Arrive in Cape Town, an easy first evening
Cape Town International Airport to your hotel in central Cape Town
- Light welcome supper
- Stay in Cape Town
- Drive about 30 min
Fly into Cape Town International Airport (CPT), about 20 km east of the city, where a driver meets you in the arrivals hall for the half-hour drive in. Our hotel sits in a walkable, well-lit part of the city, near the V&A Waterfront or in the City Bowl, with a 24-hour reception; we name it when we confirm your dates.
Afternoon
Nothing is planned for the afternoon: check in, sleep off the flight, or walk along the harbour with Table Mountain filling the sky above it.
Evening
At about 6 pm your See Sight Tours guide, who is a woman, meets the group for a short briefing on the trip: how rooms are shared, how the Cape Town days move with the wind, where to walk in the evening and when to take a car, and what to pack for early safari drives. We then walk a few minutes to a light welcome supper and finish early, so the first full day starts rested. Later arrivals are met and briefed in the morning.
Included
- Pick-up at Cape Town International Airport (CPT)
- Welcome and safety briefing with your guide
- Light welcome supper near the hotel
Free time: Free until the 6 pm briefing
Activity: Land by about 4 pm to join the supper.
Table Mountain, the Bo-Kaap and a Cape Malay kitchen
Up Table Mountain by cableway, then the Bo-Kaap, and a cooking evening in a home
- Breakfast and dinner
- Stay in Cape Town
- Drive about 30 min
Morning
We start early, leaving the hotel at about 7:30 to ride the Table Mountain Aerial Cableway in the first cars of the morning (the first car runs at about 8 or 8:30 depending on the season; we confirm the time with your dates), before the queues build and while the summit is most often clear. On top, easy paths loop around the plateau, more than 1,000 m above the city, with views across Table Bay to Robben Island and along the Twelve Apostles. If wind closes the cableway, which happens often, we swap today with day 3 or day 4. Back down, a guide who is a woman from the Bo-Kaap walks us through her neighbourhood of brightly painted houses, cobbled lanes and mosques, shaped by the Cape Malay community, descendants of people brought to the Cape, many enslaved, from the 17th century.
Afternoon
The early afternoon is free for lunch where you like and a rest.
Evening
In the evening a Cape Malay cook welcomes us into her home: we fold samoosas, grind spices for a curry and then sit down together to eat it. We confirm the host with your dates.
Included
- Table Mountain Aerial Cableway, return ticket
- Walk on the summit plateau with your guide
- Bo-Kaap walk with a woman guide from the neighbourhood
- Cape Malay cooking evening and dinner in a woman's home (host confirmed with your dates)
Easier option: Stay on the short, flat paths near the upper cable station, with benches and a cafe.
More active option: Hike up Platteklip Gorge with a mountain guide, two to three hours of steep stone steps, and meet the group at the top.
Free time: Early afternoon free: the V&A Waterfront, the Zeitz MOCAA art museum or the District Six Museum (closed Sundays) are close.
Activity: Bring a warm layer for the summit and a scarf if you want to step into a mosque in the Bo-Kaap.
Penguins, Cape Point and Chapman's Peak
Cape Town down the False Bay side to Boulders Beach and Cape Point, back by Chapman's Peak Drive and Hout Bay
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Cape Town
- Drive about 3.5 h
We run the Cape Peninsula day in the order that avoids the crowds. We leave at about 7:45 am down the False Bay side, past Muizenberg's beach huts, Kalk Bay's fishing harbour and naval Simon's Town, to reach Boulders Beach close to opening, when the boardwalks above the granite coves are quiet and the African penguins are busy on the sand. They are critically endangered, so we watch only from the boardwalks. Next is the Cape of Good Hope section of Table Mountain National Park: walk or ride the Flying Dutchman funicular up to the old lighthouse at Cape Point for the long view down the cliffs, then stop at the Cape of Good Hope sign on the rocky shore. Watch for ostriches, bontebok and baboons, which are wild and must never be fed; keep food out of sight.
Afternoon
Lunch is a sit-down meal by the sea. In the afternoon we drive back up the Atlantic side on Chapman's Peak Drive, with the sun on the cliffs, through Hout Bay and Camps Bay.
Included
- Boulders Beach penguin colony, with the park fee
- Cape Point, with the Flying Dutchman funicular
- The Cape of Good Hope, with the Table Mountain National Park fee
- Sit-down lunch on the peninsula
- Chapman's Peak Drive, with the toll
Easier option: Ride the funicular both ways at Cape Point and stay with the vehicle between viewpoints.
More active option: Walk the cliff path from Cape Point to the Cape of Good Hope, about 1.5 hours, with your guide, and meet the vehicle at the sign.
Free time: Evening free
Activity: About three and a half hours of driving, split into five short legs. If Chapman's Peak Drive is closed for weather or rockfall, we return over Ou Kaapse Weg.
Langa with a resident guide, and Robben Island
Langa in the morning, then the ferry from the V&A Waterfront to Robben Island
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Cape Town
- Drive about 30 min
This day is about Cape Town beyond the postcard. With a woman who lives in Langa, the oldest of Cape Town's townships, we walk its streets for about two hours: past family homes and the hostels built for migrant workers under apartheid, to the Guga S'Thebe arts centre and small businesses run by residents. She talks about daily life, family and work as a woman in Langa, and you can ask her anything. It is a walk with a host, not a drive past in a bus, and we photograph people only when they say yes.
Afternoon
Lunch is at a kitchen in Langa run by women, and the guide and the kitchen are paid directly; we confirm both with your dates. In the afternoon we take the ferry from the V&A Waterfront to Robben Island, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. Museum guides lead the tour; with the crossing it takes about three and a half hours. If the sea cancels the ferry, we try another Cape Town day.
Included
- Langa walking visit with a woman resident guide (confirmed with your dates)
- Lunch at a women-run kitchen in Langa (confirmed with your dates)
- Robben Island ferry and museum tour
Free time: Evening free at the V&A Waterfront, a short walk or drive from the hotel
Activity: About two hours on foot in Langa on pavements and dirt lanes. The Robben Island ferry is weather-dependent and tickets are booked ahead.
Franschhoek and Stellenbosch
Cape Town to Franschhoek, then over the Helshoogte Pass to Stellenbosch
- Breakfast and lunch
- Stay in Stellenbosch
- Drive about 2 h
Morning
We leave Cape Town after breakfast for the Cape Winelands, about an hour and a quarter east to Franschhoek, a valley of vineyards closed in by mountains on three sides. French Huguenot refugees settled here from 1688, and the Huguenot Monument at the end of the main street remembers them. Our morning tasting is hosted by a woman winemaker, or at a wine brand owned by women, part of a newer generation in an industry long run by a few old families; we confirm the estate with your dates.
Afternoon
Then we sit down to a long lunch in the valley. Non-drinkers get a grape juice or food pairing where the estate offers one. Mid-afternoon we cross the Helshoogte Pass to Stellenbosch, about 30 km, a town founded in 1679 with oak-lined streets and whitewashed Cape Dutch gables. Your guide walks you down Dorp Street to the Braak, the old town square, and past the period houses of the Village Museum, and a second tasting just outside town closes the afternoon.
Evening
Dinner is free.
Included
- Huguenot Monument, Franschhoek
- Wine tasting hosted by a woman winemaker or at a women-owned wine brand (confirmed with your dates)
- Long sit-down lunch in Franschhoek
- Guided walk through old Stellenbosch: Dorp Street, the Braak and the Village Museum houses
- Second wine tasting near Stellenbosch
Easier option: Skip the second tasting and rest at the hotel in Stellenbosch.
More active option: Ride an e-bike between Franschhoek estates with a local guide instead of the vehicle, on farm roads (confirmed at booking).
Free time: Evening free in Stellenbosch's old town, which is easy to walk
Fly to the bushveld
Stellenbosch to Cape Town International Airport, fly to Hoedspruit, then a safari lodge in the Greater Kruger
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Greater Kruger
- Drive about 1.5 h
Morning
An unhurried breakfast, and for early risers a walk among the vineyards at the edge of town, then about 45 minutes to Cape Town International Airport. We fly north-east to Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport, direct where a flight runs on your date, otherwise with a change in Johannesburg, which replaces the long road day other trips spend reaching Kruger. From the small airport it is a short transfer to our safari lodge in a private reserve of the Greater Kruger, where the fences with the national park are down and animals move freely; we name the lodge when we confirm your dates.
Afternoon
Lunch is at the lodge, or on the way if we connect, then a briefing: stay seated in the vehicle, keep voices low, and after dark a ranger walks you to your room. At about 4 pm we head out in open vehicles with a ranger and tracker for the first drive, stopping for a sundowner as the light goes, and return in the dark with a spotlight picking out eyes in the bush.
Evening
Dinner is at the lodge.
Included
- Transfer to Cape Town International Airport
- Flight from Cape Town to Hoedspruit (Eastgate), direct or via Johannesburg
- Transfer to the lodge
- Afternoon game drive in an open vehicle with a ranger and tracker, with a sundowner
- Reserve conservation levies
Easier option: Skip the first drive and settle in at the lodge with a drink on the deck.
Free time: A short rest at the lodge before the afternoon drive
Activity: If we connect in Johannesburg we reach the lodge later and the first drive may be shorter. Pack a warm layer in your hand luggage: evening drives turn cold quickly, especially from May to August.
Dawn drive, the Black Mambas and dusk
The private reserve, with a visit in the Balule Nature Reserve where arranged
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Greater Kruger
- Drive about 1 h
Safari days follow the animals' clock.
Morning
A wake-up knock comes at about 5 am in summer and a little later in winter, with coffee and rusks before the dawn drive, the best hours for lions, leopards and wild dogs. Where the reserve's rules allow, the ranger can leave the track for a sighting, and only a few vehicles may gather at one, so it stays quiet. Back at the lodge for a late breakfast. Late morning, where a visit can be arranged with your dates, we meet members of the Black Mambas, the all-women anti-poaching unit that patrols the Balule Nature Reserve in the Greater Kruger: young women from the surrounding communities who walk the fences, find snares and watch for poachers. They talk about the work and why they joined, and part of the price goes to the unit. If no visit is possible, a guided bush walk with an armed field guide takes its place. The middle of the day is free at the lodge.
Evening
After afternoon tea the second drive runs past sunset, with a sundowner stop, and dinner is at the lodge.
Included
- Dawn game drive in an open vehicle with a ranger and tracker
- Meeting with members of the Black Mambas anti-poaching unit, where a visit is arranged, or a guided bush walk
- Afternoon and evening game drive with a sundowner
- All meals at the lodge
Easier option: Skip the late-morning visit and rest at the lodge until the afternoon drive.
More active option: Join the bush walk with an armed field guide as well as the visit, where the lodge's schedule allows.
Free time: Middle of the day free at the lodge
Activity: Each drive lasts about three hours. The road figures are for the visit to Balule; if the lodge is in Balule itself they are shorter.
A full day in Kruger National Park
The lodge to Orpen Gate, then across the central plains toward Satara and back
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Greater Kruger
- Drive about 2 h
Today we go into Kruger National Park itself, proclaimed a national park in 1926 and close to two million hectares of bush.
Morning
We leave before breakfast to be at Orpen Gate as it opens (gate times change by month), about an hour's drive, then spend the day on the park's roads in an open safari vehicle with a registered guide, heading east across the central plains toward Satara, known for lions, elephants, buffalo and big herds of zebra and wildebeest.
Afternoon
Breakfast is a picnic at a stop inside the park, and lunch is a sit-down meal at a rest camp, with clean washrooms and time to stretch. Park roads are public and vehicles must stay on them, so this is a different safari from the reserve: wider landscapes, more ground covered and more vehicles at the big sightings.
Evening
We leave the park before the gate closes and reach the lodge in time for dinner. It is a long day, about ten hours and mostly seated, so there is an easy option.
Included
- Full-day safari in Kruger National Park in an open vehicle with a registered guide
- Kruger National Park conservation fee
- Picnic breakfast and sit-down lunch at a rest camp
Easier option: This is the longest day of the trip, about ten hours and mostly seated. If that is too much, stay at the lodge and join its usual dawn and afternoon drives in the reserve instead, with the middle of the day free; tell your guide the evening before.
More active option: Stay at the lodge and go out on a bush walk with an armed field guide instead, where the lodge offers one.
Free time: Time to stretch your legs and browse at the rest camp after lunch
Activity: About 2 hours of road driving to and from Orpen Gate, plus about 6 hours of slow game viewing inside the park.
Last full day in the bush
The private reserve, with an optional half-day to the Blyde River Canyon
- Breakfast, lunch and dinner
- Stay in Greater Kruger
Our last full day stays close to the lodge.
Morning
The dawn drive is the time to look for anything still missing from your list: rangers share sightings over the radio, and your guide can ask to focus on leopard, rhino or birds. Rhino sightings are never shared with a location, and the lodge asks guests not to geotag their photos, because poaching is still a threat, which is also why anti-poaching units such as the Black Mambas patrol these reserves. After breakfast, a guided bush walk with an armed field guide, about two hours at an easy pace, reading tracks, dung, termite mounds and birds, for anyone who did not walk on day 7. The middle of the day is free. For a change of scene, an optional half-day goes to the Blyde River Canyon, about an hour and a quarter away, for the view of the Three Rondavels, back in time for the last drive.
Evening
The late-afternoon drive ends with a sundowner, and then a farewell dinner in the boma, the open-air enclosure around a fire, with the sounds of the bush around you.
Included
- Dawn game drive in an open vehicle with a ranger and tracker
- Guided bush walk with an armed field guide
- Afternoon and evening game drive with a sundowner
- Farewell dinner in the boma
- All meals at the lodge
Optional experiences
- Half-day to the Blyde River Canyon and the Three Rondavels viewpoint, priced at booking
Easier option: Sleep in and skip the dawn drive, or skip the walk and rest on the deck.
More active option: Ask the field guide to stretch the bush walk where the reserve's rules and the group allow.
Free time: Middle of the day free
Fly to Johannesburg
The lodge to Hoedspruit (Eastgate), then fly to Johannesburg O. R. Tambo International Airport
- Breakfast
- Drive about 1 h
Morning
A last short drive at first light, or a slow coffee on the deck if you would rather, then breakfast at the lodge and the transfer to Hoedspruit's Eastgate Airport. The flight to Johannesburg's O. R. Tambo International Airport (JNB) takes about an hour and a quarter, and your guide flies with you and sees you to your onward check-in, so nobody is left alone in a big airport with bags.
Evening
Most long-haul flights from Johannesburg to Europe and North America leave in the evening, which suits the day: book an onward flight leaving after about 6 pm. If your flight leaves late, after about 9 pm, ask us to add a guided visit to the Apartheid Museum, about 30 km from the airport, which tells the story of segregation and the transition to democracy through photographs, film and personal accounts; it is priced at booking and includes a driver. If you want to stay on in Johannesburg, we can book extra nights at a hotel with airport transfers for you.
Included
- Short dawn drive, if you want it
- Transfer to Hoedspruit (Eastgate)
- Flight from Hoedspruit to Johannesburg (JNB), with your guide to onward check-in
Optional experiences
- Guided visit to the Apartheid Museum with a driver, for flights after about 9 pm, priced at booking
Easier option: Skip the last dawn drive and take a slow breakfast on the deck.
Free time: Time at the lodge after breakfast before the airport transfer
Activity: Book an onward flight from Johannesburg leaving after about 6 pm.

Wildlife and weather: April to May and September to November suit both halves of the trip. In the Kruger area the dry winter, about May to September, thins the bush and draws animals to water, with cold dawns and the lowest malaria risk; the rains from about November turn the bush green and bring newborn impala, but animals are harder to see. Cape Town is driest from November to March and wettest from June to August, and the cableway can close for wind in any season.

Questions
Prices in these answers apply from Jan 1, 2027. Black Friday offer: 15% off the small-group price for requests received by Dec 1, 2026. From CAD 6,665 per person. Dec 2 to Dec 31: from CAD 7,215. From Jan 1, 2027: from CAD 7,840.
What does the price include?
Nine nights in central hotels and a safari lodge, 9 breakfasts, 7 lunches and 6 dinners, two domestic flights, airport transfers, a private vehicle in the Cape, open safari vehicles with rangers and trackers, your female See Sight Tours guide throughout, and every visit in the day plan, including Table Mountain, Robben Island, Cape Point, the cooking evening, two tastings and a full day in Kruger National Park.
Who can join a women-only trip?
Any woman, travelling alone or with friends; the minimum age is confirmed when you book. The dated small group is for women only, guests and lead guide alike. Drivers, rangers and trackers may be men, and your guide is with the group throughout. If you want a mixed group, book our regular Cape Town, Winelands and Kruger trip instead.
How big is the group, and how many women are in each safari vehicle?
The small group runs with 7 to 12 women. On safari we ask the lodge for two open vehicles for our group, so there are no more than 6 guests in each and every seat is an outside seat, with a ranger driving and a tracker spotting.
I'm travelling solo. Do I have to pay a single supplement?
Only if you want a room of your own, which is from CAD 1,330 more. If you would rather share, ask for roommate matching and we pair you with another solo woman in the group where one is booked. If no match is found, we tell you before you pay, and you choose a single room or wait for a match.
Is South Africa safe for women travellers?
It can be, with care. South Africa has high crime rates, so we plan for it: hotels in walkable, well-lit areas, our own vehicle and driver, a guide with you every day, and a car rather than a long walk after dark. Keep phones out of sight in the street and do not hike alone. At the lodge a ranger walks you to your room at night.
What should I wear in South Africa?
What you would wear in a city at home is fine; South Africa is relaxed about dress. Cover shoulders and knees with a scarf or long layer if you step into a mosque in the Bo-Kaap. On safari wear neutral colours and bring warm layers for cold dawn drives.
Who leads the trip?
A female See Sight Tours guide travels with the group from Cape Town to Johannesburg, including on both flights. Local women add what they know best: a guide from the Bo-Kaap, a resident guide in Langa and a winemaker in Franschhoek, confirmed with your dates, plus Robben Island Museum guides and the lodge's rangers and trackers.
Who are the Black Mambas, and will we meet them?
The Black Mambas are an all-women anti-poaching unit that patrols the Balule Nature Reserve in the Greater Kruger, recruited from nearby communities. Where a visit can be arranged with your dates, we meet members to hear about their work, and part of the price goes to the unit. If it cannot be arranged, a guided bush walk takes its place.
How fit do I need to be?
Not very. Walking is easy: flat paths on Table Mountain, about two hours in the Bo-Kaap and in Langa, and short walks at Cape Point. The effort is early starts on safari and long hours seated, about ten on the Kruger National Park day, which you can swap for a quieter day at the lodge.
When is the best time to go?
April to May and September to November suit both halves: Cape Town is mostly dry and the Kruger bush is thin enough for good viewing. June to August is excellent for safari, with cold dawns, but wet in Cape Town. December to March is hot and green in Kruger, with the highest malaria risk.
Do Canadians need a visa for South Africa?
No. Canadian passport holders can visit as tourists for up to 90 days without a visa. Your passport needs two blank pages and at least 30 days of validity after you leave South Africa. Other nationalities should check, and we send the current rules with your booking.
How does booking work, and can we go on our own dates?
Send your preferred dates as an enquiry. We check availability and provide the final quote, itinerary and booking terms before you accept. No payment is taken when you send the request. The small group starts from CAD 7,840 per person sharing. A private trip for your party on a date you choose is from CAD 14,110, and for independent travel on your own dates, ask us for a quote.
