Between panoramic hikes, safaris in wildlife reserves to encounter wild animals, visits to iconic neighborhoods and wine regions, and sporty water sports with locals... a memorable and unforgettable holiday is guaranteed!
Cape Town, South Africa's third largest city, is renowned for its vast nautical space, its sheltered wine-growing plains, its majestic rocky sites, its proximity to the Cape of Good Hope peninsula, and its dynamic, creative, and multicultural atmosphere.

Day 2: Hike to Lion's Head and visits to iconic neighborhoods.
There's nothing better than gaining some altitude to observe Cape Town from the rocky peak of Lion's Head.
After a pleasant hour's walk on the hiking trails, you'll be rewarded with a 360° panoramic view of Camp's Bay, Table Mountain, and Nelson Mandela Island. After lunch with a view, descend to Camps Bay Beach, one of the most beautiful in the region. Take the opportunity to relax on the beach or enjoy a drink before exploring the colorful Bo-Kaap neighborhood and the California-inspired Waterfront.
D3: Stand-up paddle, Surfing and vineyards.
Immerse yourself in the region's nautical culture with a giant stand-up paddleboarding session at Boulder's Beach (renowned for its penguin colonies). After a local lunch at Kalk Bay Harbour, head to Muizenberg Beach and its colorful beach huts for a surf session suitable for all levels. And since the Cape region is also known for having some of the finest vineyards in South Africa, we'll take you for a tasting at one of the region's wineries.
Day 4: Morning hike at Table Mountain.
Rising like a massive wall over 1000 meters high, Table Mountain is a striking feature of the region's landscape! It's considered one of the "New Seven Wonders of Nature." The view from the summit is well worth the effort, requiring a beautiful hike of about 2 hours (with an elevation gain of 700 meters) to reach the island's highest point.
