This option is perfect for those who have done a safari before, for those who don’t want to fly during their program and for those who are lovers of all things nature.

DÍA 1

Disembark the ship in Cape Town and travel overland to Sanbona Private Game Reserve. The drive takes approximately 4 hours but the scenery along the way will keep you captivated.

Pass by diverse vegetation and wildlife, lagoons, lakes, mountains and forests. And then once you arrive at Sanbona, prepare to immerse yourself in a landscape where wildlife and flora leave you even more captivated and transformed. Sanbona is one of South Africa’s largest privately-owned nature reserves, stretching across 58 000 hectares of rich protected ecosystems within two biodiversity hotspots.

Owned by a non-profit company focused on steering conservation to the forefront of the safari experience, Sanbona strives to create a balance where critically important ecosystems, endangered wildlife and flora can prosper for the benefit of future generations.

Here you will spend your time exploring every corner of this immense reserve, endless open plains and sculpted Cape fold mountains adorned with San rock art, the endemic flora and some of South Africa’s most sought-after wildlife.

On arrival at Sanbona’s Tilney Manor, enjoy lunch followed by check-in formalities and some time to get acquainted with your surroundings. Enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains and landscape from your open plan suite and your private verandah.

Experienced and knowledgeable guides will accompany you on this journey of discovery and knowledge.

Departing the Cango Caves, travel over Outeniqua Pass and you make your way to the town of Knysna, passing George and Sedgefield en route.

Kwandwe Private Game Reserve:

A world-class Big Five safari destination nestled in the heart of South Africa’s unspoiled Eastern Cape province. The 22,000 hectares of pristine private wilderness stretches along both sides of the Great Fish River which meanders for 18 miles through scenic landscape. Renowned for quality guiding, understated luxury and the thousands of animals and wildlife that call the Reserve home, Kwandwe surely won’t disappoint.

Elegant, intimate and contemporary Great Fish River Lodge boasts plush furnishings and majestic views of the reserve. Perched along the lush green banks of the river, Great Fish River Lodge has been designed to showcase the seemingly endless landscape in which it is set. Expansive viewing decks allow for a fully immersive experience in nature and is the perfect spot to enjoy an African sunset.

There are nine suites each with an en-suite bathroom featuring an outdoor shower as well as indoor bath and shower. Floor-to-ceiling framed glass doors fold back to reveal an uninterrupted wilderness. Relax by your private plunge pool on your thatched terrace with unmatched views over the sweeping landscape.

Nota Especial: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

Program details and the number of game drives are subject to change depending on flight details:

Day 1 - 28 de diciembre de 2023

Disembark the ship and transfer to the Cape Town International Airport for your domestic flight to Port Elizabeth. On arrival at Port Elizabeth Airport, you will transfer approximately 2 hours by road to your safari destination.

Depending on the time of arrival, you may enjoy lunch and then free time at the lodge. In the afternoon, you will gather in the main lodge for tea followed by an open-vehicle game drive. Later, you will return to the lodge for dinner and to spend the evening.

Aviso: Activities and meals on this day are subject to your time of arrival

Day 2 - 29 de diciembre de 2023

You will spend the entire day at Kwandwe Lodge, where two game drives and all meals are included.

Day 3 - 30 de diciembre de 2023

Time permitting (depending on flight details), you may be able to enjoy one additional early morning game drive before breakfast and check-out formalities. (not guaranteed) Transfer back to the Port Elizabeth Airport and depart on a domestic flight to Cape Town. On arrival at Cape Town International Airport, you will be met and transferred to your hotel in Cape Town where the remainder of the day and evening will be at your leisure with dinner on your own.

Aviso: Activities and meals on this day are subject to your flight time

Day 4 – 31 de diciembre de 2023

After breakfast, you are met by a local English-speaking guide for a half day tour of the lovely Cape Town.

Your first stop will be at the ever-popular Table Mountain - the city’s most celebrated landmark. Depart from the quayside 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. Aviso: The ascent by cable car is weather dependent.

Table Mountain gets her 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. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

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.

After a lovely drive through the streets of the Bo-Kaap, experience the pretty colorful houses. On your way back to your hotel, drive through the bustling Cape Town streets, where your guide will point out sights along the way. Stop at The Company Gardens for a short walk through this historic part of Cape Town.

Return to your hotel and enjoy the rest of the afternoon at leisure.

This evening, join the rest of your group for a festive New Year’s Eve dinner at the hotel.

Day 5 - 1 de enero de 2024

Disfrute del desayuno en el hotel. Check out time is 11:00am. You will be transferred to the airport based on your flight schedule. Should you have a late flight, luggage storage will be available at the hotel or alternatively you may wish to purchase an extra night to guarantee a room for the day.

DÍA 4

After breakfast at your hotel and check-out formalities, embark on a half day tour of the city before transferring to the port for embarkation.

Begin with a visit to Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

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 her 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. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

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 the port via a brief city orientation tour of Cape Town passing through Adderley Street and along the Foreshore.

Aviso: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

Observe iconic African wildlife in Aquila Game Reserve, enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and spend another day exploring the city on your own – all immensely fulfilling experiences.

DÍA 1

Disembark in Cape Town and meet your tour guide for a tour and transfer to your hotel. En-route, visit Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

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 her 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. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

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 on arrival (official check-in time is 2:00pm). Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed.

Podrá disfrutar de la tarde libre. Consider a stroll to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where shops, restaurants and entertainment are plenty. El almuerzo y la cena corren por su cuenta.

Aviso: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

DÍA 2

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve or similar. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide. Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch including two local beverages. After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart for a return transfer to Cape Town.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DÍA 3

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (individually made pre-bookings are essential via the Robben Island Ferry website), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, Wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches such as Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

Make sure you are hungry for dinner as this evening you will join the group again for an African themed Farewell Dinner at GOLD Restaurant which includes an immersive 14-dish “taste-safari” and optional inter-active drumming. The tasting menu is designed to be enjoyed in a shared style and throughout the meal you will be learn about the country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing of each dish. (All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegan or vegetarian options). No doubt you will be swept up in the excitement as African stories are told through live entertainment while you dine including singing, puppetry and dancing to the beat of the djembe drums.

Following this lively dinner experience, you will be returned to your hotel.

DÍA 4

Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at your hotel. The official check-out time from the hotel is at 11:00am. If a late check-out is required due to a late outbound flight, one cannot be guaranteed unless your room is booked for another night. Transfers will be arranged according to the flight details provided within 14 days of sailing. The transfer is approximately 30-40 minutes depending on traffic.

Observe iconic African wildlife in Aquila Game Reserve, enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and spend another day exploring the city on your own – all immensely fulfilling experiences.

DAY 1 – 1 de junio de 2025

Upon arrival at the Cape Town International Airport, you will be met outside the Customs and Immigration area and transferred to your city-based hotel. Check-in time is at 2:00pm. Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed. If you are arriving quite early, in order to guarantee a room to be available when you arrive, you will need to book an additional night’s stay.

The remainder of the day is at your leisure. Comidas por su cuenta.

DAY 2 - 2 de junio de 2025

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve or similar. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide. Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch including two local beverages. After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart for a return transfer to Cape Town.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3 – 3 de junio de 2025

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (individually made pre-bookings are essential via the Robben Island Ferry website), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, Wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches such as Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

Make sure you are hungry for dinner as this evening you will join the group again for an African themed Farewell Dinner at GOLD Restaurant which includes an immersive 14-dish “taste-safari” and optional inter-active drumming. The tasting menu is designed to be enjoyed in a shared style and throughout the meal you will be learn about the country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing of each dish. (All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegan or vegetarian options). No doubt you will be swept up in the excitement as African stories are told through live entertainment while you dine including singing, puppetry and dancing to the beat of the djembe drums.

Following this lively dinner experience, you will be returned to your hotel.

DAY 4 – 4 de junio de 2025

After breakfast at your hotel and check-out formalities, embark on a half day tour of the city before transferring to the port for embarkation.

Begin with a visit to Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

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 her 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. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

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 the port via a brief city orientation tour of Cape Town passing through Adderley Street and along the Foreshore.

Aviso: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.
