Cape Town and Zanzibar: Cape Point meets paradise

Sunglasses, bags, camera, a yearning to explore – you've got everything you need, and you're heading to the airport! As your plane rolls down the runway, you get more and more hyped about what lies ahead. You lean back, snuggle up in your seat and start dreaming of all the adventures that await you in the African wilderness. One thing's for sure: this is gonna be the trip of a lifetime!

Three, two, one, landed! Finally, your feet are on South African soil – thousands of miles away from home. Crazy, right? Now you're off to your accommodation.  First stop: the V&A Waterfront. The harbour district is buzzing with street performers, trendy shops and cafés that serve the perfect flat white. And Cape Town's iconic Table Mountain is always in sight. Your next move? Perhaps a ride on the Cape Wheel (optional, payable on site) for an epic 360° view of the city? Or maybe a detour to the Castle of Good Hope to travel back in time among thick fortress walls and soak in the history. 'Cape Town, let's do this!' 

Throw on your wetsuit, grab your board and paddle out! Cape Town is a true surf mecca. Whether it's your first time on a board or you're already a pro, here, everyone can find their perfect wave (optional, payable on site). After a few runs, head over to one of the beach cafés and treat yourself to a break – coffee tastes twice as good with sand between your toes. Then it's time for the next magical moment. Scoop up some snacks and head for the ultimate sunset spot – Signal Hill! As the sun slowly disappears behind the waterfront and Robben Island, you'll understand exactly why the locals love it here: the view of the city is simply unbeatable! And for the perfect Insta pic? One of the famous yellow Table Mountain frames is located right at the top of the hill and offers an excellent way to outline your pic of Table Mountain. Better get that shot!

It's time to check Cape Town's highlights off your bucket list! Join other adventurers and a guide and explore the must-sees. A little tip: have your camera ready! Admire the colourful houses of Bo Kaap as you stroll through its narrow cobbled streets, make a stop at Maidens Cove and watch seals at the harbour in Hout Bay before being greeted by Cape Town's cutest inhabitants: the adorable African penguins frolicking on Boulder's Beach. You won't be able to get enough of it, and you won't want to take your eyes off them, but the next highlight awaits. Continue to the Cape of Good Hope and buy a ticket for the funicular (optional, payable on site) or walk up the mountain and marvel at the spectacular view from Cape Point. Snap the perfect souvenir photos and then head back to the bus. What a great day!
