Days 1-3: Arrival in Cape Town

Here is where it all began! Visit of the historical centre with its Victorian houses, port, and waterfront. Also worth seeing is the Cape Peninsula with its penguins and Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens.

 

Days 4-5: The wine route

Within less than an hour from Cape Town you’ll be in the heart of the winelands! During your tastings, make sure to try a pinotage - South Africa’s very own grape varietal.

 

Mancala’s recommendation: In season (July until end-November), we recommend that you spend at least 1 night in the Hermanus region to see the whales.

 

Day 6-8: Kalahari Desert

Private morning charter to the Kalahari. You will land in the heart of the reserve, followed by a safari to the lodge! Enjoy lots of activities with the lodge: walking safaris, game drives, lunch in the dunes, sleep out…and live a unique experience meeting the meerkats!The Kalahari has the distinction of being a less wooded and hilly landscape than the other reserves in South Africa. This is the largest private reserve in the country with that savannah feeling worthy of Out of Africa!

The Mancala Touch: We can book a private villa for your family as well as organizing horseback safari.
