7-DAY WINELANDS

Hereunder follows examples of some of the itineraries that we can offer – again a reminder that we will tailor-make any tour to suit you, whether it is fully guided, partially guided, a self-drive or just staying at one of the many golfing estates, we will do it all for you. These below are just a sample of what can be done and to give you some idea of what’s on offer and possible. Remember, these are just examples, we will tailor make any tour to suit you.

Tour Example: 7-Day Winelands

Day 1
Arrive at Cape Town International Airport where you'll be welcomed by a Far & Wild Safaris guide. You will be taken on an orientation tour of this Mother City before checking into your accommodation in the Winelands Region. Accommodation here varies and there is a magnificent choice of accommodation to suit your requirements.

Day 2
Play Stellenbosch, De Zalze, Erinvale or Pearl Valley Courses.
After the golf we explore the student town of Stellenbosch. We will visit Spier Village where you have access, within easy walking distance, to a Wine Centre, a seasonal open-air theatre, swimming pools, a spa, children’s activities, craft exhibitions, wildlife encounters, horse riding – and yet still be in the heart of the Winelands.

Day 3
Today we embark on a full day wine tasting tour of the Winelands. We will visit any number of wine estates such as time allows in this beautiful area of the Winelands. (You may also opt to spend the remainder of the time at Cape Town’s Waterfront, Hout Bay for a boat cruise to view thousands of seals nearby or a restaurant in the city for dinner, or anything else that you may want to do – the choice is yours).

Day 4
Play Pearl Valley, De Zalze, Erinvale or Stellenbosch Courses.
After the golf you may want to visit a few of the wine estates in the Paarl and Stellenbosch regions for some wine tasting or a romantic picnic in the vineyards or visit the museums of Stellenbosch or Franschoek.

Day 5
Full day privately guided tour to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve where we visit Cape Point to explore the diversity of plant species in this reserve first hand and hopefully to view the rare bontebok and zebra, eland, baboon and other wildlife of the reserve. The scenery here is stunning and one has the option of getting to the view site by foot or by the less strenuous Funicular. We will possibly have lunch at the reserve before proceeding to the African penguin colony at Boulders Beach to view and learn more about these fascinating and endangered birds.                                                                                      
We then travel through the naval-base town of Simon's Town along the False Bay Coastline back to the accommodation in the Winelands.

Day 6
Play De Zalze, Pearl Valley, Erinvale or Stellenbosch Courses.
After the golf we visit Hermanus, judged to be the best land-based venue in the world for whale watching. With its unparalleled scenic beauty, modern infrastructure, up-market shops and endless adventure options, it’s little wonder that Hermanus has grown in size and popularity during the last decade. The whale season is from July to November, and during these months it is possible to view these magnificent mammals from the cliffs above the ocean.

Day 7
Check out after breakfast and return to the airport for your onward flight.

MORE: You can choose to extend your stay in the stunning area of Hermanus. No trip to the Western Cape is complete without a visit to watch the whales in Hermanus. Best sighted during the months from August to November, when the much revered Southern Right Whales are making their slow migratory pilgrimage along the coast, whale watching in Hermanus is one of the Cape’s most exciting draw-cards. 

You can also go shark diving! Your excursion to Geyser and Dyer Islands begins at the picturesque Kleinbaai Harbour. The launching slip way of this small harbour, being the point of entry for all cage diving expeditions to the islands, becomes a beehive of activity on clear mornings. Air tanks are filled, cylinders are placed inside diving cages, safety equipment is checked and the boats are fuelled prior to passengers' arrival. The complete trip takes about 4 to 5 hours. The boat leaves the harbour and takes 20 to 30 minutes to reach the channel between Geyser and Dyer islands. It normally takes about an hour of chumming and baiting before the first great white hones in on the bait with deadly accuracy - (sharks use their sense of smell and unique sense of electro-reception to detect the movement of the fibrous rope in the water.) A dorsal fin and part of the tail silently slice up through the water, leaving barely a wake; the ominous fins lock in on the boat. The undisputed lord of the deep has arrived!

The shark makes its swift, surprise attack from below and behind, leaping out of the water making a terrifying, brief, shocking appearance from nowhere. Having struck with awesome power, it falls backwards, using the forces of gravity and it’s incredibly powerful body to move away from the boat and descend into the depths of the ocean, its elegant torpedo-shaped body leaving not even a ripple on the surface. Passengers can experience excellent surface viewing from the boat’s upper deck to get an all-round view of the sharks attacking, circling and descending. It is the ideal spot to capture the exhilarating action on film or shoot video footage - the water is no more than 6 meters deep and is crystal clear.

You can extend your golfing holiday and play Arabella or Hermanus Courses in this region, or you can link it to a stay in Cape Town to play golf here in the Mother City. The golfing here is described elsewhere on this site.

You can also opt to go further on to the Garden Route, which is described elsewhere on this site as well - the options are many.
