Take advantage of your Cape Town Unlimited Attractions 2-Day Pass, which grants you access to the city’s top sights.

A day trip to the Cape Winelands or Cape Point is a must, where you can witness dramatic coastal scenery and meet the playful penguins at Boulders Beach.
Franschhoek – Wine & Elegance
From Cape Town, collect your rental car and drive into the heart of the Cape Winelands for a two-night stay in the picturesque town of Franschhoek. Known as the gastronomic capital of South Africa, Franschhoek boasts world-renowned wineries, exquisite restaurants, and stunning vineyard landscapes.
Enjoy a leisurely afternoon aboard the Franschhoek Wine Tram, which allows you to explore a selection of the region’s finest wine estates without the need to drive. Savour award-winning vintages, gourmet meals, and the serene beauty of rolling vineyards.

Depending on the season, embark on a whale-watching cruise to witness the majestic southern right whales up close. If visiting outside of whale season, enjoy scenic coastal walks along the Cliff Path, go sea kayaking, or explore the nearby Hemel-en-Aarde Valley, home to some of South Africa’s finest cool-climate wineries.
Kruger National Park – The Ultimate Safari Experience
After soaking in the coast, return your rental car and fly from Cape Town to Hoedspruit, your gateway to Kruger National Park. Here, you’ll spend three nights in a luxury safari lodge, where every day brings thrilling wildlife encounters and incredible moments in nature.
