Itinerary
Today you begin your journey by boarding your international outbound flight to Cape Town.
On arrival in Cape Town you're met by an Audley representative and transferred to your accommodation in Cape Town by private vehicle. The rest of the day is yours to spend relaxing at your guesthouse or exploring the local area. We suggest heading to the V&A Waterfront, which has an excellent collection of shops and restaurants lining the harbour.
Today you will be taken on a full day private tour of the Cape Peninsula's beautifully rugged coastline, passing through pretty towns and villages. You will visit Cape Point which is one of the most iconic spots in South Africa. Here you can take a funicular to enjoy ...

Today you have a day at leisure to enjoy your last full day in Cape Town.Perhaps visit the famous Belmond Mount Nelson Hotel for afternoon tea or visit the markets at Greenmarket Square.
Your fully insured vehicle will be delivered to your accommodation this morning. You then drive for around one hour to Franschhoek in the Winelands. After settling into your accommodation, you may wish to take a stroll through the quaint town to browse its cafes, art galleries and restaurants.
Make the most of your time in the Winelands by visiting some of the many vineyards and wineries in the area. You could cycle between several different estates, or take the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which follows a circular route through the town and the surrounding count...
Spend today exploring Franschhoek further. This area is steeped in history, dating back to the Huguenot refugees who moved to South Africa to escape persecution in France in the 17th century. There's a memorial to the Huguenots in Franschhoek, as well as a small museum - well worth a visit if you're interested in history.
The Winelands are known as the gourmet capital of South Africa, boasting some of the best restaurants in the country, as well as small delis, charming cafes and bistros. We can make recommendations and book you a table before you arrive should you wish, or arrange for you to join a guided food tour to sample some of the region's cuisine.
Drive the hour and a half back to Cape Town today, where you can drop off your car before boarding your onward flights.
Arrive home today to complete your journey.
