ITINERARY

^
DAY 1

Welcome to Cape Town

Sawubona! A Zulu tribe greeting meaning I see you, you are important to me and I value you.

Your South African adventure begins the moment you land in Cape Town, where warm smiles and seamless transfers welcome you to the Mother City. After settling into your hotel, the afternoon is yours to wander the vibrant V&A Waterfront—alive with music, sea breezes, boutique stores, and harbour views.

As the sun dips behind Table Mountain, we gather for welcome cocktails with panoramic views of Cape Town at a rooftop bar. Over introductions and laughter we honour the spirit of Cape Town.

Accommodation: 4* hotel
Meals: Welcome cocktails

^
DAY 2

Table Mountain, Garden Landscapes and High Tea

Weather permitting, we rise early to ascend the iconic Table Mountain via the rotating cableway, taking in sweeping panoramas of city, sea, and distant peaks.

We continue to the magnificent Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden, a UNESCO-listed wonder where indigenous blooms blanket the slopes of the mountain. Stroll shaded pathways, breathe in fresh fynbos-scented air, and enjoy the serenity of nature.

The afternoon offers a complete change of pace: a classic High Tea at the Mount Nelson, where tiers of pastries, fine teas, and elegant surroundings invite pure indulgence.

Meals: Breakfast, high tea

Cape Winelands

We depart Cape Town and make our way into the heart of the Winelands, driving past rolling vineyards and mountain scenery. Along the way, we’ll explore the charming towns of Stellenbosch and Franschhoek, each rich in history and Cape Dutch character. Enjoy a wine tasting and leisurely lunch at a picture-perfect estate, surrounded by lush vineyards and stunning views.

Cape Peninsula Wonders

Today we travel one of the world’s most breathtaking coastal routes, starting with the dramatic curves of Chapman’s Peak Drive. At Cape Point Nature Reserve, the southern edge of the peninsula, ride the funicular to the lighthouse or enjoy an easy walk with endless blue ocean views stretching toward Antarctica.

A seafood feast at the famed Two Oceans Restaurant refuels us before an afternoon highlight: visiting the charming African penguin colony at Boulders Beach, viewed from scenic boardwalks only a pebble’s throw from the sea.

Meals: Breakfast

DAY 5

The Heart of Cape Town: Culture, Colour & Cape Malay Flavours

This morning we step into the story-rich, pastel-coloured streets of Bo-Kaap, guided by a local who brings the neighbourhood’s history, culture, and heritage to life. Our experience continues inside a welcoming family home, where we roll up our sleeves for an intimate Cape Malay cooking class. Expect warmth, spice, laughter, and shared dishes that taste like tradition passed from generation to generation.

The afternoon is yours—relax, wander, shop, or simply soak up Cape Town your way.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

DAY 6

West Coast Odyssey

We head north into a landscape of wide-open skies and rugged coastal charm. At the !Khwa ttu Heritage Centre, we deepen our understanding of San culture through immersive exhibits and storytelling.

A leisurely West Coast lunch at a historic estate surrounded by farmlands and ocean breezes – a peaceful corner of the Cape seldom seen by visitors.

Meals: Breakfast, Lunch

DAY 7

Robben Island & Rhythms of Africa dinner

Our final day begins with a powerful journey across Table Bay to Robben Island, where stories of resilience and hope echo through the island’s historical landmarks.

I honestly loved every moment of my ladies’ trip to Vietnam with The Adventurous Ewe. From the buzz and chaos of Saigon, to the laid‑back charm of Hoi An, and the vibrant energy of Hanoi, the itinerary felt incredibly well balanced and thoughtfully put together. Our tour leader Mandy was amazing – warm, organised, and genuinely passionate about what she does. The experiences were unforgettable: lantern making, a hands‑on cooking class, an epic Vespa food tour, rooftop cocktails, colourful market visits, pearl farm, cruise on Halong Bay and riding on the back of a Minsk through Hanoi’s back alleys. Every day brought something exciting and authentic, giving us a real glimpse into life in Vietnam. The combination of culture, the amazing food(egg coffee!!), adventure, and getting to share it all with such a great group of women made this trip truly special. An excellent tour from start to finish – I’d highly recommend it to any woman wanting to travel. I’m already looking forward to my next adventure!

Mandy made our Vietnam tour magical and unforgettable. Everything was professional & and exceptionally well organised from start to finish, with great attention to detail and thoughtful adjustments to suit the group’s interests and energy levels. As a vegetarian, I especially appreciated how well catered for I was everywhere we went, from street vendors to Michelin-starred restaurants. The local guides and transfers were seamless, and the balance of diverse experiences and free time was perfect. Travelling with Mandy felt like travelling with a friend who is warm, thoughtful, and incredibly organised. I unreservedly recommend this delightful Adventurous Ewe package.

I loved my trip to Northern Portugal with The Adventurous Ewe. The tour was a good balance of interesting, well-organised activities and free time to do your own sightseeing or shopping. I enjoyed the small group size and getting to know two fabulous Portuguese cities pretty well. Thank you, Mandy!

An Incredibly Well-Organised Tour of Vietnam! This tour was exceptionally well planned, allowing us the perfect balance of exploration, cultural immersion, and relaxation. From tasting the local cuisine to experiencing the vibrant sights and sounds of Vietnam, every detail was thoughtfully considered. We had a fantastic group of “ewes,” and sharing this unforgettable journey with them made it even more special. There was just the right mix of group activities and free time to shop, wander, or simply soak in the atmosphere—whether solo or in smaller groups. A huge thank you to Mandy for curating such a seamless and memorable experience. You truly delivered an awesome trip!

Vietnam was a full on sensory travel experience in the company of Mandy, long standing friends and some new to create an unforgettable tour. Vietnam is a much bigger country than imagined and our trip was a combination of private coach and air travel, with an overnight luxury cruise on the iconic Hlong Bay. The food experiences were divine and interacting with friendly Vietnamese made our individual shopping excursions easy. Hoi An for silks and 24 hour dressmaking as well as beautiful coloured lanterns, needs more time to absorb! Saigon, our final City, calls me back with its dynamic light and energy!
