Day to Day Itinerary

Day 1

Arrive in Cape Town

After touching down and picking up your rental car head from the airport, drive to charming Walden House - a gracious Victorian home lying at the foot of Table Mountain. Settle in and make a few plans the next three days - there's plenty of exploring to do.

Days 2-4

Get to know the Mother City

Walden House offers urban relaxation in a peaceful setting but it's also ideally located to access many of the Cape's most famous attractions. Head up close-by Table Mountain on foot or in the cable car, visit the local beaches of Camps Bay and Clifton, go shopping at the V&A Waterfront or spend a day touring the beautiful Cape Peninsula.

You could also enjoy a morning at the spectacular Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens or meander through the Constantia Vineyards, stopping for lunch and a bit of wine tasting. In the evenings, you'll have a wide choice of nearby restaurants for dinner and drinks.

Days 5-6

Enjoy fine wining & dining

Leave Cape Town behind and drive to the university town of Stellenbosch, well known for its historical monuments, oak-lined streets and of course its award-winning vineyards.

Settle in at The River Manor Boutique Hotel and Spa. Situated on 'The Avenue', this elegant property is set in a picturesque part of town and is close to museums, street cafés, restaurants and galleries.

From here you can visit some of the top wine estates in the Cape or simply stay in and enjoy a massage, spa or beauty treatment at the Health and Beauty Spa.

Days 7-9

Explore the Timbavati Reserve

Today you'll return to Cape Town International Airport to drop off your rental car and catch your flight to the Kruger Mpumalanga International Airport.

You'll pick up another car and drive to the Timbavati Private Game Reserve on the border of the Kruger National Park. Arrive at Simbavati River Lodge for wonderful game viewing and a rustic bush experience.

Explore the area on guided safari walks and game drives, while in the late afternoon you can enjoy a sundowner on the deck and a delicious meal around the fire in the outdoor boma.

Day 10

Say goodbye to the Kruger
