Cape Town
Three ways to build a Cape Town safari
Most visitors treat Cape Town as a destination in its own right, then add a safari. There are three routes our safari specialists recommend.
City break plus a Big Five add-on. Spend four or five nights in Cape Town, then drive under three hours to a malaria-free reserve such as Sanbona or Aquila for two nights of Big Five game drives. Stays from ZAR 2,950 per person sharing.
Cape Town plus a fly-in safari. Pair four nights at the coast with a direct flight to the Sabi Sand or greater Kruger for three or four nights of world-class game viewing. A seven-night itinerary starts from roughly ZAR 55,000 per person.
Cape Town, Winelands and Garden Route self-drive. Take the scenic N2 through Hermanus, Franschhoek and the Overberg, ending at a private reserve on the Garden Route. Ten nights from approximately ZAR 45,000 per person.
- How many days do I need in Cape Town?
- Four to five nights in the city covers Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, a Winelands day trip and time at the beach. Add two nights if you want a Big Five excursion to Sanbona Wildlife Reserve, or extend to seven nights to include the Winelands as a separate stay.
- Can I see the Big Five near Cape Town?
- Yes. Sanbona Wildlife Reserve is under three hours' drive and offers Big Five game viewing in a malaria-free setting. Gondwana Game Reserve on the Garden Route is another excellent option. Alternatively, a two-hour flight connects Cape Town to the Kruger or the Sabi Sand for a classic bush safari.
- When is the best time to visit Cape Town?
- December to March for beach weather and outdoor dining, June to November for whale watching off Hermanus and the southern coast. March to May is a sweet spot with warm days, gentle winds and thinner crowds.
- Where should I stay for a first visit?
- The V&A Waterfront puts restaurants, the Two Oceans Aquarium and Robben Island ferries within walking distance. Camps Bay is best for beach lovers, and the City Bowl suits foodies. Our safari specialists can match you to the right neighbourhood based on your itinerary.
- Is Cape Town safe for visitors?
- Cape Town is one of Africa's most visited cities. Stick to well-travelled areas, use hotel-arranged transport after dark, and take the same precautions you would in any major city. Our safari specialists can advise on neighbourhoods and transfers.
- How do I combine Cape Town with a safari?
- The most popular pairing is Cape Town plus a fly-in to the Sabi Sand or Kruger. For a self-drive option, follow the Garden Route east to a private reserve such as Gondwana or Shamwari. We handle flights, transfers and timing so the two halves of your trip connect seamlessly. Get in touch and we will respond in as little as 15 minutes during working hours.

High summer: beaches and long light
Best time to visit
The Cape year.
Cape Town runs opposite to the bushveld: summer is the show, winter is green, moody and full of whales.
Cape Town
Your guide to Cape Town.
Getting there
Cape Town International Airport receives direct flights from Johannesburg (two hours), Durban, and several European and Middle Eastern hubs. Most hotels in the V&A Waterfront and Atlantic Seaboard are 20 to 30 minutes from the terminal. Private transfers and rental cars are easily arranged through our safari specialists.
When to go
Cape Town is a year-round destination. Summer (December to February) brings long beach days and the famous south-easterly "Cape Doctor" wind. Autumn (March to May) is calmer and warm, with spectacular sunsets and quieter attractions. Winter (June to August) brings occasional rain but also whale watching along the coast from Hermanus to False Bay. Spring (September to November) delivers mild temperatures, wildflower blooms on the West Coast, and continued whale sightings.
Where to stay in Cape Town
V&A Waterfront. The harbour precinct suits first-time visitors who want restaurants, shops and Robben Island ferries on the doorstep. Hotels here range from the Victoria & Alfred to the Cape Grace and One&Only.
Atlantic Seaboard. Camps Bay, Bantry Bay and Clifton face the ocean with sunset views of the Twelve Apostles. This is the address for beach glamour, from boutique options such as POD to the landmark Twelve Apostles Hotel and Spa.
City Bowl and Gardens. A walkable neighbourhood packed with independent restaurants and galleries. The Mount Nelson and Kensington Place sit here, offering excellent value relative to the Waterfront.
Winelands and beyond. Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Constantia are 30 to 60 minutes from the city centre, ideal for a two-night wine-country extension. Further afield, Bushmans Kloof in the Cederberg offers a wilderness retreat roughly three hours north.
