Vibrant South Africa
B&R’s newest way to travel! This itinerary is one of our new locally-supported, private trips. They use the hallmarks that we’re known for: great hotels, friendly and talented local guides plus memorable experiences but it’s just your group and on the dates that work best for you.*
This independent adventure weaves together the most colourful facets of South Africa: from personable shop-keepers to encounters with marine life and big game; from the peaks of the Table Mountain to the daily struggle in some of its townships below. This eight-day family journey will open up your mind—as well as your eyes.
*Dates subject to hotel availability.
Day 1 Land in historic Cape Town and explore its narrow streets and art galleries
Day 2 Take a cable car up Table Mountain for a scenic view. Later, come face to face with a domesticated cheetah at the Cheetah Outreach Program
Day 3 Visit Simon's Town to try sea kayaking, meet penguins on a private beach and spot right whales off the shore
Day 4 Take a half-day tour with representatives from uThando, a South African charity which focuses on community outreach and social development programs in the Cape Town area
Day 5 Spend the morning in Hermanus: a whaling station that was settled in the 19th century, then enjoy an oenological adventure in the afternoon
