Day 1: Arrival in Cape Town Be welcomed to Cape Town by your guide. Travel to your accommodation. In the evening enjoy a welcome dinner. Day 2: Cape Malay cooking & Two Oceans Aquarium Perched on the slopes of Signal Hill, overlooking Table Bay, the Bo-Kaap is as idiosyncratically ‘Cape’ as the spicy scents and flavours that waft downhill. It’s “hands-on” cooking experience during the informal workshop in a Bo-Kaap family home. In the afternoon head to the Two Oceans Aquarium is ideally positioned to showcase the incredible diversity of marine life found in these two oceans. Here enjoy a hands-on experience in their discovery room.

In the afternoon we will make our way to Cape Town’s most famous landmark - Table Mountain. A visit to Cape Town would not be complete without a cable car ride to the top of this massif (weather permitting). Day 4: Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens, Robben Island & African Drumming The Fragrance Garden features plants with aromatic properties and unusual textures. The plants are grown in waist-high, raised beds to enable visitors to touch them, feel them and smell them. The Fragrance Garden is surrounded by a guard rail and contains plant information labels in large print, as well as Braille. From the 17th to the 20th centuries, Robben Island served as a place of banishment, isolation and imprisonment. Today it is a World Heritage Site and museum.
