SUGGESTED ITINERARY


Day 1 - UK to Cape Town

Fly from London to Cape Town, arriving next day.


Day 2 - Cape Town

On arrival you'll be transferred to to your chosen hotel, for a three night stay - we have a wide selection of hotels to choose from in Cape Town, and your duration here is flexible.


We generally don’t suggest you have a car in Cape Town as the traffic can get a little busy, parking can be tricky and most things are easy to get to. If you’d prefer to collect a car when you arrive and have it for your full duration, however, just let us know and we can arrange this for you!


Days 3-4 - Cape Town

Spend the next few days exploring Cape Town, one of our favourite cities. We highly recommend taking the cable car up Table Mountain for incredible views of the city, but as the summit is often covered by the cloud our top tip is to head up the moment it’s clear.


Day 5 - Cape Town to the Winelands

Collect your car from the Cape Town depot - costs include a Toyota Corolla or similar, although there’s a good selection of options available. Leave Cape Town behind and drive to the Winelands - the direct drive can be done in an hour or so, but we’d really recommend travelling via the beautiful Cape Peninsula, setting off via the spectacular Chapman’s Peak Drive and taking in Hout Bay, the Cape of Good Hope and the penguins at Boulder Beach - this should take around three hours, plus stops. On arrival, check in to your chosen hotel for a three night stay - this is flexible, of course!


Driving is fairly straightforward in South Africa, with well maintained roads which are generally fairly quiet outside of the main towns. Driving is on the left and most laws and customs are familiar to UK drivers. Do bear in mind that all drivers will need a valid drivers licence plus the DVLA online code and printout, along with a credit card in the name of the main driver for deposit purposes. Other T&C’s apply - just ask for details!


Days 6-7 - Winelands

Our favourite way to experience the Wineland’s is aboard the Wine Tram, Franschhoek’s hop-on hop-off wine tasting transport! The tram (and a series of buses) take you to numerous wineries throughout the Franschhoek area, with departures to the next winery every half hour or so. An amazing way to spend a day!


Day 8 - Return

Drive back to Cape Town airport (around an hour), drop off your vehicle and check in for your flight back to the UK.
