Cape Town

Cape Town anchors seven of Timeline Travel's nine tours, either as the arrival point or as the finale after a safari further north. The city tour alone covers the cable car up Table Mountain, the Malay Quarter, the Castle of Good Hope and Diamond Works, before a full-day Cape Peninsula tour along Chapman's Peak to Cape Point, the penguin colony at Boulders Beach and Kirstenbosch Gardens.

Travel Information

Cape Town works as either the start or the end of a Timeline Travel itinerary, and most tours build in three to four days to cover the city, the Peninsula and the Winelands properly. It pairs naturally with a Kruger safari or a Garden Route drive for travellers who want both a safari and a city-and-coast leg in the same trip.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many days do I need in Cape Town?

Timeline Travel typically builds three to four days into an itinerary — enough for the city tour, the Cape Peninsula, and either the Winelands or a day at leisure.

Can Cape Town be combined with a safari?

Yes — most of Timeline Travel's Cape Town tours continue on to Kruger National Park, Sabi Sands or Victoria Falls, so a city stay and a safari are booked as one trip.
