three meerkats watching out

See wildlife and stunning landscapes as well as learn about local culture in this malaria-free part of Africa. We'll have an opportunity to meet endangered wildlife and hear about the conservation issues involving cheetah, meerkats and elephants. Marvel at seals and penguins whilst exploring the Cape Peninsula and the Cape of Good Hope, and spot whales in Hermanus. We visit Gugulethu Township in the heart of Cape Flats and get a glimpse of its culture before trying traditional Xhosa face-painting and cooking in a local home. After exploring the rugged coastline of the Garden Route we head to the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town, watched over by the impressive Table Mountain.

Please note: This trip has had a name change for 2013 season, the trip was formerly called: Cape Escapade

The Cheetah Outreach that we visit is an education and community-based programme created to raise awareness and campaign for cheetah survival. The elephant sanctuary in Plettenberg bay offers a 'halfway house' for young African orphan elephants in need of a temporary home.
