There are so many places to explore in Cape Town; the iconic Robben Island, Table Mountain (be sure to go up as soon as you are able to), Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens where there are often summer concerts taking place, Cape Point Nature Reserve, visit the penguins at Boluders Beach and the vibrant V&A Waterfront.
Days 6-7 - Franschhoek
Staying at: La Petite Ferme
Today you will drive to the Cape Winelands. A stay in the winelands is not complete without visiting a vineyard or two. We recommend travelling around by way of the Franschhoek Wine Tram, it's a great way to sample wines and enjoy lunch on the way. If you like to horse ride around a vineyard is also a great way to sample the wines. Please do make time to take lunch at La Petite Ferme, the setting is picture perfect!

An early start this morning, as you will drive from Franschhoek to Cape Town Airport to return your hire car and check in for your flight to Hoedspruit. On arrival you will be met and transferred to your game lodge where you will spend 3 nights.
Simbambili Game Lodge is a wonderful place to travel out on game drives as you are in the Sabi Sands Game Reserve, we have often seen leopard in the area - a real treat. Leopards are not all you can expect to see, there are lions., elephant, buffalo, giraffe, rhino, zebra and a whole lot more. The guides will show you the habits of the animals and educate you on their daily activities. We highly recommend this area due to the abundance of wildlife, we feel we have been spoilt with such amazing experiences but our clients inform us that they also have experienced great game viewing too.
