The Experience

Before You Go

Hydrate for long days

Carry a 1L reusable water bottle — the tour includes one bottle but refills are limited during drives and hikes.

Sun and wind protection

Bring a sun hat, sunglasses and a windbreaker; coastal wind can make mornings much cooler than inland vineyards.

Footwear for mixed terrain

Wear sturdy, comfortable walking shoes for boardwalks, short Cape Point trails and cobbled streets in Stellenbosch.

Timing and light

Schedule Table Mountain for early morning or late afternoon to avoid peak cableway queues and harsh midday light for photos.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Maiden's Cove tidal pool in Camps Bay for sheltered swimming and low‑tide photos
  • A small gallery and olive farm near Franschhoek with quiet tasting rooms away from the main routes

Wildlife

  • African penguin at Boulders Beach
  • Cape Fur seals around Hout Bay/Seal Island

Conservation Note

The Cape Floristic Region is a global biodiversity hotspot; visitors are encouraged to stick to trails, avoid disturbing wildlife colonies and minimize single‑use plastics.

Cape Town’s modern footprint grows from a 17th‑century refreshment station for ships; Bo‑Kaap reflects Cape Malay culture introduced during colonial trade routes.
