The typical hotels we use are on the daily itinerary but below are some of the standout hotels we use.



Cape Town: City Lodge Hotel V&A Waterfront (nights 1-3)







Base yourself a short walk from one of Cape Town’s most lively districts at this comfortable stay near the V&A Waterfront. Shops, museums and harbour views are a 5 to 10-minute walk away, while bright rooms, a garden pool and a terrace bar make it easy to unwind between exploring the city.



Oudtshoorn: De Opstal Country Lodge (night 5)







Relax in a peaceful Karoo retreat surrounded by open countryside just outside Oudtshoorn. Traditional Cape Dutch-style buildings sit among gardens and mountain views, while spacious rooms open onto private terraces. A swimming pool and shady veranda offer a welcome place to cool off after exploring the nearby Cango Caves.
