    Going in the cable car to the top of Table Mountain, swimming in the Breede River, the zip wire thrill over the tree tops in Tsitsikamma and so many other highlights too numerous to list.

    There were several things I particularly liked, including the visit to a wine producer in Stellenbosch, the Cango caves and going up Table mountain.

    Table mountain was fabulous but would have liked to go to the botanic gardens and Robben Island. Due to a Cycling tournament the guide was very helpful and was able to switch days 1 and 2 but as roads were closed off it was difficult to travel around Cape Town

    Everything! The table mountain hike was tough but the views along the way and at the top made it worth it. Loved going to the penguin park, I could have sat and watched them all day. All of the hikes and views were so gorgeous. I was actually happy it rained and we got to go to the 3 animal sanctuaries. Monkeyland was an incredible experience and it was nice to see some of the predators we missed on the game drive. The view at the kayaking and Lilo hotel was amazing. I was really happy our guide Vern took us on his game drive before the official one because I feel like we really got to see a lot more things and then the game drive we got to see a few things but closer. Such an amazing trip!
