Day 1: Cape Town
Guests are met upon arrival at Cape Town International Airport from where a day is spent exploring one the world's most beautiful cities after arriving on your honeymoon vacation.. Table Mountain , arguably the most famous natural landmark in Africa is first on the agenda. From Table Mountain one of the most impressive views of the world can be enjoyed, the Indian Ocean and the deep blue waters of the Atlantic and the Cape Peninsula which sinks away and allows these two great oceans to meet at Cape Point. We also visit the world famous Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, which had its conception when the mining magnate and philanthropist Cecil Rhodes donated the land to the people of South Africa. The garden is home to 4000 of the 18000 species of flora which are found in South Africa and creates a most remarkable display.

This Cape which has had such a central role in the tales and legends of the ocean was and remains an important landmark situated at the South Western Edge of Africa, proclaiming that this is where the two halves of the World, east and west meet.

Oak-lined streets next to water furrows compliment the many fine examples of elegant Cape Dutch , Victorian and Georgian architecture - all part of this unique "Town of Oaks ".
The town, ideally situated in a magnificent mountain valley, boasts a mild Mediterranean climate.

Many of the estates are very old, their gabled, whitewashed Cape Dutch Homesteads, rolling vineyards and shade-dappled grounds lovely beyond measure.
