Day 1 Cape Town – Table Mountain B |
On Arrival in O.R. Tambo International Airport you will be met by African Wild Travel representative who will be your driver to guide you throughout your tour. The Driver will transfer to your hotel where you will check in and start your tour with a visit Table Mountain tour. A typical ride up the cableway lasts roughly 5 minutes. During these 5 minutes you will get a 360-degree view of Cape Town as the floor of the cable car rotates. This has caught many people off guard, including myself! The ride itself is a gentle one as the cable car moves at a maximum speed of 10 meters per second. Each of the two cable cars can carry a maximum amount of 65 people, and each trip between them are between 10 – 15 minutes apart.

This Morning we start our day with breakfast, at 08:30, the driver will pick you up from the hotel and transfer you to do your Winelands Tour.

This fantastic natural beauty, along with a temperate climate, has made Cape Town a long-time favourite of world travellers. As we head out of the city you might see a distinctive architectural quirk that is characteristic of this area. The gable design on many of the buildings is a legacy of the first Cape Dutch farmers who came to settle in the area in the 1600s and 1700s. Their influence can be seen in the architecture of the region as well as the great farm and wine estates.
PAARL: Our tour of the Cape Winelands starts with a visit to Paarl - a charming valley overlooked by the ‘Pearl of Paarl’, an imposing granite mountain that towers above this area. Stately oak trees line well-manicured streets and gardens and you can expect to see many fine examples of Cape Dutch architecture. This region was originally inhabited by the Khoikhoi and San people. European explorers first came into the area in 1657 in search of trading relationships with the local people. One traveller, upon seeing the giant.
