OPTIONAL TOURS FROM CAPE TOWN BEFORE OR AFTER THE RACE
FULL DAY CAPE PENINSULA TOUR (SC1) – $115 per person
Bring your camera and plenty of film; we're headed for Cape Point at the south western tip of the Cape
Peninsula, and the most spectacular views in the world. The drive there is just as inspiring, passing steep
mountains', secluded coves and sweeping beaches, as well as villages and fishing communities.
Our tour begins with a scenic drive along the Atlantic coast, passing through the cosmopolitan suburb of
Sea Point and Camps Bay with its glorious views of the Twelve Apostles, part of the Table Mountain range.
We'll continue to the fishing village of Hout Bay, one of Cape Town's best-kept secrets. Here there is an
option to take a short boat trip to Duiker Island (for own account & time permitting) to view the Cape Fur
Seals, which inhabit the island. From here we travel to the Cape Point Nature Reserve, comprising over
17,300 acres of indigenous fauna and flora. Here we can see a variety of wildlife that includes baboons,
rhebok, Cape Mountain zebra, bontebok and the elusive eland. The reserve is also one of the world's
largest breeding grounds for tortoises. Bird-watchers, too, will find many fine species to observe.
The majestic coastline offers drama worthy of being called "Nature's Greatest Show." We'll be able to see
the union of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans (as per legend), and may even feel the brisk wind that is
dubbed the "Cape Doctor" for its presumed curative powers. Following the coastline along False Bay, we'll
return to Cape Town by way of Simon's Town, where we visit the Penguin colony at Boulders Beach (for
own account), Fish Hoek fishing village and Muizenberg. Before our return, we'll stop at Kirstenbosch
National Botanical Gardens for a short walking tour of the beautiful gardens. We return to Cape Town,
passing the University of Cape Town, Rhodes Memorial and the Groote Schuur Hospital.
Departs daily at approx 09h00 and returns at approx 17h00

Arathusa Safari Lodge:
The African Safari is most often measured against "The Big Five" barometer. The Big Five is a group of animals including the lion, the leopard, the rhino, the elephant and the buffalo who earned their reputations as the most dangerous animals to be hunted on foot. The phrase "Big Five" was coined by hunters of yesteryear - before the advent of the photographic safari.
The traveller seeking the Big Five safari experience will certainly find it at Arathusa. With exceptional sightings of leopard (usually the most elusive of cats), lions and rhino in the field - a camera's viewfinder is continuously filled with close contact wildlife interactions. One need not leave the comfort of the camp to see massive herds of buffalo, and elephant families which gather at the water's edge.
No more than 20 guests are accommodated at Arathusa Safari Lodge. 10 thatched luxury suites each have a bathroom en-suite (with bath and separate indoor and outdoor showers), and a verandah for optimum enjoyment of the surrounding wilds. Twin rooms may also be arranged.
Fabrics are natural, the design simple and elegant.
Additional amenities include a mini bar (stocked with a selection of beverages), an electronic safe, hairdryer, air conditioning, mosquito net and tea/ coffee making facilities.
There are no telephones or televisions in the rooms at Arathusa. In keeping with the traditional safari experience, the bush is best experienced “al dente”. Guests are however able to make calls from the reception area, and to send or receive e-mails and faxes.
