Day 2. Cape of Good Hope and Seal Colony
Cape of Good Hope! The End of the Earth! There is no point in telling long stories about this place of power; it must be experienced! This place takes your breath away, where the might of two oceans touches a piece of land. We will walk through the national park and meet baboons, ostriches, visit Boulders Beach where penguins live, and Hout Bay where seals reside. You will see all the animals in their natural habitat, at arm's length, without fences or barriers. Then we will drive along one of the most beautiful roads in the world, Chapman's Drive. I assure you, you will love it.

Day 3. Table Mountain
Table Mountain, the Malay Quarter "Bo-Kaap" - the calling card of Cape Town, the Historical Center, the Botanical Garden "Kirstenbosch", the Diamond Museum, a helicopter flight. Table Mountain is listed by UNESCO. Not everyone knows that the mountain is over 260 million years old. Table Mountain is older than the Andes, the Alps, and the Himalayas. Many consider it a place of power. To understand why, we will conquer the summit, where we will be greeted with stunning views of all of Cape Town. We will stroll and ride through the old city, visit the colorful houses of Bo-Kaap, visit the Diamond Museum, as South Africa is considered the largest producer of diamonds in the world, fly over Cape Town by helicopter, and walk through the beautiful botanical garden. Dinner. Return to the hotel.

Day 4. Wine Farms
"Wine is a hug in a glass," say local winemakers. 350 years ago, Europeans brought grapevines to these lands on small ships and spent much labor, faith, and energy to ensure the plants took root and yielded the first harvest. Incredible physical and mental efforts were used to breed new grape varieties and produce wine. South African wines are the result of human faith, perseverance, patience, and love, intertwined with the energies of the sun, wind, and earth. We will tour the best wineries of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, taste the finest wines, and stay overnight in the fairy-tale town of Stellenbosch.

Day 5. Whales
Hermanus Whale Bay is one of the best places in the world for whale watching. About 1.5 hours' drive from Stellenbosch, this small town is where whales come from September to December to play and mate. This is where we will go. After receiving instructions and a brief history, we will board a small yacht and sail to meet these wonderful giants. You will see a whale, and possibly a mother with her calf, at arm's length. Whales are highly intelligent animals and are very sensitive to energy; when a whale allows a boat to approach, it means it fully trusts the crew. Departure to Hermanus, a yacht trip to the whale bay, free time, and an overnight stay in Hermanus.

The beaches of South Africa are stunning in their beauty and diversity; however, Wilderness Beach is recognized as the most beautiful in South Africa. On the way, we will visit another iconic place, Cape Agulhas—the southernmost point of the African continent. Overnight in a luxury villa.

Day 7. African Safari + Mossel Bay + Journey to the Cradle of Humankind0
African Safari - we will see the Big Five, which includes Lion, Rhino, Elephant, Buffalo, and Cheetah, as well as many other animals that live in Africa. We will drive through the park with a local ranger in a specially equipped vehicle; this time, we will be guests in the wild.
The town of Mossel Bay is known for the recent discovery that humanity originated in the caves of Mossel Bay. There was an abundance of shellfish here, and according to scientists, such a diet led to the development of the prefrontal cortex, allowing humans to start speaking. While we won't make any definitive claims, we must visit this place. We will visit the museum, which houses a full-size replica of the ship on which Bartolomeu Dias landed on the shores of Mossel Bay in 1491 after rounding the Cape of Good Hope. For those interested, you can ride the longest Zip-Line over the ocean (not included in the tour price). The warm waters of Mossel Bay are home to many great white sharks. For thrill-seekers, another extreme experience is descending in a cage to the great white shark. Not everyone dares, but those who overcome their fear will have an unforgettable encounter with the most formidable predator of the oceans (shark cage diving is optional and for an additional cost). Return to the villa for a barbecue, known locally as BRAAI.
