CAPE TOWN, WHALES, WINERIES AND SAFARI IN KRUGER PARK
11 Days
  • South Africa
  • Cape Town – Cederberg – Vineyard Valley – De Hoop Nature Reserve – Hermanus – Cape Town

This itinerary is designed for those who wish to experience South Africa not only through its iconic landmarks but also through its diverse natural landscapes. Over the course of ten days, you will visit the ancient Cederberg Mountains, the vineyards of Franschhoek, the protected De Hoop coastline, and Hermanus—South Africa’s whale-watching capital.
The program’s highlight is total immersion in nature: hiking through fynbos, wildlife and bird watching, coastal walks, crystal-clear tide pools, stargazing far from city lights, and the chance to spot whales right from the shore (during the season).

You will stay in small lodges and boutique hotels set in unique natural landscapes, where the surroundings themselves become an integral part of the journey. In the Cederberg region, you will encounter dramatic rock formations, ancient San rock art, and one of the richest ecosystems within the Cape Floristic Region. Next is the historic Boschendal wine estate, a place where nature and sustainable farming exist in perfect harmony.
Two days at the De Hoop Nature Reserve offer a true treat for eco-tourism enthusiasts. As one of South Africa’s most beautiful nature parks, it offers the chance to explore marine life and observe rare antelopes, Cape mountain zebras, and a multitude of bird species—as well as whales that come right up to the shore during the season.

This journey is ideal for those who appreciate beautiful landscapes and eco-friendly travel, and who wish to discover a new side of South Africa—exploring its wildlife, protected reserves, and lesser-known yet stunningly beautiful corners.
