Welcome to South Africa and Meet & Greet at the airport. Over coffee, you have a chat about your journey ahead. Also, there is still time to ask questions. Your Meet & Greet (most likely Susi or Anne) will then assist you with the pickup of your rental car. Then you head to the “Mother City” – Cape Town! If there is still time to explore, we recommend visiting the Company. This garden was founded in the 1650s by the first European settlers. They supplied the ships that sailed around the Cape with vegetables and fruits. Alternatively, the colorful Bo-Kaap located at the foot of the Signal Hill is also worth seeing.

Alternatively, and optionally, you can take the cable car up and go for a walk on top of the mountain. In addition, there is also a restaurant high up, which invites you to a cool drink on hot days or after a successful ascent (not included).

No Cape Town trip is complete without exploring the Cape Peninsula. Start your day early today, and drive over Camps Bay and then Hout Bay (at the harbor is a great market not to be missed on Saturdays and Sundays). From Hout Bay you get to the spectacular Chapmans Peak Drive, which winds directly between the sea and steep rock faces for 9 km.
Take the time to stop at one of the many viewpoints and enjoy the breathtaking views of mountains, the Sea, and Hout Bay. Numerous car companies shoot their ads against this backdrop – find out why!

The glamping tents are located in the middle of Cape Fnybos and overlook the green valleys of the Langeberg. The area is suitable for hiking, fishing, swimming on the lake paddling. The abundance of birds on the reserve is worth mentioning. If you want, you can also simply relax by the pool.

On the longest wine route worldwide, Route 62, you will head towards Oudtshoorn – your next glamping adventure. Route 62 is a picturesquely beautiful road that not only boasts scenic features. Make a stop at Ronnie’s sex shop (which is not a sex shop) and treat yourself to a coffee, a soft drink, or a snack. Today, your destination is the Africamps Klein Karoo, which is located on one of the largest ostrich farms in southern Africa. In addition to the approximately 20,000 ostriches, there is a lot of wildlife on the farm, such as zebras, springboks, kudu, eland, and impala.
Although the property is only 10 minutes from the town of Oudtshoorn, you can enjoy your quiet right by a large water dam with views of the Karoo countryside and the Swartberge. Africamps Klein Karoo offers meerkat safaris on their farm. In clear weather conditions, a 45-minute presentation of the starry sky of the southern hemisphere can also be arranged directly from the tent.
