activities to offer and it has something for everyone. From
the landmark beaches of Clifton
and Camps
Bay
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 Mother
City
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
HottentotsHolland
Mountains, 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 (B)
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

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

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.

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
