Chugging along the famous Franschhoek Valley…

…in the heart of the Cape Winelands is the Franschhoek Wine Tram. A scenic hop-on hop-off tour takes you to wine estates all over the picturesque Franschhoek Valley. With breathtaking scenery, warm hospitality, renowned restaurants and fine wines, the Franschhoek Valley is one of the most pristine wine regions in the world!

The wine tram is one of the best ways to discover the true essence of the area as you will endure a unique and leisurely experience through rolling vineyards in an open-side tram and open-air-tram-bus stopping in at some of South Africa’s oldest and most prominent wine estates. And the best part is… you don’t need to drive after tasting all the fabulous wine.

The combination of tram and tram-bus allows greater versatility and access to hop-on and off at each stop to experience the activities and wine tastings on offer. The tram lines don’t necessarily run right through the estate front doors so charmingly you get picked up by a vintage tractor for a short trundle through the vineyards between Rocky Bridge and Grand Provence.

Once you get to the end of the line, the magic doesn’t need to stop there. From charming BNB’s to five-star boutiques there are various accommodation options within the Franschhoek Valley region. Sitting on your terrace with a glass of white wine mesmerised by the rolling vineyards or by the crackling fire with a beautiful glass of red, your Cape Winelands experience will be complete.

Whether it be the Okavango, the Zambezi River, or the Nile river, a honeymoon cruise, a family excursion or a day with friends, seeing the lush African wilderness from the water cannot be beat!

Traverse river deltas in comfortable custom-designed, game-viewing boats, with fully catered private safaris for groups and individuals alike. Combine birding, game viewing, photographic safari, and boating for a day of unforgettable sightings from an unforgettable perspective. Get up close with native water species, as you take in moments rarely captured on land!

Experience the early morning yawns of the hippo, the relaxed wildlife in the midday heat or heading the call of Africa whilst enjoying an iced cold beer as you relish the twilight hours… Life truly doesn’t get much better than moments like these.

“Scenes so lovely must have been gazed upon by Angels in their flight”

famously quoted by David Livingston when he first set eyes on the Victoria Falls. We agree! And you will too once you set your eyes upon the breathtaking waterfall that is truly one of the greatest natural wonders of the World.

As the vast curtain of falling water rumbles down the 100m crevice, crashing into the gorge below and producing a haze of mist which truly brings the rainforest to life, it provides the perfect experience for adventurers, nature lovers, and family alike.

As you stroll through the rainforest with or without your poncho, you will stop at the various vantage points all of which give you a different perspective of the majestic falls. The Victoria Falls are 1700m wide and are made up of five different ‘falls’ which are known as The Devil’s Cataract, Main Falls, Rainbow Falls, Horseshoe Falls and the Eastern Cataract. You can appreciate each of these falls during your time in the rainforest. Throughout your stroll, you will also witness some incredible vegetation famous to the Zambezi region as well as some wildlife which calls the area home.

Immersed in a world below the surface…

…with fascinating sea life, coral and other squishy things that wiggle below the bubbles, snorkelling or diving gives you the opportunity to explore a world unseen by thousands. From brightly coloured tide pools to deep cravenness caves, the underwater experience never ceases to amaze.

The locations change, but the level of expertise stays the same as we hire the best guides to show you the “special spots” where the rarest and most unique of sea life come to swim and feed.

Whether you’re an experienced diver or a novice snorkeler there are many fabulous destinations to visit. From Cape Town to Mozambique to the white sandy beaches of Mauritius and Seychelles to the far reach of the private islands of Zanzibar the opportunities of discovering the magic below the surface are endless and at your fingertips.

Take a break from the mainland…

…and ferry boat over to South African’s famous Robben Island, now hailed as a beacon of hope and forgiveness in the country’s colourful/rich history. Lasting approximately 3 ½ hours (including the ferry ride), guests board a bus from Murry’s Bay Harbor and tour the island with a guide, glimpsing symbols of South Africa’s apartheid-stained past, including a graveyard of lepers, the quarries, Robert Sobukwe’s house, army and navy bunkers and the maximum security prison where Nelson Mandela was detained.

After the bus tour, enter the prison itself on foot with a real ex-prisoner to lease the way and fill your mind with images of what life was like incarcerated on the island. Among many things, this guide will show you cell 4664, where Nelson Mandela spent 27 years of his life, inspiring thousands of prisoners a day and writing his book A Long Walk to Freedom.

As you stroll back to the harbour and catch the ferry to Cape Town, take time to ponder the meaning of freedom along the “freedom walkway” and if you’re lucky, catch the occasional whale breaching the water’s edge in the wake of the boat.

Just to put it out there: The view from Table Mountain is one of the best in the world.

Seriously, it’s true. The view from Table Mountain rivals some of the best views you’ve ever seen, guaranteed.

So let’s say it’s a pretty day – and it has to be a pretty day or they close all access – and you step onto a giant, rotating cable car that launches you 3,558ft high in 5 minutes flat. And all through the experience, you’re thinking, this thing could not go any higher. But it does. And when it releases you at the top, you quickly take one of the stone paths to the edge where Cape Town, in all of it’s green and blue and coastal splendour, stretches out beneath you. This is the part where you can safely exclaim: “I’m the King of the World!” and no one would judge you.
