A Week in Cape Town
Four or five days with Andre across your week, built from the same days and put in the right order, with the rest left to yourselves on purpose. Your airport arrival and departure are included.
How the Days Run
A suggested order. Andre moves it around the weather and around you, which is most of what you are paying for.
Your arrival, included
Andre at arrivals with your name, your flight followed, and straight to your hotel. No touring on the day you land. Why not
A full day along the Cape Peninsula. Chapman's Peak, Cape Point, and the Boulders Beach penguins. Halal lunch, no wine. Tell us when you book.
A full day through Stellenbosch and Franschhoek. Wine estates paired with olive farms, cheese makers, and chocolate. Child-friendly estates available for family bookings.
Western Cape safari
A morning on a Big Five reserve about two hours from Cape Town: out early, game drives with the reserve's own ranger, then lunch there. Children of any age can join the drives, and there is a junior ranger programme for them.
Table Mountain cable car, Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and the Atlantic coastline lookouts. Halal lunch, no wine. Tell us when you book.
Hermanus & the Whale Coast June to November
Southern Right Whales metres from shore, paired with the Hemel-en-Aarde wine valley. Halal lunch, no wine. Tell us when you book.
Your departure, included
To the airport for your flight home, or on to Kruger.

The Safari Day
A morning on a Big Five reserve about two hours from Cape Town: out early, game drives with the reserve's own ranger, then lunch there. Children of any age can join the drives, and there is a junior ranger programme for them.
The reserve's fee for the game drive and lunch is paid to the reserve; we confirm the current rate when we plan your days. For an overnight stay further into the Karoo, ask us about Sanbona.
Why the Order Matters
The first full day the gentlest, because everyone is still on another clock.
The Peninsula on a clear day, because Cape Point in cloud is a different day.
Hermanus on the calmest, clearest morning of the week, when the whales are easiest to see.
The safari not on the morning after a late night: the drive out starts early.
The Winelands not on the day before a long flight.
A family booking separate tours from separate operators cannot do this. One person planning all of your days can.
The Days to Yourselves
A family needs a day to do nothing, and a day for the things that need no driver: Robben Island from the Waterfront, the beach at Camps Bay or Muizenberg, the aquarium. We leave those days free on purpose and tell you how to do them.
Start in Cape Town, Then Fly to the Safari
Family itineraries that include both usually start here and fly on. We plan your Cape Town days around the flight, and the departure transfer takes you to it.
We can recommend Kruger lodges we trust. We take no commission on them, so the recommendation is only ever about the lodge.
Build Your Week
