Some of the Highlights of this tour:
Lesedi Cultural Village
is located in the heart of the African bushveld amidst the rocky hills within the Cradle of Humankind, a World Heritage Site. Discover the fascinating cultures and traditions of the people of Africa, visiting five traditional homesteads inhabited by Zulu, Xhosa, Pedi, Basotho and Ndebele tribes who live according to tribal folklore and traditions of their ancestors.
Hot air balloon flights
are one of the most romantic pursuits you could ever imagine. From way up high you are treated to a 720 degree, wrap-around panorama that allows you to view pretty much everything for your slowly drifting vantage point. One gets a real sense of weightless, and apart from the occasional hiss of the balloon, total peace rules the skies with the only sounds coming up at you from the bushveld or country side below. A ride in a hot air balloon gives you the opportunity to see, smell and soak up an area on a completely new level.
Table Mountain,
the signature view in Cape Town, one of the “New Seven Wonders of Nature”, is a flat-topped mountain forming a prominent landmark overlooking the city of Cape Town in South Africa. It is a significant tourist attraction, with many visitors using the cableway or even hiking to the top.
