day 2 - FULL DAY CITY, ROBBEN ISLAND AND TABLE MOUNTAIN TOUR

After breakfast go for a tour in the city and surrounding area, including the city centre, Company’s Gardens, Cape Town Castle, the Bo Kaap, Signal Hill, and the V&A Waterfront. A big part of this tour is walking around the city with your guide getting to know the city, its different cultures, history, and geography. A highlight of the day is riding to the top of the famous Table Mountain in a cable car, for magnificent views over Table Bay, Robben Island, The Cape Peninsula and Lions Head.

Regarding the Cableway

A concise chronicle of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway's history

Since October 4, 1929, we have been offering a top-tier cable car encounter to visitors ascending Table Mountain. Under the mantle of the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway Company, our operations take place within a National Park and a World Heritage Site. This grants our visitors a distinctive journey while ascending Table Mountain. The mountain's irresistible allure possesses the ability to captivate individuals, urging them to conquer the summit by either trekking or utilizing the cable car. However, the journey to the peak was not always as effortless as it is today.

Enjoy lunch at Pier which is situated in the beautiful Pierhead Building, guests will be welcomed to PIER Restaurant on the first floor, and The Waterside Restaurant on the ground floor – with each offering a different, but equally exceptional, dining experience. Situated away from the hustle and bustle of the Waterfront shopping district, these two restaurants will offer diners an opportunity to escape to the tranquility of waterside dining – with the iconic views that have made this attraction so famous worldwide.

On the upper level, diners will find PIER Restaurant, which will bring an intimate, multi-course fine-dining experience to the one of the world’s most-loved destinations. At the helm will be John Norris-Rogers, who left La Colombe to join the launch team at La Petite Colombe, which, under his guidance, was recently named the second best restaurant in Africa at the recent TripAdvisor Traveller’s Choice ‘Best of the Best’ Awards.

With Norris-Rogers as Head chef, diners can expect the finest local produce to take center stage, with a special emphasis on inspiration from the ocean – and, the tableside theatrics guests have come to expect from the team. Dishes that diners can look forward to oysters poached table side in local MCC or Thai style tuna with furikake or nitrogen poached citrus fruit to cleanse your palate.

Our journey will encompass a leisurely exploration of Cape Point National Park, where you can opt to hike up to the lighthouse on foot or choose the "Flying Dutchman" funicular. From there, we will proceed to the Cape of Good Hope, marking the southwestern extremity of Africa. Our day's itinerary entails a picturesque drive along the charming Atlantic coastal neighborhoods of Clifton and Camps Bay, granting vistas of the Twelve Apostles Mountains. Additionally, we will relish a breathtaking coastal route along Chapman's Peak, providing you with one of the most stunning vistas the region has to offer.

History of Cape Point

Cape Point lies within the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve which forms part of the Cape Floral Kingdom, the smallest of the world’s floral kingdoms and one of the most diverse. The point was named the Cape of Storms by Bartolomeu Dias in 1488, as it was so dangerous to navigate. Frequent violent storms and harsh winds were famous for forcing ships to run aground on the rocky coastline. The area was made safer in 1859, with the addition of a landmark lighthouse, which is now used as a central monitoring point for all other lighthouses on the coast of South Africa.

Boulders Beach is home to a colony of endangered African penguins in Cape Town, so this is your once-in-a-lifetime chance to come within metres of them in a natural environment. The pristine beach surrounded by impressive granite boulders is part of Table Mountain Nature Reserve.

The vicinity boasts numerous dams and a chain of waterholes situated in front of the lodge, attracting a diverse array of species, particularly during the arid winter months when elephants are regular visitors.

Accompanied by skilled and dedicated game rangers and trackers, you'll be immersed in their profound understanding of the natural world, enabling you to discreetly observe creatures both big and small.

From the mist-enveloped bush at dawn to the sun setting behind distant mountains, the enchantment of a Savanna safari promises exceptional photographic opportunities and indelible memories. The Land Rovers have been thoughtfully customized for guest comfort and safety, featuring bucket seats divided by spacious storage compartments. To enhance photographic chances, no more than two individuals are seated in a row, unless requested otherwise by guests. While the vehicles are configured to accommodate seven passengers, they can readily be adjusted for up to 10 if needed.

day 8 - Optional game walks

For those seeking a more intimate connection with the flora and fauna, we offer optional game walks. Led by a ranger and tracker armed for safety, these walks offer captivating insights into the geology and botanical wonders of the region. Trackers hailing from local villages provide a wealth of knowledge about the practical uses of bushveld trees and plants in tribal customs, rituals, herbal remedies, and everyday applications. For example, a stripped twig from one tree can serve as a makeshift toothbrush, while the velvety leaves of another offer nature's softest toilet paper.

Typically conducted around the vicinity of Savanna Lodge, between game drives and meals, these walks can also replace a drive or be seamlessly incorporated into one. The excitement of silently approaching wildlife on foot, encountering smaller creatures up close, and observing the profusion of wildflowers and exquisite butterflies they attract during the summer adds an extra layer of enchantment to the allure of an African safari.

Dining experience

Under the gentle glow of candlelight, guests are treated to enchanting dining experiences at the main lodge. Here, the best of international cuisine is infused with the rich flavors of traditional local dishes, creating a tantalizing culinary journey.

On warm evenings, guests can indulge in lavish barbecues beneath the shimmering stars, either in the open-air 'boma' or in a candlelit clearing amidst the bush. As an added delight, a local choir often serenades diners with their soulful melodies, creating a truly memorable atmosphere.

The culinary offerings are of the utmost quality, with a strong emphasis on both taste and presentation. This exquisite dining experience is complemented by an impressive selection of South African wines from Savanna's meticulously curated wine cellar.
