Observe iconic African wildlife at Aquila Game Reserve, enjoy breathtaking views of Cape Town from atop Table Mountain and spend another day exploring the city on your own – all immensely fulfilling experiences.

DAY 1

Disembark in Cape Town and meet your guide for a tour and transfer to your hotel. En-route, visit Table Mountain, the city’s most celebrated landmark!

Travel up Kloof Nek, the saddle between Table Mountain and Lions Head, to the lower cableway station. Ascend from the Valley Station (363 m) to the Mountain Station (1 060 m) in a Swiss engineered Rotair cable car. The journey from the base to the summit takes just under 4 minutes and one can enjoy spectacular views, as the floor of the car rotates 360 degrees during the ascent and descent.

Table Mountain gets her name from the flat-topped central massif of the mountain, which, viewed from the city, is surrounded by Devil’s Peak on the left, Lion’s Head on the right and Signal Hill in the foreground. They form a sort of amphitheater that encloses the city center and some of the older suburbs. Other earlier suburbs are on either side of the chain of mountains, which run like a spine through the Cape Peninsula, from Table Mountain to Cape Point – the cape from which Cape Town gets its name.

From the summit, the natural protected area stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point has been managed under the custodianship of the National Parks Board. This area has one of the highest concentrations of endemic plant and animal species in any area of its size, containing a staggering 2 285 plant species – more than the entire U.K.

Upon descent, re-board your vehicle and transfer to your hotel. Check-in on arrival (official check-in time is 2:00pm). Although every effort will be made to have rooms available before this time this cannot be guaranteed.

Spend the afternoon at leisure. Consider a stroll to the Victoria & Alfred Waterfront where shops, restaurants and entertainment are plenty. Lunch and dinner are on your own.

Note: the cable car ride to the top of Table Mountain is weather dependent. If not possible due to high winds a stop will be made at a viewing area near the cable car base for photos.

DAY 2

Following an early breakfast at your hotel, depart on a 2.5-hour road transfer to Aquila Game Reserve. Enjoy a welcome drink on arrival, followed by a 4 x 4 game drive, with an experienced nature guide. Thereafter, sit down to a delicious buffet lunch. After some free time to browse through the well-stocked curio shop, depart for a return transfer to Cape Town.

The remainder of the day will be at your leisure and dinner is on your own.

DAY 3

Spend today at leisure, exploring the beautiful ‘Mother City’ at your own pace. Consider a ferry trip to Robben Island (individually made pre-bookings are essential via the Robben Island Ferry website), an open Red Top bus trip to numerous destinations, a hike up Lion’s Head, Wine tasting in the Winelands, or simply visiting numerous attractive beaches such as Camps Bay, Blouberg Beach or similar.

Make sure you are hungry for dinner as this evening you will join the group again for an African themed Farewell Dinner at GOLD Restaurant which includes an immersive 14-dish “taste-safari” and optional inter-active drumming. The tasting menu is designed to be enjoyed in a shared style and throughout the meal you will be learn about the country of origin, cooking techniques and spicing of each dish. (All meat, poultry and fish dishes come with vegan or vegetarian options). No doubt you will be swept up in the excitement as African stories are told through live entertainment while you dine including singing, puppetry and dancing to the beat of the djembe drums.

Note: should you have any special dietary requests or needs, please advise RSSC no later than 90 days prior to your sailing so that vendors can be advised in advance of your arrival.

Following this lively dinner experience, you will be returned to your hotel.

Through the centuries Muratie, one of the oldest wine estates in South Africa, had several other colourful owners and is currently under the stewardship of the Melck family, who are deeply rooted here.

This thatched lodge with its unique safari suites and signature stone-capped roof tops, offers all the comforts of a luxury lodge. The view from the safari suites and lounge area is of the waterhole where monkeys come to play and antelope and zebra to quench their thirst.

On arrival at Amakhala’s Bukela Lodge, check in and enjoy lunch before heading out on a sunset safari.

A game drive through Amakhala Game Reserve will leave you mesmerized by the diverse vegetation and spectacular scenery which abounds there: sunlit grassy savannah plains, a mosaic of Valley Bushveld plants, the gently dappled light of the sand forest, the many watering holes and the wide spellbinding Bushman’s River.

Game drives are conducted in 4-wheel drive open vehicles and after dark spotlights are used, giving you the opportunity to view nocturnal creatures and carnivores on the hunt. Sundowners and light snacks will also be served in a clearing in the bush during sunset game drives.

DAY 2 - June 9, 2026

The integration of South Africa's best climate and rich bush land has made Thanda Private Game Reserve a top award-winning safari destination in South Africa and with multiple game drive opportunities, this fully inclusive program promises to be an unforgettable experience!

Special Note: Any guests travelling with Portable Oxygen Concentrators (POC) or CPAP breathing machines should read further below for airline stipulations with regards to bringing this equipment on tour.

DAY 1 – June 6, 2026

Disembark the ship in Durban, meet your travel escort and drive approximately 4-4.5 hours to the Thanda Private Game Reserve. Eat a hearty breakfast on board before you go but a snack pack will also be provided for the drive.

After checking in at the lodge, you will have time to settle into your accommodations before lunch.

Thanda Safari Lodge is the flagship property at Thanda Private Game Reserve. Each of the 9 bush suites is a tribute to African abundance, with a spacious lounge, majestic master bedroom, double-sided fireplace, and an indulgent bathroom, with a beautiful bath, and an indoor and outdoor shower. The lodge’s shared areas are sumptuously African, including an inviting lounge, expansive deck and library overlooking a waterhole, cigar bar, wine cellar and the Thanda Safari Spa.

After lunch depart on an afternoon game drive. This is one of the prime times to view wildlife, as it’s cooler and the animals are more active. While there is no telling what you will observe, the reserve is home to countless animals, including the Big Five: elephant, lion, leopard, rhinoceros, and Cape buffalo. Herds of elephants are often seen, while white rhinoceroses are usually found grazing on the grassland.

Following the game drive, sundowners and light snacks will be served at a clearing in the bush, where you might see nocturnal wildlife. In time, you will return to the lodge for dinner and to spend the evening.

DAY 2 – June 7, 2026

Begin with an early-morning wakeup call, followed by tea, coffee, and biscuits in the lounge. This too is an ideal time for wildlife viewing.

Following your game drive, you will return to the lodge for breakfast, followed by leisure time throughout the day to perhaps take a nap or relax in the main lounge area with your fellow travellers.

After lunch there will be some more free time – consider time around the pool, quite time in your suite, a spa treatment or discuss optional tours with the lodge staff - the lodge also offers activities which may incur additional cost such as bush walks, rhino and cheetah tracking, a hippo and croc cruise and visiting local homesteads or villages. These activities can be reserved once you are on site.

Following an evening game drive, sundowners and light snacks will be served at a clearing in the bush, where you might see nocturnal wildlife. In time, you will return to the lodge for dinner and to spend the evening.

DAY 3 – June 8, 2026
