Daily Schedule
From October 13 to 22, 2026, and from October 22 to 31, 2026
(9 nights/10 days)
Day 1.
Cape Town. Helicopter ride.
We’ll meet you at the End of the World, in Africa’s southernmost city—Cape Town. After the flight, we’ll relax at a 5-star hotel and take our first steps around the city.

This day is going to be a blast! In every sense of the word. After all, the most exciting adventure awaits us this afternoon—we’re going to fly over Cape Town in a helicopter!

A postcard-perfect view of the city that you definitely shouldn’t miss: Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, and the Atlantic coast… .
Trust me, this flight will automatically go down as one of the most unforgettable experiences of your life. Cape Town from above—it’s love at first sight!

Afterward, we’ll gather for our traditional welcome dinner. Our first culinary experience will feature the freshest oysters, lobsters, and—trust me—the best sushi you’ve ever tasted! All accompanied by a bottle of fine South African wine. And, best of all, in the best possible company.
Day 2.
Table Mountain. Bo-Kaap. Dinner at one of the world’s top 100 restaurants.
The perfect morning in Cape Town should start at what The Telegraph calls the best coffee shop in the world.

After breakfast, we’ll head to Cape Town’s most colorful neighborhood—Bo-Kaap. The colorful houses were built by immigrants from the former Dutch colonies of Sri Lanka, Indonesia, India, and Malaysia. Neighbors often agreed on the colors of their houses to avoid clashing hues.

To gaze at this marvelous rainbow, wander through deserted side streets, soak up the vibrant spirit of adventure, and truly feel that you’re in Africa. That’s why we’re heading to Bo-Kaap.
As the sun begins to set, we’ll take the funicular up Table Mountain—one
From "The Seven New Wonders of Nature." The dining hall—because 300 days a year
A whimsical "tablecloth" of clouds hangs down from it. A place where you have a 360° view
surrounded by breathtaking views… The whole of Cape Town seems to stretch out
right in the palm of your hand!

South Africa is a foodie's paradise. And you already started to realize that yesterday…
And tonight, a truly hedonistic experience awaits us at dinner
at a restaurant ranked among the world's top 100. A 10-course meal of delicious culinary masterpieces
Prepared by a brilliant chef. Must try!
Day 3.
The Cape of Good Hope. Sports cars and the most beautiful road in the world.
Sports cars from the 1960s made their debut in the movie *Gone in 60 Seconds*, but today we’re starring in our own movie—with us behind the wheel! Floor the pedal and feel the wind in your hair. The ocean and a convoy of legendary AC Cobra sports cars on the most picturesque road in the world! This will be an unforgettable journey! We’ll pick the best spots for pit stops, soak up admiring glances, breathe in the sea air—and breathe out happiness.

The afternoon will be just as exciting, because we know the best spot to watch the sunset.
The Cape of Good Hope—a place straight out of Jules Verne’s books, awe-inspiring and filled with a profound sense of freedom. The power of nature. The spirit of exploration. The Atlantic Ocean stretches out 270° below you; ahead lies only Antarctica, and behind, if you turn around, a thin strip of land gradually widens as it recedes toward the horizon. And the entire earth, Africa, your home—all the land converges and ends at the very point where you stand. It’s incredibly powerful!

We'll be staying at a beautiful 5-star hotel in the town of Simon's Town, where the chances of spotting a penguin on the street are nearly 100%.


Day 4.
A beach with penguins.
We’ll have lunch at a model designer farm and spend a few hours thoroughly enjoying the leisurely pace of country life. You’ll love it! There are seashells underfoot, and the trees are laden with peaches and plums that you can pick and eat. Along the way, you’ll encounter giant tortoises and turkeys, and for lunch, we’ll serve only what’s in season.

Sooner or later, all roads in South Africa lead to Stellenbosch! An exquisite dinner and a night at a luxury winery await us, in an atmosphere of pure elegance and indulgence.
The very sight of penguins on a snow-white beach under the scorching African sun creates a sense of dissonance—this isn’t what we were taught in zoology class. Once upon a time, a pair of them swam ashore at Boulders Beach; now there’s an entire colony of more than 3,000 penguins here. The African penguin is an endangered species. And this is the only place in the world where you can get this close to them. A rush of emotions is guaranteed!
Day 5.
The Best Wineries in South Africa.
In South Africa, almost every winery is breathtakingly beautiful. It was a tough choice, but we’ve selected the two best, where the beauty and flavor are simply off the charts. Today, we’ll take our time moving from one winery to the next, tasting the finest wines along the way.

Let’s start with Delaire Graff. This isn’t just a winery… It’s a place dedicated to beauty in all its forms. English jeweler Laurence Graff highlighted the extraordinary natural landscape and created a world-class winery. The estate also features an art gallery displaying 400 works from Graff’s private collection, including the world’s largest square yellow diamond, the Sunrise. A champagne named in its honor is produced here.
Over lunch, we’ll sample the finest wines from the Graff collection, and afterward, we’ll visit a unique, exclusive winery for a tasting of premium wines.

You’ll definitely want to take a bottle from this winery home with you. Because this wine can hold its own against Ornellaia and Sassicaia, yet it’s much more affordable. Spoiler alert: you can’t buy it anywhere else in the world. Only the best for connoisseurs and foodies.
Day 6.
Whales. A farm with cheetahs and lions.
Have you been wanting to pet a purring cheetah, take a selfie with a zebra, and feed an ostrich? Today’s the day! The cheetah is as affectionate as a house cat. It was raised on the farm and is safe around people. So you’re guaranteed some friendly cuddles. Here’s a little secret: there are lions on this farm, too

In the afternoon, we’ll check into a luxurious private villa right on the oceanfront—a place you’ll never want to leave…
After breakfast, we'll set off on a boat trip in pursuit of our dream!

Whales. One of Africa’s greatest wonders. We’re in one of the best places in the world for whale watching. And we’re guaranteed to see southern right whales with their calves, since we’ll be in South Africa at the peak of whale season. These are truly otherworldly creatures. They don’t seem dangerous at all; quite the opposite—they exude genuine curiosity and wisdom. It’s impossible to look away.

Just imagine—a huge submarine right within arm's reach!

You're already brimming with memories, and we've got even more in store for you
something special.
Day 7.
Cage diving with great white sharks (optional).
There are only four places on Earth where you can come face to face with the most dangerous sharks. This is one of them.

It’s time to feel like the star of *Jaws*. The only thing standing between you and the great white sharks in the open ocean is the steel bars of the cage. It’s like a reverse zoo. That’s why this activity is completely safe and requires no diving skills. Though the adrenaline rush you’ll get will last well into the rest of your trip.

Meanwhile, those who aren't going to see the sharks are relaxing by the pool at our luxurious villa.
Here, every detail… fresh flowers in vases, a bottle of wine selected to suit your preferences that the host will personally pour into your glasses, music, the scent of freshly baked baguettes in the morning, and delicious berries for breakfast, paintings on the walls, sunsets overlooking the ocean, and even the chance to be the owner of a border collie—all of this captures your heart and immediately passes judgment, piercing it right through, leaving you no time to recover, no time to breathe, no time to make excuses… A place where a love for the country is born within its walls. A place you can’t find on booking sites, one that isn’t listed and is accessible only by recommendation. Exclusively for the participants of our trip.
Day 8.
Jeep safari. Evening game drive.
You can’t visit Africa without seeing the “Big Five”—the lion, elephant, leopard, buffalo, and rhinoceros. National Geographic’s photos come to life
They're waiting for you. We're going on a safari!

We’ll check into a comfortable safari lodge located within a private nature reserve. After lunch, you can take a dip and sunbathe by the pool.

And this evening, our first game drive awaits us. We’ll hop into safari jeeps and hit the road. An experienced ranger will share interesting facts about the animals and plan our route so that we can spot all of the “Big Five.”
Spotted giraffes stand with their legs spread comically at the watering hole, zebras dart across the road right in front of our jeep, and elephants chase away predators
From the little elephants, the cheetah races after its prey at breakneck speed, while a pride of well-fed lions has settled in the bush…
And the whole savanna breathes, roars, and sings in a thousand voices. A child's delight
Words can't describe it—in Africa, you're 15 again…

Tonight we'll get together for a traditional African barbecue. After all, a braai
and a glass of wine—essential ingredients for a white person’s perfect evening in Africa. And we go to bed early, looking forward to tomorrow.
Day 9.
Morning game drive. Horseback safari (optional).
We set out on a morning game drive at dawn to witness the wild savanna coming to life—animals are most active in the early hours. You’ll soon see what we mean.

After breakfast, those who wish can go on a horseback safari accompanied by a ranger. It’s an incredible experience! The animals perceive the rider and the horse as a single entity, coming very close, and you feel like you’re part of the wild. Basic riding skills are required.
In the afternoon, we return to Cape Town. We relax at a luxury villa (which, according to our guests, deserves not 5 stars, but a full 7) that will be our home for the night. We head out for a gala dinner at one of the city’s best restaurants and reminisce about the highlights of our trip.

Day 10.
Cape Town. Flight home.
Today we say goodbye to Africa, but this is certainly not a farewell, because our love story is just beginning… This continent leaves no one indifferent.
If your flight departs in the afternoon, you’ll have time to explore the city on your own, go shopping, visit a museum, check out the botanical garden, or pick up some souvenirs. And we’ll show you the best spots.
