian sundowner, for one of the best sunsets you\u2019ll ever lay your eyes on. No visit to Cape Town would be complete though without a trip up Table Mountain for 360-degree views of the city and surrounds. If you\u2019re feeling especially adventurous, why not abseil down? \u00a0Soak up the sights of the city by perusing along the stylish antique stores of Long Street, before settling down for a decadent Cape Malay dinner as you watch the city come to life after hours.<\/p>\n
Bid farewell to the coast as you drive inland towards Oudtshroon in the heart of the Klein Karoo; South Africa\u2019s own outback where the imposing Swartberg Mountains loom over the vast landscape. Spend the next two nights amid the blissful nature on the shores\u00a0of the\u00a0lake at\u00a0Zeekoe Lodge. Take your own dugout canoe for a spin round the lake, or come face to face with South Africa\u2019s friendly watchdogs –\u00a0the meerkat. Tomorrow, the nearby Cango Caves are well worth delving into as Africa\u2019s largest underground cave network. Once you\u2019ve surveyed the drip-stone caverns and moonlike formations it\u2019s then time to take the plunge and dive with the crocodiles as you\u2019re submerged in a protective cage with the massive reptiles swimming on by.<\/p>\n
Finish off your adventure at the Samara Game Reserve for a quintessential bush safari.\u00a0 Spend a few days exploring the surrounds with game drives through the park, or get up close to nature with guided bush walks proving the best way to see the wildlife. For those with a penchant for conservation, the park offers tours where you can volunteer to spend the day with the park’s conservationists, learning a thing or two about the natural environment.\u00a0Our favorite thing about this landscape has to be the star-spangled night sky that illuminates the surrounding bush. With a knowledgeable guide in tow and armed with an astrology book, do a little star gazing for\u00a0a truly spellbinding way to end your trip.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
