ITINERARY IN DETAIL

Take the cable car to the top of Table Mountain for incredible panoramas then let your guide bring the stories of Cape Town to life as you descend into the city, hearing tales of the past, and exploring local food, design, arts and crafts. Continue your exploration heading to the Bo-Kaap, with its brightly coloured 17th century houses, cobble stone streets, Muslim shrines and beautiful mosques, then end the day mingling with locals at a cool city haunt, rooftop bar or beach cove, sun downers in hand.

This walking tour presents a medley of local styles and dishes, reflecting both individual cultural origins as well as new and long-standing fusions – all of which lead to an incredible offering of traditional Cape Malay flavours, spicy Indian dishes, wonderful meat, vegetarian, and vegan choices, the freshest seafood from some of the richest oceans in the world, and much more!

10 day South Africa itinerary: Cape Peninsula

Start the day at bohemian Kalk Bay, browsing the arts and crafts quirky fashion boutiques, antiques and collectibles along the main strip. Next, take a trip to Simon’s Town to discover the rich history surrounding this naval town. Begin a gentle hike in the Cape Peninsula Reserve, exploring secluded beaches, shipwrecks and the region’s unique wildlife, before a stop at Cape Point Vineyards for some of South Africa’s finest Sauvignon Blanc.

Explore one of the most beautiful areas in South Africa, visiting fascinating towns and off-the-beaten-track farms which revel in their old-world roots and influences. Stroll through vineyards, learn about farming methods and enjoy an intimate wine-tasting and cellar tour before visiting Stellenbosch, browsing through its wealth of appealing stores and museums, and the gourmet restaurants, boutiques and art galleries of Franschhoek.

Cultural tours can be arranged into the local Shangaan community, to get an insight into their rural way of life and culture. The Shangaan people are naturally creative and musical and it was in the gold mines of South Africa that the Shangaan workers made gumboot dancing famous, a style of dance which has evolved into its own art form.

Testimonials

The trip was put together at the last minute with lots of valuable insights from Melissa. She went the extra mile to make sure we were happy. She never pushed or promoted any single idea. She even arranged meet and greet at Johannesburg to help with the transit. A really amazing experience.

We enjoyed a truly personal, tailor-made safari designed especially for us by Destination Expert, Melissa. She helped make our wedding anniversary celebrations an unforgettable experience.
We were really well supported from start to finish on our trip of a lifetime. She planned a brilliant itinerary for us using her knowledge of the various safari lodges in South Africa that would suit us. Melissa and the team at cazenove+loyd adapted our plans at very short notice, late at night, when our plane from London to Johannesburg was delayed for 24 hours, meaning we would have been stranded at Johannesburg Airport at 2am in the morning and would have missed our onward connecting flight. The team quickly and seamlessly booked us an airport hotel in Johannesburg and rescheduled our connecting flight. It was so reassuring that they were able to respond to a phone call during out-of-office hours. Along the journey, as a couple of decrepit pensioners, we were very well taken care of. Melissa arranged meet-and-greet facilities at every stage and wheel-chair assistance was provided all along the journey. We have travelled with many travel agencies over the years, but this company is, by far, the most attentive, experienced and helpful, and it has been an absolute pleasure to work with them. We will definitely be asking them to tailor-make another holiday for us and we have no hesitation in recommending them to anyone else.

The team put together a fantastic 10-day family vacation for us in South Africa. Not only did they build the trip within our budget, but every detail was considered. When there were some issues during the trip, the team at cazenove+loyd responded immediately and made sure we were well taken care of. Over the years, I have worked with a number of travel agencies, and this company is, by far, the most attentive – and a true pleasure to work with.

I just wanted to let you know that this trip was everything we could have asked for and more. The lodges and guides were outstanding all the way through and we learnt so much and had a fabulous time. Our guide in Cape Town, Charlene, was especially outstanding and went way beyond the pale to show us the beauty and complexity of South Africa. We were very moved by our experience and overjoyed by our choice to travel with cazenove+loyd.
