Day 01

Cape Town, Cheetah Rescue, Penguins and Hermanus Whales

Get picked up by your tour guide at 08:30 am and start the tour. Drive to a cheetah rehabilitation and rescue centre. We will see the cheetahs, and you can encounter (touch) a cheetah. The cheetahs are rehabilitated back into the wild, and if this is not possible, they are used for educational purposes. Also meet a dog breed, the Anatolian Shepherd, bred and used to protect the cheetahs in the wild. At this centre, we will also see caracol, black-backed jackals, foxes, meerkats, and tortoises. Next, head to the Stony Point Penguin Colony. This is a beautiful setting where the boardwalk is not overcrowded, and you get to see penguins up close in nature. You are also likely to see a Dassie (Rock Hyrax) and sea birds. Continue along the coastline to Hermanus, where we have lunch. After lunch, we can take a walk along the cliffs, look for whales in the bay, and do a bit of shopping if you wish. Finally, drive back to Cape Town. The drive will take us over the pass, along the top of the mountain range, with a stop at a local farm stall for coffee.
