This is a slower rhythm of the Cape that invites you to pause and take it all in.

Your guide will collect you in the morning for a journey that starts on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain at Kirstenbosch National Botanical Gardens. Here, you’ll wander shaded paths lined with fynbos and giant cycads, follow the Boomslang Canopy Walkway, and enjoy a gourmet coffee and pastry or classic South African rusk in a secluded spot beneath the canopy.

Next, it’s on to Kalk Bay, a quirky fishing village featuring vintage bookshops and cold water dips, galleries beside surf stores, and the scent of the ocean wherever you roam. You’ll explore the town’s tucked-away charm before sitting down to lunch at a laid-back local favourite.

In the afternoon, you’ll make your way to Boulders Beach, where a colony of endangered African penguins waddle between ancient granite boulders and turquoise waters. Skip the queue at the entrance and settle into a quiet spot for a closer look.
