Day 3
A day of leisure
to explore the fascinating city of
Cape Town.
Cape Town
is a city with a diverse range of attractions, sights and
activities to offer and it has something for everyone. From
the landmark beaches of Clifton
and CampsBay to
the vibrant V&A Waterfront and Cape Town
city centre, the award-winning wine farms of Stellenbosch
and Franschhoek - time spent in
Cape Town will not be forgotten. Cape Town is a
sophisticated city at the gateway to a majestic continent.
The MotherCity is a place where old and new
harmoniously converge – in history, architecture, cultural
pursuits and the essence of its people. The city is
dominated by a towering, table-shaped mountain, set on a
peninsula of soaring, rocky heights and lush valleys, where
two oceans converge- Indian and Atlantic. Natural beauty and
the fast pace and bright lights of a great urban centre meld
effortlessly here. Firmly positioned on the international
map, Cape Town
offers a myriad things to do and places to see, whatever
your tastes, inclinations or budget.
Accommodation:
Protea Hotel Victoria Junction (B)
Day 4
Today you will be
taken on a scheduled seat-in-coach half day
Winelands tour.
While
South Africa's fertile
valleys are world famous for their crisp white and classic
French-style red wines, the Winelands area is also a
treasury of rustic beauty and sprawling estates shaded by
giant oak trees. The backdrop of the
HottentotsHollandMountains, the white gabled CapeDutch homesteads and the oak-lined streets
and lanes all blend in to give this place a charm that will
not be quickly forgotten. See some of the wine estates that
were developed by early settlers who produced the wines
sought after by Napoleon, Bismarck and royalty such as
Edward VII. Stop for a wine-tasting on an estate, where you
will have the opportunity to purchase some of the wines.
Accommodation: Protea Hotel Victoria Junction

Day 5
Spend your last day in Cape Town perhaps
doing some last minute shopping or visiting one of the many
places of interest.
Cape Town is a fabulously diverse and
vibrant city; from its beautiful natural attributes to its
colorful culture, stunning wine farms and captivating
history - it's a tourist heaven. Cape Town offers historic
and cultural sites, world-class museums and bustling
markets, inviting beaches and lush gardens, as well as great
restaurants and wonderful shopping. While South Africa is
perhaps best known for its game parks and natural splendors,
it is also a land whose cities exude urban sophistication,
rich in history, the arts, entertainment and other
cosmopolitan delights.
Accommodation: Protea Hotel Victoria Junction (B)
Day 6
Today you will be transferred from your
hotel to Cape TownAirport in time for your flight to Johannesburg.

twice daily game viewing activities.
Pafuri Camp is a
KrugerPark private safari lodge situated in
the extreme northern sector of KrugerNational Park.
The camp offers lodging in 17 meru style tents, each with a
fan, en-suite bathroom and raised a metre off the ground on
a wooden platform. The tented rooms all look out over the LuvuvhuRiver. The dining and bar area are under a
canopy of majestic Ebony trees. There is a large swimming
pool for guests to relax after foot safaris or mountain
biking. Dinners are served in a traditional style boma under
the stars, on wooden decks overlooking the river or indoors
under thatch. Pafuri Camp has a fully stocked bar with a
good selection of South African wines.
Accommodation: Pafuri Camp
(B, L, D)
Day 7
Enjoy early
morning and late afternoon open vehicle game drives in one
of the few true wilderness areas left in
South Africa.
Pafuri Camp is a Kruger Park private safari lodge
situated between Limpopo and the Luvuvhu Rivers in a 60 acre
area called the Pafuri or the Makuleke. The Makuleke
"Concession" is also know as the "Pafuri Region". To the
north and east lies Mozambique and Zimbabwe. This area is
destined to become the core of the new Transfrontier of
'Peace' Park that will straddle South Africa, Mozambique and
Zimbabwe.
Accommodation: Pafuri Camp
(B, L, D)
Day 8
Large herds of
Elephant and Buffalo are resident most
of the year round. There are resident prides of Lion and the
Luvuvhu Riparian System supports a healthy population of
Leopard. Wild Dog and Cheetah have been sighted hunting the
strong population of Nyala and Impala that live alongside
the Luvuvhu system on the southern boundary. The Luvuvhu
also supports a large population of Hippo and Crocodile. The
Makuleke Concession is probably one of the few places in
KrugerNational Park where you have a good chance of spotting
Eland and Sharpe's Grysbok, and is regarded as probably the
birding hotspot of
South Africa.
One of the most important options
available to guests at Pafuri is the
paleo-anthropological
activities and lectures. This area could become one
of the most important areas in all of
Africa for paleo work. There is plenty of
evidence of early man stretching back some 2 million years
ago right up to about 400 years ago when the Tulamela
dynasty ruled in this area.
Accommodation: Pafuri Camp
(B, L, D)
