Day 01 Tuesday:
Drive along the rugged West Coast, through Langebaan, Saldanah and Vredenburg to Lambert’s Bay. Overlooking the lagoon in Langebaan,
we stop for lunch at Spinnakers Restaurant.
DINNER/BED AND BREAKFAST AT LAMBERT’S BAY HOTEL
Day 02 Wednesday:
After breakfast we head for Bird Island. In 1959 the island was joined to the mainland by a breakwater. Bird Island is home to
cormorants, jackass penguins and Cape gannets. The island provides an ideal site for bird watching at close range.
A boat trip on the Atlantic Ocean follows, where we hope for some interaction with the dolphins. Afternoon at leisure.
A perfect end to the day: dinner at the Muisbosskerm Fish Restaurant. An “amphitheatre” on the beach providing a fish feast!
BED & BREAKFAST AT THE LAMBERT’S BAY HOTEL
Day 03 Thursday:
Today we journey to Springbok, the capital of the Namaqualand. Depending on the summer rainfall, for a few weeks in spring (mid
August to September) a colourful carpet of the most beautiful wild flowers will transform this region.
One of towns through which we travel today, is Vredendal. The Vredendal Co-operative has one of the largest cellars in the
country. We will visit the wine cellar where tours and tasting can be experienced. Lunch en route. Dinner in Springbok.
BED & BREAKFAST AT MOUNTAIN VIEW GUEST HOUSE
Day 04 Friday:
We depart for the Augrabies Falls National Park. Augrabies is a Khoihoi word for “place of great noise”. From a suspension bridge
one can view the spectacular falls. This thundering mass of water plummets from a height of 56m into a 20m wide ravine, said to be
the largest gorge through granite on earth. Lunch en route.
DINNER/BED & BREAKFAST AT AUGRABIES FALLS NATIONAL PARK
Day 05 Saturday:
Today our destination is the Molopo
Kalahari Lodge, close to the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park. We will pass through the towns of Kakamas, Keimos and Upington. The first
hydro electrical power station to be built in South Africa is found in Kakamas. In a canal beside the main street of Keimos, one can
view the almost extinct sight of a waterwheel. This waterwheel still turns today, its metal canisters raising the precious water
from one level to another. In Upington we will visit the
museum and do wine tasting at the Co-operative Wine Cellars.
Lunch at “Le Must Restaurant”.
DINNER/BED & BREAKFAST PACKS: MOLOPO KALAHARI LODGE
Day 06 Sunday:
An early departure will allow for a full day of game viewing in the Kgalagadi Transfrontier Park, where large herds of antelope
abound. With a bit of luck we will see the Kalahari lions, significant for their size and black mane. Breakfast and lunch will be
served in the designated picnic spots in the park.

out for the huge sociable weaver nests, which form continuous landmarks along the way. Lunch packs en route.
