Itinerary
Giorno 1 — Cape Town
Free day, we recommend visiting della città, Discovered in 1652 by the Dutch, who used it as a supply base for their ships bound for the East, Cape Town is now considered one of the most multifaceted cities in the world. It is dominated by landscapes of extraordinary beauty, where sea, mountains and countryside merge into a unique whole that leaves everyone speechless.
The tour begins at Table Mountain, which offers a magnificent view of the city. However, the ascent by cable car is subject to weather conditions; moreover, between July and August, the facility is closed for annual maintenance. Alternatively, you can climb Signal Hill and then continue with an orientation tour of the city.,
Giorno 2 — Cape Town
Free day, we recommend visiting Penisola del Capo, Cape Town is located on a spectacular mountainous peninsula that extends into the ocean. From the city, you can follow the Atlantic coast through the suburbs, beaches, and the Twelve Apostles promontory. In Hout Bay, you can embark on a cruise to Seal Island, an island inhabited by hundreds of Cape fur seals and cormorants. Then, you can drive along Chapman's Peak Drive, which with its 114 curves in 9 km is one of the most spectacular coastal roads in the world (subject to closure in bad weather). You will arrive at Cape Point, the famous Cape of Good Hope, the extreme tip of the peninsula where the Atlantic Ocean and the Indian Ocean meet. The first land you encounter south of the Cape is Antarctica; you can reach it by cable car. You will then reach Simon's Town for a seafood lunch. Visit the nearby Boulders Beach to see the rare African penguins, which are at risk of extinction.,
Giorno 3 — Cape Town
Free day, we recommend visiting Regione dei Vigneti, South Africa has long been a renowned producer of quality wines, especially in the Winelands area, literally "the lands of wine". The plateau, which extends from Cape Town inland and gradually rises in altitude, is a renowned wine region, considered by experts to be the best in South Africa. The magnificent mountain ranges that surround Stellenbosch and Franschhoek contribute to creating an ideal microclimate for vineyards. The first colonial settlements in this region date back to the second half of the 17th century, when the Dutch founded Stellenbosch and the French Huguenots settled in Franschhoek. Both of these cities are rightly proud of their young and innovative chefs, many of whom work at the wineries, and in recent years the region has become the driving force behind South African cuisine. Although it has long been overshadowed by the two nearby cities, the emerging Paarl deserves to be visited. Within a radius of 60 km from Cape Town, in the valleys and on the hills, the traditional Cape Dutch architecture of the Dutch settlers is in perfect harmony with the natural environment. To fully experience the Winelands, with its 600 wineries, the refined gastronomic tradition imported from Europe and enriched by local flavors, luxurious cottages and elegant boutique hotels scattered among the vineyards and the cities of Franschhoek, Stellenbosch, and Paarl, it is recommended to stay at least one night.,

Giorno 4 — Cape Town → Garden Route
Departure for the, Traveling along a stretch of wild coastline known as "the ship graveyard," battered by the waves of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans that meet at Cape Agulhas, you arrive at Arniston (Waenhuiskrans for the locals), one of the best-preserved fishing villages on the coast, overlooking a magnificent turquoise bay. To the east of Arniston lies De Hoop Nature Reserve, a wild area of wind-whitened dunes, rugged coastline, and whales.,
Auto
Giorno 5 — Garden Route
Free day, The De Hoop Nature Reserve is a marine and coastal park west of Arniston, about a 3-hour drive from Cape Town, created through a partnership between Cape Nature, the park management agency of the Western Cape Province, and a group of private investors. Along the coast, there are large sand dunes covered in fynbos, and from June to October, it is possible to spot numerous whales gathering in the waters of South Africa to give birth and wean their young.
De Hoop is undoubtedly one of the best places in the world to observe whales from land.
The reserve is home to a large lake, De Hoop Vlei, rich in birdlife, and numerous trails, both along the coast and inland, which can be safely explored independently. The De Hoop Collection offers a wide range of accommodations, from self-catering houses to fully equipped luxury suites. Some are exclusively self-catering, while others offer half-board with meals served at the Opstal Village restaurant. During the South African winter season (June-August), the vlei cottages with fireplaces are recommended. Numerous optional activities are led by excellent local guides, including hiking, mountain biking, and even quad biking.
A stay of at least two, if not three, nights is suggested.,
