Itinerary

Khayelitsha

Khayelitsha is the biggest township in Cape town and the second biggest in South Africa after Soweto, Johannesburg. The name means "Our new home" in a local Xhosa language. With an area of 10 square Kilometers, Khaya as it is locally known is home to half a million South Africans and thus making it the most overcrowded township in the country. As is the case with most impoverished townships in South Africa, most of Khayelitsha's residence commutes by minibus taxis or trains to Cape town city everyday to work. Right across the highway opposite Khayelitsha is a multi million dollar filming studios where famous movies such as The Mad max, Bloodshot by Vin diesel and the pirates of the Caribbean where filmed. The pirate ships still stands tall here and are visible from the highway since the franchise is now a series

Stellenbosch Town

Stellenbosch is the second oldest city in South Africa after Cape Town. Situated 45 minutes north east of Cape Town at the foot of the rugged Jonkershoek mountains, the quaint capital city of South African wine is graced by English oaks, national monument buildings, shops, restaurants, museums and African craft markets. Here your guide will give you an opportunity to explore this historical city on foot before you carry on to another winery for your second tasing of the day.

Dorp Street

For historical interest and architectural beauty, few streets in South Africa can rival Dorp street. Once part of the wagon journey from the Stellenbosch Drosty to Cape Town. Dorp street gnarled, stone lined canals of lei water and its thatched whitewashed buildings some with intriguing doorways stretching to the gardens behind, others with graceful gables all combine to create an ambiance of a bygone era. Provincial heritage status plaques can be seen on many buildings.

Uncle Sam's shop

“Oom Samie se winkel” for Uncle Sammy's shop is a Victorian built shop in the heart of Stellenbosch and operating as it did in the Victorian era. One of the oldest shops in Stellenbosch and well known for selling sticky toffee, boiled sweets as well as various South African bric-a-bracs. They also stock rare antiques, books, clothing and traditional South African biltong (jerky). Guest is more than welcome to pop in and have a look.

Tokara

Not many wineries in the world can boast of the same prime location as that Tokara finds itself. A modern built grand estate sitting on the Simonsberg mountain and with beautiful views of the Banhoek valley as well as Table Mountain. Guest will have the pleasure of tasting some of the best reds and white wines in the country and also the olive oil that is grown and produced here at Tokara.

Franschhoek Town

Franschhoek can be loosely translated to French corner. An area which was given to the French Huguenots of the 1680s to grow vineyards. Surrounded by the Drakenstein mountains, when you are in Franschhoek, you could be anywhere in the world. Colonial whitewashed buildings grace the vibrant streets of the food capital city of South Africa. A beehive of shopping, Belgian chocolate tasting and of cause, the best place to have lunch!

Haute Cabriere

Home of the best South Africa's version of Champagne. With the beautiful view of the Franschhoek valley, here you will celebrate the curtain call of your wine tasting experience.

Groot Drakeinstein correctional service

Cape point lighthouse

Walk or take a funicular (at own cost) up to South Africa's 3rd oldest lighthouse for a 360-degree view of the national park. The old lighthouse was launched in 1960 only to be decommissioned 40 years and dozens of shipwrecks too late after studies proved that its high altitude posed a great danger to sailors around the cape as they couldn't be able to see it when it was cloudy. A new lighthouse was then built at a lower altitude.
