Your Itinerary
3 nights in Cape Town
Spend four days exploring Cape Town, South Africa’s colourful Mother City. Clink glasses on arrival at the breathtakingly situated 12 Apostles Hotel before settling in for an unforgettable journey to celebrate your love.
Explore Cape Town up close on a walking tour, then above it, from a helicopter. Tuck into a sumptuous lunch at the iconic Hemelhuijs restaurant before riding the cableway to the summit of Table Mountain for champagne toasts at sunset.
Discover Cape Point, the dramatic promontory where two oceans meet. Gallop on horseback along the powder-white stretch of Noordhoek Beach, visit the resident penguin colony at Boulders Beach, and sit down for a seaside lunch at Harbour House before strolling through the quaint village of Kalk Bay.
A visit to Cape Town would not be complete without tasting the region’s famous wines. Boasting the oldest wine estates in the country, your tasting journey begins in the Constantia Valley, then heads to Franschhoek for a garden tour at Babylonstoren and a wine tasting at Delaire Graff.
