Itinerary
Day 1: Dinner Party: Cape Town
Welcome to Cape Town. Enjoy an included arrival transfer to the start hotel and take some time to freshen up and get settled. After an afternoon welcome briefing with your CEO and new Solo-ish travel mates, attend a hands-on, intimate cooking experience with the whole group in the hillside neighbourhood of Bo-Kaap.
Day 2: We Day: Cape Town
Today is all about Cape Town. First the group and CEO will enjoy a cable car ride up to the top of the city's iconic Table Mountain. Soak in the views that locals and visitors alike rave about, and set your sights on landmarks like Lion's Head, Signal Hill, Table Bay, and Devil's Peak. Explore some of the hiking trails at the top before returning to the base via cable car. In the afternoon attend a farm-to-table experience in a community garden where you will enjoy a workshop and listen to stories before having a delicious, locally sourced meal.
Day 3: G Day: Cape Town
Get ready for what G does best and enjoy a day of the must-see sites and highlights of Cape Town with a surprise G twist occurring somewhere along the way. Start in the multicultural Bo-Kaap area for a historic walk amid the colourful houses, then head to Kalk Bay for the charm of this fishing village where mussel shells used to be farmed to make chalk. Boulders Beach is next where you'll hop into a kayak to paddle with the penguins. The remainder of the day is focused on various viewpoints and lookout spots around Cape Town and who knows where you just might end up to cap off G Day.
Day 4: Me Day: Cape Town
It's time for a day that belongs to you! After three immersive days, Cape Town might be feeling familiar and you're likely ready to take on some exploration by yourself. From museums to hikes, or perhaps a wine tour to the nearby vineyards, there's no shortage of options. And you can decide to be as alone or social as you choose for the best of both worlds. If you'd like to spend time with your incredible CEO, choose to join her on a visit to Kirstenbosch National Botanical Garden.
Day 5: Cape Town to Kruger
You'll feel simultaneously sad and excited to be leaving Cape Town for the next leg of this Solo-ish adventure. Board a flight to Kruger where the safari portion begins. After arriving at your accommodations in this wild area, you will enjoy a safari drive for a glimpse of the resident animals as the day winds down.
Day 6: Kruger Area
Rise with the bright African savanna sun for an included bush walk near the lodge to get up close and personal with the nature that surrounds you. Spend the remainder of the day on your own with time for optional activities through the lodge, or to be alone amid the grandness of this iconic area. In the evening, gather together for a bush dinner in the fresh, open air.
Day 7: Kruger National Park
Travel into the untamed Big 5 Reserve of Kruger National Park to your tented safari camp. Embark on wildlife drives through the park and enjoy time to participate in the various activities near the camp on your own like, horse trails or an aerial cable along the Sabie River.
Day 8: Kruger National Park
Spend a final day in the tented camp area. Participate in safari drives, bush walks, nearby ziplining, or simply relax in your serene surroundings and take time for yourself. Whether that be writing, reading, meditating, or simply listening to the lively sounds of Kruger National Park, the choice belongs to you. Gather for a group dinner at camp in the evening.
Day 9: Kruger National Park/Johannesburg
Take advantage of some time this morning to say your good-byes to the beautiful savanna and leave Kruger for Johannesburg. In the evening, gather with your CEO and Solo-ish friends for an optional farewell dinner in Johannesburg.
Day 10: Johannesburg
You arrived a solo traveller and are leaving with many new friends. Say goodbye to your fellow Solo-ish travellers and depart at any time.
