After a delicious and hearty breakfast you will meet your guide for excursions in and around Cape Town. Table Mountain, the symbol of the city, will be the starting point of your excursion. You will go up to the mountain in the cable car (payment is made on the spot, for whether it operates depends on the weather) and from the top you will have a bird’s eye view of this unforgettable city. After that you will visit the Cape Town Castle of Good Hope, which was the first stone structure on the peninsula, and from there you will see the Grand Parade, dominated by the Town Hall building. Continuing the journey, you will visit the Company’s Gardens built at the time of Jan van Riebeeck, founder of Cape Town. You can buy peanuts to feed the squirrels, who will eat from your hand. Next to the Gardens you will see St. George’s church, famous for having the largest stained-glass windows in the Southern hemisphere. Nearby are also the Houses of Parliament and the National Gallery of art. A tour of a jewelry factory will help you understand the process of cutting of precious stones and you can touch diamonds of various sizes and learn useful information about jewelry. If you like, you can purchase jewelry at factory prices direct from the manufacturer.

Today you will relive the days of the discoverers and of the colonial conquests and you will spend the day on Cape of Good Hope, which you have heard about in school. In 1488 Portuguese navigator Bartolomeu Dias landed on the Cape and called it the Cape of Storms, because he had survived a terrible storm that nearly cost him and his crew their lives. Portuguese King João II, having great expectations for a new Eastern sea route, renamed it the Cape of Good Hope. Here tourists often look forward to seeing large families of baboons. These animals are very cute, but be careful not to feed them, for you might get hurt when they fight for their food. After passing the entrance gate your bus will follow a level road and then drive down to the famous promontory. Here you can make a souvenir photo against a panel that has the coordinates of the Cape of Good Hope. Then you can climb to the highest point of the Cape Peninsula, where you will enjoy the extraordinary beauty of the ocean and the bay. We now say goodbye to the Cape and we are on our way back. The road runs along the coast of False Bay and goes through the small town of Simon’s Town, near which the largest South African naval base and Boulders Beach are situated. On that beach you will meet the famous Cape penguins. Long ago, these wonderful animals chose this beach for hatching their offspring and now they live there year-round, delighting local and foreign tourists. You will stop for lunch (at your own expense) at a restaurant well known for its seafood recipes. Return to the hotel around 17h00-18h00.

Relax and leisure in Cape Town. You can plan this day for additional excursion with the guide from Alpha-Zulu Africa. Option are as follows:

• Tour of the "wine route" You have surely heard about South African wines, which are produced according to old French recipes. You will be given an opportunity to visit several farms and to familiarize yourselves with the technology and the history of wine, and then you can taste a variety of wines. Lunch at one of the farms.
• White shark dives, one of the main attractions in South Africa, because there are only two places on the globe with the opportunity to dive with these dangerous predators. One of them is in Gansbaai (2-hour drive from Cape Town).
• It is also possible to plan for a day of shopping. Your guide will bring all the instructions.

And so you end your visit to the beautiful city of Cape Town, a city included in the top ten most visited cities in the world. A representative of the company will say a cordial goodbye and you will be transferred to the airport. You have a two-hour flight to Durban, the third largest city in South Africa, located directly on the shore of the Indian Ocean. You will now enjoy a tour where you will feel the unique atmosphere of this wonderful southern city. You will visit the ninth largest port in the world, take a ride in a rickshaw along the coast of the "Golden Mile", compare the old and new architecture of the city, as well as visit the Indian market, where locals are buying all sorts of potions prescribed to them by their famous Zulus sorcerers, the ”sangomas". In addition, this market is known for its low prices on jewelry and souvenirs. Remember! At the Indian Market you must haggle about prices. Your hotel is on the shore of the warm Indian Ocean.

Relax and leisure on the coast of the warm Indian Ocean. Durban is becoming extremely popular among tourists from all over the world. Ballito and Umhlanga are famous resorts on the East Coast. Whenever you go, any time of year here, the warm air and the evergreen subtropical landscapes will make you want to return here again and again.

On the way, visit a famous ceramic workshop, and lunch at a German restaurant where the owner himself prepares real traditional German sausages with fried potatoes and warm sauerkraut.

Relax and leisure in the warm Indian Ocean.

Unfortunately it is time to say goodbye to the warm Indian Ocean. Your guide from Alpha-Zulu Africa will escort you to the oldest national park in Africa and the second oldest in the world, Hluhluwe - Umfalozi National Park. It is in this park that the white rhino was saved from extinction as a species. On its open spaces among the African bush, amidst dense thickets of acacia trees and shrubs, are found almost all the representatives of diverse African fauna. The guide will help you find your accommodation and say goodbye to you. After lunch, you will travel in a specially equipped car for a safari in the African bush in search of the African Big Five (elephant, rhino, buffalo, lion, and leopard). Do not forget to prepare your cameras! A well-trained professional ranger will help you locate the animals and drive as close as possible to them.

The day begins with an unforgettable morning safari in the park. After going on safari you will go back to the lodge for breakfast. After a delicious and hearty African breakfast you will have new strength for supplementary activities, which can be ordered at the booking stage.

The choice depends on the season:

• During the period from November to January you can observe large Loggerhead turtles when they hatch their offspring.
• All year round you can visit the St. Lucia ecological system, protected by UNESCO, where large numbers of hippos and crocodiles live in natural conditions.
• From October to May, admire the unique beauty of the beaches of Cape Vidal, with their high sand dunes covered with pines and the beautiful bays of the Indian Ocean, where water has an marvelous azure color.
• You can visit a rehabilitation center for “cats”, where you can see a variety of animals that are rarely seen on safari, as those predators prefer daytime sleep and hunt at night.

This is the last day of your African trip. A comfortable car will drive you to the airport where you will take an intercontinental airliner that will bring you home.

Until we meet again in Africa, dear friends!
