Why this trip
Anyone who has seen Cape Town once remembers Table Mountain, which rises above the city like a wall. Located between two oceans, the city offers mountain, sea, garden and wine country in a small space, and that makes it a dream destination for very different occasions. In Table Mountain National Park, paths lead up that you can choose according to your fitness. The Cape of Good Hope and the Cape Point Nature Reserve lie at the tip of the peninsula, where wind and waves show that a continent ends here.
The Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden is suited to a quiet afternoon with a view of the slopes of the mountain. May to September is considered a good travel season. As hotels, the Labotessa Luxury Boutique Hotel and the Westin Cape Town come into question. From Cape Town the trip can be extended with Hluhluwe, Sabi Sand or Kruger National Park, if after the waves the savannah should also be part of it.
Once in a Lifetime sorts these stages with care, so that the occasion does not get lost in the changes.
