Day 1, arrive in Cape Town (CPT), South Africa: you will be met at Cape Town International

historical parallel and visit historic Cape Town landmarks. Dinner will be traditional Cape fare.

Day 3, In the morning visit Robben Island, where Nelson Mandela spent 18 of his 27-years in

prison. The afternoon is free for you to wonder about the Victoria & Alfred waterfront and

Day 4, Visit Township community work projects with Uthando (Uthando link). Here you will visit

projects Anir Foundation supports and let us know which community project you would like

your $250 donation to support, and possibly make an additional donation if you so choose. A

township lunch will be provided, dinner will be on your own; we’ll give you suggestions as to

where to dine.

Day 5, In the morning climb Table Mountain with Rachel Blue or take the cable car up. That

afternoon enjoy a Cape Malay cooking Class.

Day 6, Wine Country tour: the Western Cape of South Africa is internationally known for its fine

wine. If you are not into wine, you will still enjoy the countryside and the cheese and

chocolate…

Day 7, Morning, Art & Art History. First you will visit the South African National Art History

Museum (link), then the new largest museum contemporary African Art , Zeitz Museum of

Contemporary African Art (link).

Gardens, dinner on your own.

Day 9 Free to shop, visit other sites on your own or add-on a day safari at a private game

reserve (safari is an additional $275 USD with no refund).

Day 10, Plan an early evening departure home so you can visit Greenmarket Square, the longest

running indigenous market in South Africa. Up until 2005 Greenmarket Square was only South

whichever comes first. Unless you continue on for the day-safari experience
