Select participants and date
You step off the plane into a crisp Atlantic breeze and within an hour you’re winding past Table Bay toward the basalt flank of Table Mountain — a flat-topped giant that watches the city from 1,067 meters above sea level. The first day of this private three-day loop moves with that same easy authority: ferried in an air‑conditioned vehicle, you’ll rise on the cable car for the 360° panorama, stroll the Company’s Garden and taste the patchwork neighborhoods of Bo‑Kaap, all before the sun slips behind Lion’s Head.

Adventure Tips
Book Table Mountain early
Morning cable car windows are calmer and visibility is usually better; reserve early slots to avoid afternoon winds and crowds.
Respect wildlife rules
At Boulders and Cape Point stay on boardwalks and don't feed animals — baboons and penguins can be unpredictable.
Layer for coastal weather
Bring a windproof layer and a light fleece — temperatures can drop quickly near the ocean even on sunny days.
Hydrate and pace wine tastings
Wine sampling includes multiple pours; alternate with water and plan a light meal to avoid overindulgence.

History
The route weaves Dutch and Huguenot colonial history (Stellenbosch and Franschhoek) with maritime exploration sites — Groote Schuur nearby marks the site of the first heart transplant era, and the Cape’s lighthouses date to the early 19th century.
Conservation
The Cape Floristic Region is a globally unique biodiversity hotspot; follow boardwalks and park rules to protect fragile fynbos and nesting sites, and choose wineries that practice sustainable viticulture where possible.
