Overview
About 5 Day Cape Town Itinerary
The three cornerstones remain the City (Day 1), the Cape Peninsula (Day 2) and the Winelands (Day 3) — see the 3-day package for detail. What five days adds is breathing room and depth.
Day 4 is a specialist day. In whale season (roughly June–November) we usually drive to Hermanus for whale watching from the cliffs or a licensed boat trip. Outside whale season, we offer a full-day safari to Aquila, a helicopter and V&A Waterfront day, a Franschhoek-only wine day, or a food-and-art day around the city and Constantia.
Day 5 is a day at leisure or a slow farewell day. Some guests use it for a spa morning and beach afternoon; others do a light half-day — a Bo-Kaap walking tour, a private Groot Constantia wine tasting — before heading to the airport. Wanderer books whatever fits, or holds Day 5 as a genuine free day.
The pacing works because it alternates full-days with the mountain-and-peninsula effort and slower, food-focused days. Guests coming off long-haul flights land into a real holiday, not a marathon.
As with all Wanderer packages, everything is private. Your Mercedes-Benz and your Wanderer guide/chauffeur are yours for the five days. We book restaurant reservations, cable-car tickets, activities and Winelands estates. Airport transfers both ends included.
Pricing is by vehicle (private-tour portion) plus accommodation separately. Two guests pay the same as six for the touring — very good value for couples and family groups. Hotels, apartments and villas are quoted based on your choice — see our accommodation pages.
