Cape Point, Table Mountain & Stellenbosch: 2-Day Private Cape Town Adventure
Two days of Cape Town’s crown jewels: a coastal circuit from Clifton to Cape Point, followed by Table Mountain and the vineyards of Stellenbosch. This private small‑group tour mixes dramatic geology, wildlife encounters and wine country culture with practical local guidance.
The Experience
Before You Go
Time the peninsula for morning light
Chapman's Peak and Cape Point are best photographed in the morning or late afternoon when contrasts are strong and midday glare is lower.
Layer for sudden wind and fog
Bring a windproof midlayer; coastal winds can drop temperatures quickly even on warm days.
Respect wildlife distances
Keep at least several meters from penguins and seals—do not attempt to feed or touch them to avoid fines and stress to animals.
Reserve Table Mountain and winery slots
Book cable car and popular cellar tastings ahead, especially in high season, to avoid long waits or sold‑out slots.

Conservation Note
The region’s fynbos is fire‑adapted and fragile; stay on trails and support wineries and reserves that practice habitat restoration and responsible water use.
The Cape Peninsula has Dutch and British colonial layers, a naval heritage in Simon’s Town, and wine estates dating back to the late 1600s when the first vines were planted in Constantia.
