Experience the splendor of the Cape Winelands with a three-night stay in the charming town of Franschhoek. Begin your visit with a cable car journey to Table Mountain, a renowned Cape Town landmark. This tour then provides multiple opportunities for curated food and wine tastings, including participation in the Wine & Cuisine Wine Tram excursion—an exceptional way to discover Franschhoek's culinary highlights.

Hinweis: This program is not recommended for guests who require use of a wheelchair or scooter. The Wine Tram is not accessible and the terrain is not always even at the wineries.

TAG 1

Disembark the ship in Cape Town and meet your driver-guide. Begin the journey with a drive to Lower Table Mountain Road where you will board a Swiss-engineered rotair cable car and ascend from the 1,190-foot Valley Station to the 3,477-foot Mountain Station. The ascent, which takes approximately four minutes, features panoramic views as the floor of the cable car rotates 360 degrees throughout both the ascent and descent.

At the summit, the natural reserve extending from Signal Hill to Cape Point is managed by the National Parks Board, which oversees one of the world's highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species for its size. Notably, this region contains 2.285 plant species—more than can be found in the entirety of the United Kingdom.

After some time to explore at the top, make your way back down and re-board your vehicle for a drive to your luxury hotel in the quaint town of Franschhoek.

Check-in on arrival (official check-in time is 14:00 Uhr).

At Le Quartier Francais, the suites and rooms offer luxury furnishings and are set in peaceful scented gardens. Each room features vibrant colors, unique decor, and amenities like fruit baskets, wine, and a stocked mini bar.

Spend the remainder of the day at leisure with lunch and dinner on your own.

Your stay at Le Quartier Francais includes access to several restaurants on the property (lunches and dinners are at own cost) along with the Great Heart Wine Boutique and Leeu Spa.

The chefs craft dishes inspired by the changing seasons, utilizing ingredients sourced predominantly from the Leeu estate's own vegetable gardens and orchards. Daily harvesting ensures that each meal benefits from a consistently high standard of freshness and quality.

Adjacent to the property is the Everard Read Gallery, showing the best modern and contemporary artworks by southern African artists. The gallery includes a sculpture garden for monumental works interspersed with herbs and vegetables, the first of its kind in South Africa. The fresh produce from the garden features on the menus of the Leeu Collection’s restaurants. The hotel is also located in the heart of Franschhoek therefore walking distance to all of the available boutique shops, restaurants, museums and more.

TAG 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and begin a full day Winelands discovery tour of Paarl & Stellenbosch.

Begin your experience with a visit to the Paarl Wine region, where you can participate in an elegant chocolate and wine pairing at The Courtyard of Nederburg Wine Estate. This setting offers refined ambiance and exceptional views of the historic Nederburg estate.

After your tasting and leisure time, visit Fairview Wine Estate for an informal cheese and wine tasting experience. Fairview operates as a working farm and hosts several micro-businesses committed to producing artisanal and sustainable goods, with a particular emphasis on premium wine and cheese.

From here, travel across towards the wine region of Stellenbosch where lunch will be enjoyed at Tokara Wine Estate and restaurant or similar, including estate wine.

Following lunch, enjoy free time in the town of Stellenbosch, home to the Dorpshuis Museum and a few quaint boutique shops.

In the afternoon, return to your hotel where the remainder of the day is at your leisure. Dinner is on you own.

TAG 3

Today, explore Franschhoek in the best way - by the Wine Tram whose departure point is within walking distance from your hotel. Your tour is the Wine and Cuisine Experience.

Make your way to the meeting point for the tram (3-4 minute walk around the corner from the hotel – a hotel shuttle can be provided should you not wish to walk – please advise our local team when you arrive should you require this option so it can be arranged)

Guided by a wine ambassador, you will hear about Franschhoek Valley’s history, wine, and culture. The itinerary includes food and wine pairings for breakfast, lunch, and dessert.

For nature-lovers looking to explore beautiful Cape Town in a more adventurous way, this program has been designed for you! Enjoy an invigorating hike up to the top of Cape Town’s landmark, Table Mountain; paddle with the penguins in Simon’s Town; and explore Cape Point Nature Reserve on foot plus enjoy two full days at leisure to explore the region at your leisure. Perhaps go shark cage diving in Gansbaai, take a 4x4 game drive in Aquila or even cycle through the Cape Winelands!

Due to the nature of this program, it is not available for guests who have mobility restrictions. Guests need to be able to hike distances with inclines and steps and manage a 2-person ocean kayak. Participants must be at least 12 years of age or more.

TAG 1

Disembark the ship in Cape Town. You will be met and transferred to your hotel, located inside the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to so many restaurants, shops and plenty of entertainment. There really is something for everyone here including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa (Museum of Contemporary Art) and more.

Hotel check-in is at 14:00 Uhr. Since you will be arriving earlier, you may store your luggage storage at Reception until your room is ready.

The day is at your leisure with all meals on your own.

TAG 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your hiking guide in the lobby of your hotel take a short transfer to Table Mountain. After a safety briefing and donning your gear, the group will hike up the side of Table Mountain. The starting point of the hike depends on the weather and wind conditions on the day.

The Platteklip Gorge hike is the quickest, easiest and most direct route to the summit of Table Mountain and therefore also the most popular. The approximate 2-mile route follows a well-constructed trail up a deep ravine on the iconic front face of the mountain. The average time to complete the hike is approximately 2-2.5 hours but it depends on your starting point. It is a challenging hike that gets steeper the higher you go. Be prepared for steps, inclines, boulders and little to no shade. Technical skills are not required but this is not recommended for beginner hikers, and it is recommended to drink plenty of fluids along the way.

The lower section leads up beside a stream, reduced to a trickle in summer (November to February), but gushing in winter (June to August). Further up, the gorge narrows between imposing cliffs. The setting gets more dramatic as the sidewalls close in, almost converging at the top and barely allowing access to the summit through a two-meter-wide corridor. The route offers stunning city and harbor views, restricted in the upper section by the sidewalls. Vegetation is fynbos (endemic shrub) with a patch of indigenous Afro-montane forest about a quarter of the way up.

Once you’ve reached the top, take some time to appreciate the magnificent views, savor a cold beverage and then take the cable car down to where your vehicle and driver await your return. Hinweis: There are restrooms at the cable car station.

Transfer to a local restaurant and enjoy a well-deserved lunch followed by free time on Camp’s Bay or Clifton Beach, before returning to your hotel. Der Rest des Tages steht zur freien Verfügung. Ihr Dinner organisieren Sie in Eigenregie.

Hinweis: Guests should wear comfortable hiking shoes or boots (non-slip, with grip and good ankle support), hat, sunscreen and bring a small backpack to carry water

TAG 3

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and depart for Simon’s Town where your ‘Penguin Paddle’ (kayaking) await you.

The African Penguin Colony at Boulders beach, Simonstown, is one of few land-based Penguin Colonies in South Africa where over 2500 birds are found.

Launch into the cool, clear, sparkling waters of the Atlantic Ocean, feel the spray of the salt-water dripping off the end of your paddle as you paddle your way through the rocky pools and outcrops around Boulders Beach. As the sun warms your shoulders, penguins skim the water below you, diving and dancing in the waves. Using stable, easy to paddle, two-man kayaks, explore the crystal waterways of this fascinating Penguin colony with your kayaking guide.

Hinweis: Paddling with Penguins involves kayaking on the ocean. Simonstown is a windy area in summer. Paddling into the wind is physically demanding, therefore guests need to be in good physical condition.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant in the area before moving to Cape Point Nature Reserve where you can visit both the spot where the two oceans meet and also take an optional walk up to the Cape Point Lighthouse for fantastic photo opportunities of the ocean and the cliffs.

Return to your hotel in the afternoon where a hospitality desk will be set up to help you plan your next day. There are plenty of options to sign up for (at own additional cost) and include but are not limited to Shark Cage Diving in Gansbaai, day safari’s, cycling in the Winelands and much more.

Der Rest des Tages steht zur freien Verfügung. Ihr Dinner organisieren Sie in Eigenregie.

Hinweis: Guests should wear a bathing suit and cover up and shoes that can get wet (ideally not flip flops), also a hat and sunscreen. Bring a towel with and an extra set of clothing in case you get wet while on the kayaks.

TAG 4

After breakfast the day is at your leisure. Our hospitality desk team will be available again this morning to help you plan your day.

Alternatively, you may wish to simply enjoy a day at leisure perhaps making a visit to Zeits Mocaa (local art museum), having some retail therapy, hiring a bicycle for a leisurely ride in and around the waterfront and its adjoining areas, visiting the SA Museum or District Six Museum or enjoying high tea at the Mount Nelson to name a few. The choice is yours!

Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

TAG 5

Explore beautiful Cape Town, with so much to offer, including Penguin Beach, Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Groot Constantia Wine Estate, Stellenbosch Winelands and Table Mountain with your hotel located in the heart of the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront.

TAG 1

Disembark the ship in Cape Town and meet your guide for an orientation tour of the city and a drive up Kloof Nek, to the saddle between Table Mountain and Lion's Head, en-route to the Lower Cableway Station.

Upon arrival at Lower Table Mountain Road, board a Swiss-engineered rotair cable car, and ascend from the 1,190-foot Valley Station to the 3,477-foot Mountain Station. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under four minutes and offers spectacular views as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area is home to one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size; its impressive 2.285 plant species are greater in quantity than those of the entire U.K. combined.

Following your visit to Table Mountain, re-board your vehicle and transfer to your hotel which is located inside the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to so many restaurants, shops and plenty of entertainment – something for everyone including boat cruises (ferries and sunset catamaran cruises), the Big Wheel, Two Oceans Aquarium, Zeitz Mocaa and more.

Check into your hotel at 14:00 Uhr and spend the remainder of the afternoon and evening at leisure. Any meals are on your own today.

TAG 2

Following breakfast at the hotel, meet your tour guide in the lobby of your hotel and embark on a full day discovery tour.

Start off with a scenic drive past the seaside suburbs of Camp’s Bay, Clifton and Llundudno and onto Hout Bay. Continue over scenic Chapma’s Peak, providing phenomenal photo opportunities. Then onto Boulders Beach to view the African Penguins in their natural habitat.

Thereafter, continue onto Groot Constantia Wine Estate. Groot Constantia wine farm is testimony of how one man’s love for wine established South Africa’s first wine farm in 1685. In a word, their wines are from rich African soil, crafted to perfection. Furthermore, their heritage stands for growth, life and beauty.

During your visit to Groot Constantia, you may explore the original Cape Dutch Manor House; visit the famed Cloete Cellar (the birthplace of Grand Constance) for a self-guided tour and enjoy a wine and chocolate tasting experience. You will also take home a souvenir branded wine glass.

Enjoy a delicious three course lunch at Jonkershuis at Groot Constantia Wine Estate.

Thereafter, embark on a short transfer to Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens – acclaimed as one of the great botanic gardens of the world. Few gardens can match the sheer grandeur of the setting of Kirstenbosch, against the eastern slopes of Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

Enjoy a leisurely stroll through these beautiful gardens. Consider a walk on and over the Centenary Tree Canopy Walkway - a new curved steel and timber bridge that winds and dips its way through and over the trees of the Arboretum. Inspired by a snake skeleton, it is informally called ‘The Boomslang’ (meaning tree snake).

The Walkway takes you from the forest floor into and through the trees and bursts out above the canopy, giving spectacular panoramic vistas of the surrounding mountains, Garden and Cape Flats.

Return to your hotel in the late afternoon. Spend the evening at leisure. Dinner is on your own today.

TAG 3

Next, take a short drive to Muratie Wine Estate located on steep slopes of the Simonsberg Mountain. Here time stands still, and centuries of fascinating stories live on. Immerse yourself in the tastes, the sights, the sounds and the warm welcome of a truly authentic Cape wine farm.

Located in the Knorhoek Valley north of Stellenbosch, Muratie dates back to 1685 when it was granted by Simon van der Stel, then Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, to German soldier Laurens Campher. Through the centuries Muratie, one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa, had several other colourful owners and is currently under the stewardship of the Melck family, who are deeply rooted here.

Their guiding philosophy is to preserve this rich history and cultural heritage and share it with wine lovers from around the world. Equally important, is to build a future legacy of dedication to excellence.

Here you will enjoy estate wines (a variety of white and red wine) followed by a delicious lunch.

Thereafter enjoy free time in the town of Stellenbosch, including an optional visit to Stellenbosch Museum (entry fee). The Stellenbosch Village Museum currently comprises of four houses of historical interest and their gardens.

Each of these beautiful homes represents a different period in the architectural development of Stellenbosch. The houses, their interiors and their gardens have been wonderfully restored, furnished, planted and decorated to illustrate the particular style and taste of the time.

Located on the border between Zambia and Zimbabwe, Victoria Falls is the world’s largest curtain of falling water, based on the falls’ one-mile width and height of 360 feet. It’s an amazing spectacle to watch as the Zambezi River roars over the edge of a basalt gorge, forming what locals call Mosi-Oa-Tunya or “the smoke that thunders.” In November 1885, after seeing the falls for the first time, Scottish explorer and Doctor David Livingstone re-named them after Queen Victoria.

A path along the edge of the rainforest provides visitors with an unparalleled series of views of the falls but be prepared to get wet from the tremendous spray!

TAG 1

Upon disembarkation, meet your tour guide and board your vehicle.

No visit to Cape Town is complete without a trip up Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark.

Depart from the port and travel up Kloof Nek, the saddle between Table Mountain and Lions Head, to the lower cableway station. Ascend from the Valley Station (363 m) to the Mountain Station (1 060 m) in a Swiss engineered Rotair cable car. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

Table Mountain gets its name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area has one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size, containing a staggering 2 285 plant species – more than the entire U.K.

Upon descent, re-board your vehicle and transfer to your hotel. Check in time is at 14:00 Uhr. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed.

Your hotel is located a stone’s throw away from the popular Victoria and Alfred Waterfront – home to numerous shops, restaurants and plenty entertainment. You may opt to take a leisurely stroll to the waterfront or perhaps make use of the hotel’s complimentary hourly shuttle.

The remainder of the day and evening is at your leisure. Zeit und Ort für Ihr Abendessen können Sie selbst bestimmen.

The official check-in time at your hotel is at 14:00 Uhr. If rooms are not available at time of arrival, consider enjoying a visit to the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront, which is not far from the hotel. This area is home to numerous shops, restaurants and plenty of entertainment.

Lunch and dinner are on your own today.

Upon arrival at the Skukuza Airport, you will be met and transferred by road to your lodge. Check-in will be followed by free time.

Little Bush Camp lies hidden in the shade of indigenous riverine trees, on a bend of the Msulthlu River. It is the smallest and most secluded of Sabi Sabi's lodges offering only six suites, all with private decks overlooking the riverbed and surrounding natural bush. The lodge itself is intimate, centered on an inviting lounge and leading to an elegant outdoor dining area. The pool area is across the riverbed and an outdoor boma is the perfect setting for indulging in the finest safari cuisine.

Each thatched suite is individually styled with a designer bed, draped mosquito nets, genuine African artefacts, wooden finishes and creative use of colors, textures and light. Luxurious en suite bathrooms feature both indoor and outdoor showers, while the new heated spa bath on each secluded deck offers a delightfully decadent vantage point from which to relax and watch the bushveld and abundant wildlife.

After lunch or high tea (time permitting depending on your arrival time) you will depart on your first afternoon game drive in open 4x4 vehicles with a qualified ranger. Dinner will be served at the lodge after the game drive.

Seeing the Big 5 is thrilling, but so too is learning about Mother Nature and her vast ecosystems from a highly qualified guide. Sabi Sabi’s approach is to linger a little longer at sightings and look a bit deeper to appreciate all of nature’s creatures – big and small.

HINWEIS: Activities and meals are subject to your flight time today

Carriage of Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines on internal flights per airline regulations (subject to change as each airline has their own regulations)

1.Portable Oxygen Concentrator (POC) - Guests must obtain a Doctor’s Certificate mentioning their medical condition and the need to carry a POC. Further paperwork may be required by the airline. Please advise RSSC of the specifics at least 14 days before sailing.

2.CPAP Machine NOT being used in flight – please advise RSSC at least 90 days before the program starts if you will bring a CPAP on the internal flight(s) used in this land program. Please supply the make, model and battery type.

3.CPAP Machine to be used during flight – same as above + a doctor’s note is required mentioning the need to use the machine during flight.

*Guests are required to bring with them any details from the manufacturer regarding the CPAP specifications. While most modern CPAP machines are FAA-approved for in-flight use, having a copy of your manufacturer’s FAA-approval status will help to quickly clear any confusion that may arise.

* Failure to provide the above details in a timely manner may result in a denial of this equipment at the airport for which Regent Seven Seas Cruises nor our local ground operator will be responsible for.

*Some hotels do not provide distilled water. While we can certainly request this for you, we cannot guarantee that it will be available. If received in a timely manner, requests will be sent on the final manifest that our ground operators and hotels receive. We highly recommend packing your own supply especially on programs that travel to more remote locations in order to avoid not having it. Please keep in mind the rule for liquids in carry-on bags. Many hotels will charge for distilled water. If there is a fee, this will be added to your hotel incidental account to be paid at check-out. Fees will vary from hotel to hotel.
