This spectacular combination safari tour continues with thrilling sightseeing in South Africa’s beloved Mother City.

When the fun is done in Cape Town’s sun, take a scenic drive along the dramatic coastal route to Hermanus—the whale capital of the Cape.

Between July and November, Walker Bay comes alive with breaching giants and playful calves. Your two-night stay at Birkenhead House, a chic boutique hotel perched on a cliff, offers breathtaking views of the ocean, a glamorous infinity pool, and an indulgent spa experience to round out your journey.
This final leg of your five star holiday package is all about relaxation with a touch of marine magic. Birkenhead House blends coastal elegance with exceptional service, perfect for a luxurious wind-down after your safari adventure.
