10 Nights of City, Coast & Adventure

CAPE TOWN &
THE GARDEN ROUTE

10 Nights of City, Coast & Adventure

Table Mountain abseils, penguin swimming, Chapman’s Peak road trips, wine trams through the Winelands, and safari nights under the stars. 

Adventure, wildlife, and coastline - all wrapped into one epic trip.

Climb Table Mountain and abseil down its cliffs, road-trip the Cape Peninsula past penguins, monkeys and ocean views, and taste your way through Franschhoek’s vineyards on the Wine Tram. You’ll wander colourful streets, dive into Cape Town’s food scene, and watch the sun set over the Atlantic with a glass in hand.

It’s culture, coastline, and adventure - all wrapped into one unforgettable trip .

11 Days | 10 Nights

Day 1 – Cape Town Arrival

Land in Cape Town, meet your group, and settle into the city. Tonight we’ll head out for dinner together — the first chance to connect and kick things off.


Day 2 – Cape Peninsula

This is South Africa in widescreen: Chapman’s Peak drive, the Cape of Good Hope, and penguins waddling along Boulders Beach. It’s a day of big views and big landmarks - all crammed into one stretch of coastline.


Day 3 – Winelands

The Franschhoek Wine Tram is exactly what it sounds like: a rolling journey through vineyards and valleys with glasses of world-class wine along the way. You’ll stop at heritage estates, taste your way through the region, and see why this is one of South Africa’s most celebrated experiences.


Day 4 – Table Mountain

We’re not just riding the cable car up Table Mountain - we’re abseiling down it. It’s as dramatic as it sounds, and the kind of story you’ll be telling for years. The rest of the day is lighter: explore the city, wander, or relax, before regrouping for a lively dinner with drumming, food, and atmosphere to match.


Day 5 – Oudtshoorn

Today we head inland to the Little Karoo. First up: the Cango Caves, with vast, echoing chambers that feel otherworldly. Afterwards, we’ll stretch our legs on a waterfall hike and wrap the day with dinner under wide, open skies.


Day 6 – Knysna

Back to the coast and onto the water. A boat cruise across Knysna Lagoon takes you past the dramatic Heads before we settle into a slower pace. Dinner is all about fresh seafood and a backdrop that doesn’t need filters.


Day 7 – Tsitsikamma

Forest ziplining, suspension bridges, and waves crashing beneath you - Tsitsikamma is nature turned up a notch. And for the brave, Bloukrans Bridge: the highest commercial bungee jump in the world at 216m. Big adrenaline, big reward.


Day 8 – Into the Bush

We swap coastlines for safari. Arrive at a private game reserve, settle in, and enjoy sundowners by the fire before dinner under the stars.


Day 9 – Safari Day

An early wake-up call, but worth it: sunrise game drive with coffee in hand, spotting elephants, lions, and maybe rhino if luck’s on our side. After a slow afternoon, we head out again for a sunset safari - same magic, new light.


Day 10 – Hermanus Coast

Our final full day brings us back to Cape Town via the Hermanus coast - known for whale spotting! (season dependent). Once back in Cape Town choose to Kayak across the bay, shop for gifts or paraglide off the cliffs if you want one last rush before heading home. That evening, we’ll share a final dinner together - a proper ending to the adventure.


Day 11 – Departure

Breakfast, goodbyes, and flights home. Bags heavier, camera rolls full, stories set to last.
