Leaving our hotel behind, embark on a breath-taking drive, known as the Chapman's Peak Drive; arguably the most scenic drive in the world! This drive hugs the near-vertical face of Chapman's Peak, from Houtbay to Noordhoek. Cut into the face of the mountain between 1915 and 1922, the road was at that time regarded as a major feat of engineering.
The road leads to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve and Cape Point. In the nature reserve we visit Cape Point, where the stormy waters of the Atlantic are met by the calming influence of the Indian Ocean.
We make our way to the Seaforth Restaurant for a pre-arranged three-course lunch with fine wines.

As you enter the Lanzerac Wine Estate through its majestic Oak-lined driveway, you can almost feel time slow down and history settle around you. With 326 years behind its name, this Stellenbosch landmark boasts an old-world charm that is an unrivalled drawcard for day visitors and hotel guests alike. And now, thanks to an extensive refurbishment, the elegant Estate can lay claim to the best of both worlds – contemporary, sophisticated facilities, coupled with rich, Cape heritage.
Lanzerac offers three restaurants on the property where you can enjoy dinner.

About 40 km to the east of Cape Town, lying in the shadow of a continuous belt of Cape fold mountains, lies a series of generous valleys known as the Cape Winelands – a collection of historic towns, little hamlets and Cape Dutch farmsteads that provide well-regarded South African wines to the world. These mountains create an incredible scenic backdrop for a myriad vine, but they are also one of the reasons wines do so well here.
Their geological compositions provide unique soil conditions that directly affect the character of wine. The topography of wineland soils vary substantially, ranging from shallow, rocky soils on steep slopes and plateaus, to reddish-brown soils along mountain foothills - the predominant soil type of the Cape Winelands, Stellenbosch, Paarl and Wellington particularly.
Like successful European wines these inland vineyards benefit from a typical Mediterranean climate. However, the influence of nearby oceans means that summers have the advantage of offshore winds far more than northern hemisphere counterparts, giving credence to the saying: 'a vineyard that can see the sea, is a good vineyard'.
We leave Lanzerac behind to explore the town of Franschhoek. The French Huguenots brought their knowledge of viticulture with them and, upon receiving land from the Dutch East India Company; many vineyards were established and are today still producing some of the world's finest wines. After lunch, we will visit one of the local wine estates, where we will sample the fine wines, they produce.
We will visit a total of 3 wine estates before making our way back to Stellenbosch!

We also help in other ways, such as organising extra lessons by volunteers, assisting with donations from travellers through the Pack for a Purpose platform and infrastructure upgrades.
HANANANI SCHOOL GARDEN
The Hananani School Garden was gifted in 2014 to Hananani Primary School in Dixie, the closest village to the Sabi Sand Game Reserve. The garden’s main purpose is to grow and supply vegetables to the school’s kitchen, which is responsible for providing each of the 253 school children with a balanced, nutritious meal at school every day. The learners and teachers are invited into the garden on a regular basis to assist with planting, harvesting and land preparations, which all creates a sense of pride and ownership.

Enjoy your last morning game-drive at Thornybush. After breakfast you will be picked -up by your friendly Simbavati Trails Camp guide for your transfer to Simbavati Trails Camp to be in time for Brunch.
Get ready for your first afternoon game-walk.
Days start with a +/- 3 hour walk at a leisurely pace with an armed specialist guide. Experiencing the bush on foot is entirely different from being on a safari vehicle, enabling you to completely immerse yourself in the mesmerising sights, sounds and smells of the African bush. Stops for snacks and drinks tide you over until a tasty brunch is prepared back at the camp.
After some ‘me’ time spent snoozing or reading outside your tent, a savoury and sweet ‘tea’ is prepared before another +/-3 hour walk at the end of the afternoon, ending at a viewpoint to enjoy an unforgettable African sunset. A short drive will bring you back to camp with time to freshen up before dinner around the campfire.
