Overnight flight to Botswana - Maun, MUP

Arrive in Maun. Thereafter, reception and transfer by air to Stanley's Camp within the Okavango Delta. Once arriving, take some time to relax and take in the surroundings before taking part in an afternoon activity of choice before returning to camp for the evening. Because mammals are the most active during the cool temperatures of the mornings and evenings, the game drives will follow this format as well. Other activities to choose from include mokoro tours (indigenous canoes) and motorboat cruises through the waterways.

Again, today there will be a chance to engage in any of the camp’s activities. This is a great opportunity to explore new parts of the Delta or to track animals that have yet to be seen. Return to camp for a night of relaxing and enjoying dinner and the surroundings in the heart of the Botswanan bush.

Transfer to Chief's Camp via light aircraft. As the only part of the Okavango Delta that has been set aside for the preservation of wildlife, The Moremi Game Reserve is most well known for its frequent sightings of lion, leopard, and cheetah, but most notably for its abundance of wild dogs, whose population is quickly dwindling in most other regions of Africa. Spend the remaining afternoon either relaxing or taking part in a game drive before returning to for the evening.

Awake early to partake in a morning game drive through the Reserve or explore the Xakanaxa Lagoon and the surrounding channels of the Okavango Delta by motorboat, which provides fantastic birding experiences. Return to camp for lunch and some afternoon relaxing by the pool before embarking on an afternoon game drive.

Again, awake early to take part in a morning activity, with lunch and relaxation at camp, before embarking on another afternoon game drive.

Awake early for an air transfer to Maun, to connect with a flight to Cape Town. Upon arrival, airport reception and transfer to the hotel. Spend the rest of the day at leisure.

Today will start with a private city tour. Keep an eye and ear open for seldom seen sights and seldom heard stories about the city’s former inhabitants; previous visitors; beautiful architectural heritage; social, cultural, religious and political history.
Afterwards, make way to the Cable Car Station for a memorable trip to the top of Table Mountain, one of the Natural Wonders of the World. The views of the city, coastline and Cape Peninsula are in a word: breathtaking. Then return to the hotel and enjoy the remainder of the day at leisure.

After breakfast embark on a full day, private tour of the Cape Peninsula that showcases some of Cape Town’s best scenery and attractions. Stop at the Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens. Situated on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain, these beautiful gardens are home to over 6000 species of plants. Then travel on to visit the Jackass Penguin Colony at Boulders Bay and perhaps have a swim on the beach next door. After a stop for lunch overlooking False Bay, move on to Cape Point, which is the south westernmost point of Africa and one of the most dangerous points to sail around in the world. On the way back can look for wildlife while traveling through Cape Point National Park, before going round Chapman’s Peak Drive and back to the hotel for an evening at leisure. ...read less

Heading north to Paarl, the first stop this morning is at Anura Wine Estate for a cheese and wine tasting. Then the tour makes its way to Franschhoek, with a photo stop en route, at the Groot Drakenstein Prison where Nelson Mandela was released in Feb 1990. The village of Franschhoek nestled amongst the mountains, can easily be mistaken as being in Switzerland. After a short tour of the little town, a second wine tasting will take place in Franschhoek, followed by a lunch stop (optional – own account), and maybe a chance to try some of the fresh trout that Franschhoek is known for. After lunch the tour continues over the Hells Hoogte Mountain Pass to Stellenbosch. It is easy to understand why Simon van der Stel decided to settle a village amongst the mountains. The backdrop of the Hottentots Holland Mountains, the white gabled Cape Dutch homesteads and the oak lined streets and lanes all blend in to give this place a charm that will not be forgotten. Time permitting; there will be a third wine tasting. Return to Cape Town with amazing photos and fond memories. ...read less

Private overland from Cape Town to Oudtshoorn

After arriving in Oudtshoorn, embark on a tour of the Cango Caves. The Cango Caves are located at the foothills of the Swartberg range near the town of Oudtshoorn, in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The principal cave is one of the country's finest, best known, and most popular tourist caves. Although the extensive system of tunnels and chambers go on for over four kilometres, only about a quarter of this is open to visitors, who may proceed into the cave only in groups supervised by a guide.

After the tour concludes, enjoy a meal at the Cango Cave Restaurant. Recently accredited by the Klein Karoo International as a 'Blue Ostrich Restaurant' - and commanding dramatic views of the breathtaking Cango Valley - the Cango Caves Restaurant offers quality service and excellent, freshly-prepared meals which highlight the distinctive flavours of the Little Karoo.

Tour this working farm with its large flocks of ostriches. Professional, multi-lingual guides will explain the different facets of ostrich farming – and tell stories of the Victorian-era Ostrich Boom, when ostrich feathers were one of South Africa's most important export products. Get close to the birds, too – maybe even try sitting on one. The tours end with our famous ostrich races, with the birds ridden by local jockeys.

The restaurant serves set menu (table d'hote) meals - which include superior quality ostrich filet – the Coffee Shop serves light meals, and the gift shop specialises in ostrich leather and ostrich feather products.

The Crags, Plettenberg Bay, has African elephants and offers an interactive elephant experience, elephant back riding and overnight accommodation. They offer hands-on educational elephant interactions. This provides guests with a far more intimate experience with the elephants. The dedicated staff are committed to the use of positive reinforcement elephant training methods and as a result they have relaxed elephants that enjoy interacting with guests.

Next, begin the Full Elephant Introduction in Forest. Touching and interacting with Elephants. Walking hand-in-trunk with Elephants. Feeding (Limited Elephant Food included). Includes Elephant Back Riding. The opportunity to purchase a DVD of the experience with the Elephants (Excludes Cost of DVD).

After the elephant interaction concludes, move on to the Birds of Eden Day Tour. In 2010 the species count at Birds of Eden is just touching 220. The bird inhabitants of the aviary comprise a mixture of exotic as well African birds. They also include previously caged pets and hand reared and imprinted individuals, this explains why some of our inhabitants (especially the parrots of which we have 60 different species) are unafraid of human beings and seemingly tame. All new arrivals at Birds of Eden go through a process of rehabilitation before they enter the actual sanctuary of the main aviary. Be they ex pets, or birds confiscated from zoos or irreputable breeders, most of the birds that arrive at Birds of Eden have a history of being caged in small environments.

This area is full of thriving animal sanctuaries. Finally, leave Birds of Eden and depart for Monkeyland, where wou will be touring. Monkeyland is the world's first free-roaming multi-species primate sanctuary (located in The Crags, near Plettenberg Bay). We offers tours (we call them monkey safaris) during which more than 550 primates comprising of capuchin monkeys, ringtail and black-and-white ruffed lemurs, saki monkeys, squirrel monkeys, vervet monkeys, 2 species of langur, howler monkeys, gibbons, etc will be seen in their forest home. Then, experience the 128-metre suspended canopy walk whilst on tour. There's also a restaurant, souvenir store, and viewing deck. Safari guides are multi-lingual.
