DAY 1
Good morning cuppa and breakfast, we leave for Table Mountain at 07h30. We enjoy a couple of scenic hours on Table Mountain and the cable cars, enjoy lunch at the Table mountain restaurant thereafter taking transfer to Cape Town V&A (Victoria and Alfred) Waterfront and enjoy a sunset boat cruise, drinks and snacks. Head back to Backpackers for a good night’s rest.
DAY 2
Nothing like a great cup of coffee and a quick breakfast before we head out to Groot Constantia, steeped in history, where we will absorb a little bit of history and a lot of wine. After experiencing this amazing Heritage sight, we take transfer to another National Heritage sight namely Newlands Brewery where we experience a fun filled, educational tour of the brewery, thereafter enjoying a beer tasting. We grab a bottle of bubbly or two and head to the famous signal Hill, the best sunset and view of Cape Town! Take transfer to backpackers and enjoy a South African Braaivleis and the remainder of the evening spent at your leisure. We will be available in the event you need a transfer to a venue of your choice.
DAY 3
Morning Guys, lets enjoy a quick cuppa and head off with our picnic baskets/breakfast/brunch to Simonstown. Today we enjoy the beautiful scenic route along the False Bay coastline, along the way experiencing the major attractions whilst heading towards Simonstown Boulders Beach, getting to know and our penguin friends in their Natural Habitat. Meandering along the boardwalk we have plenty of time to shop at the craft markets and grab an ice cream while viewing the ocean, the scenic surrounds and natural Heritage sites. Nothing is better than viewing a glorious sunset, so we will dine at the Saveur Restaurant in the Marina and enjoy a light meal and sundowners. Okay guys it’s time to head back to the lodge for a good night’s rest after a full day.
DAY 4
Good morning friends, time to shake a leg and greet this day with much enthusiasm with a quick cuppa and a breakfast so we can get moving and enjoy our trip along the scenic marine drive along the Atlantic Coast between Hout Bay and Noordhoek. One of the best Marine drives in the world. Arriving at ‘The World of Birds’ in Hout Bay, we enjoy the day viewing many different bird species, Monkey enclosure, mammals and more, a truly amazing experience! After our sightings and explorations we will grab a quick bite at the restaurant on site, don’t eat too much otherwise the bobbing of the cataman might make you woozy on our next adventure to seal Island departing from Hout Bay fishing harbour at 15h30. I don’t think we can fit any more activities into this day, so let’s head back to the lodge; grab a couple of pizzas or meal of choice and rest up for tomorrow’s excursions.
DAY 5
Good morning, you know the regular drill, a quick breakfast and cuppa, before we take transfer to our next destination. It’s time to tantalize and tickle your taste buds! Today sees us experiencing superb wine tastings, and in addition a variety of tasting experiences such as Barley and biltong tasting, chocolate tasting and a beer tasting at the Cape Brewing Company, an extension of Fairview Wine Estate, situated in Paarl. (It’s your choice to eat breakfast or make this your breakfast, a fair warning). The only tasting we did not experience is a cheese tasting! That means we will have to pop over to Fairview Wine Estate to experience their delectable goat cheese tastings and more. If you really feel up to it, you may enjoy Fairview’s wine tasting in a relaxed environment. Don’t forget to purchase a couple of bottles of wine to enjoy this evening. (I recommend a delicate Pinot Noir or a Shiraz). Rest time.
DAY 6
Good morning, today just a quick coffee, we will grab a breakfast en route to the beautiful scenic West Coast road, taking in the abundance of Flora and conservation areas and Ostrich Ranch before we stop at Buffelsfontein and enjoy a Safari. A wonderful experience and great photographic opportunities spotting Rhino, Eland, Ostriches, Giraffe, Buffalo, Wildebeest and much more. After a full day of activity and beautiful surrounds we venture back to the lodge enjoying a dinner en route.
DAY 7
Good morning guys. Today we sadly say farewell to all our guests over a breakfast at La Bella, situated in Camps Bay with a wonderful oceanic view. Thereafter transfer to the airport takes place and we bid you farewell and a safe journey. As a special thank you for helping us create awareness with regards to conservation and ecotourism we give you a CD with your memories. Every booking with Xtreme Safari Africa allows us to contribute 3% of proceeds to a Wildlife conservation project. For more info please email us: info@xtremesafariafrica.com.
