Description

Immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Cape Town on a guided tour that takes you to the iconic Table Mountain, the Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, and the World of Birds. Learn about the city's history and culture as you explore the vibrant neighborhood of Bo-Kaap. Start your day in Bo-Kaap, a historic neighborhood that became a symbol of freedom in 1834 when slavery ended in the Cape Colony. Nestled on the hillside, Bo-Kaap is renowned for its narrow cobbled streets adorned with a delightful array of colorful houses, providing the perfect backdrop for stunning photographs. Next, head to the magnificent Table Mountain, an emblematic symbol of the Cape Peninsula, reaching an altitude of 1,067 meters above sea level. Experience the scenic ascent via the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, which is uniquely designed to rotate 360 degrees during the ride, allowing you to soak in panoramic views of the stunning Cape Town landscape. At the summit, a self-service restaurant awaits, offering an assortment of delicious snacks, meals, and local wines. Take a moment to relax and relish the commanding 360-degree views of the city, flanked by the majestic peaks of Devil's Peak and Lion's Head. The mountain boasts over 1,460 species of fynbos, along with diverse wildlife such as caracals, mongooses, and dassies, and has been a protected area for over a century. Next, venture to the World of Birds, Africa’s largest bird sanctuary and an esteemed bird park globally. Here, you will have the opportunity to encounter over 3,000 birds and animals, including indigenous species such as ostriches, cormorants, pelicans, penguins, and parrots. The sanctuary is committed to fostering a connection between people and wildlife, enhancing respect and appreciation for the diverse splendor of nature. As you stroll through landscaped paths, immerse yourself in the wonders of the aviaries and also visit the Monkey Park, where you can interact closely with 38 playful New World monkeys in a spacious enclosure. Finally, arrive at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, situated on the slopes of Table Mountain and celebrated as one of the finest botanical gardens in the world. This 528-hectare estate hosts over 9,000 species of southern African plants. A major highlight is the stunning Boomslang, a 130-meter-long canopy walkway that gracefully winds its way through the towering trees, offering an elevated perspective of the gardens. Kirstenbosch is a place to breathe and explore the unique Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest yet richest of the world’s six floral kingdoms. Here, you will discover an astounding variety of 6,200 fynbos species that can only be found in this region, thriving solely on the blessings of the ocean breezes rather than needing additional water.
