Signal Hill Cape Town is a flat-topped hill that is situated next to Lion’s Head, forming part of Table Mountain. This is where the famous
Noon Gun is fired every day at 12h00 on the dot. It’s also where you can enjoy some of the best views in the city, fly model planes, try
some paragliding or simply enjoy a bit of nature. It’s sometimes called Lion’s Rump, and, together with Lion’s Head, this part of the
mountain resembles a sleeping lion or a sphinx. This viewing point got its name from its position high above the peninsula. Signal flags
were used to communicate weather warnings to ships below. Ships in distress meanwhile could also use flags to signal for help.

Around 600 million years old, and a canvas painted with the rich diversity of the Cape floral kingdom, Table Mountain is truly iconic. You
can admire the showstopper of Table Mountain National Park and one of the 'New 7 Wonders of Nature' from multiple angles, but you
really can’t say you’ve visited Cape Town until you’ve stood on top of it. Stretching from Signal Hill to Cape Point, this 220-sq-km park is
a natural wonder, its range of environments including granite and Sandstone Mountains, giant-boulder-strewn beaches and shady
forests. For the vast majority of visitors, the main attraction is the 1086m-High Mountain itself, the top of which can easily be accessed
by the cableway, which runs every 10 to 20 minutes.

Honeymoon Package 2019 - Tourvest DMC
Check Out & Car Rental
After breakfast, guests will check out and take collection of their rental vehicle before departing to The Cape Winelands.

Venturing inland and upwards from Cape Town you’ll find the Boland, meaning ‘upland’. It’s a superb wine-producing area, and indeed
the best known in South Africa. The magnificent mountain ranges around Stellenbosch and Franschhoek provide ideal microclimates for
the vines. There’s been colonial settlement here since the latter half of the 17th century, when the Dutch first founded Stellenbosch and
the French Huguenots settled in Franschhoek. Both towns pride themselves on their innovative young chefs, many based at wine
estates, and the region has become the mainspring of South African cuisine. Along with Paarl, these towns make up the core of the
Winelands, but there are many more wine-producing places to explore. Pretty Tulbagh, with its many historical buildings, is known for
MCC (Méthode Cap Classique – the local version of Champagne), and Robertson's scattered wineries offer unpretentious, family-
friendly places to taste.

Check In |
On arrival at the hotel, guests will check in and spend the rest of their day exploring the Winelands.

At the centre of Stellenbosch’s collection of shops and eateries on Church Street, this boutique heritage hotel is a gem for both
character and convenience. A newer extension complements the classic façade, and it’s delightfully quirky within too. Think chandeliers,
mismatched chairs and colourful prints in a blend of old and new. Eco-conscious travellers will also be pleased with the hotel’s efforts to
recycle waste, generate solar energy and preserve a tree in building the extension – which takes pride of place in the middle of the
restaurant and shoots through the roof. The hotel is minutes from the town’s plentiful amenities, but the ambience here is easily suited to
spending a few hours with a book and a coffee in the courtyard for longer stays or after exploring town

Dinner |
Tonight, guests will enjoy a delicious 3 course dinner at the hotel.

Commonly known as Jo’burg or Jozi, this rapidly changing city is the vibrant heart of South Africa. After almost 20 years of decline and
decay, Johannesburg is now looking optimistically towards the future. Its centre is smartening up and new loft apartments and office
developments are being constructed at a rapid pace. The hipster-friendly neighbourhood of Maboneng is considered one of the most
successful urban-renewal projects in the world. In addition to the attractions in Johannesburg, there are also several activities to enjoy
during your romantic break in Johannesburg. Jo’burg is an incredibly friendly, unstuffy city and there’s a lot to see and do here. The city
is awash with superb museums, mostly offering deep insight into South Africa's troubled past such as the Apartheid Museum. Delve in
and experience the buzz of a city undergoing an incredible rebirth.

Arrive Johannesburg |
On arrival at O R Tambo International Airport, guests will be met by an English, German or Italian Speaking representative guide from
Tourvest DMC who will assist the guests to their touring vehicle.

Full Day Touring |
The guests will spend the day touring with their English, German or Italian guide and will visit such places like The Apartheid Museum,
Constitution Hill, The Hector Pieterson Memorial and the Regina Mundi Church.
Honeymoon Package 2019 - Tourvest DMC
The Apartheid Museum illustrates the rise and fall of South Africa’s era of segregation and oppression, and is an absolute must-see. It
uses a broad variety of media to provide a chilling insight into the architecture and implementation of the apartheid system, as well as
inspiring stories of the struggle towards democracy. It’s invaluable in understanding the inequalities and tensions that still exist today. To
do the museum justice schedule 1½ to two hours here. The sheer volume of information can make it an overwhelming experience;
particularly distressing is a small chamber in which hang 131 nooses, representative of the 131 government opponents who were
executed under antiterrorism laws.

Situated in the heart of Johannesburg, Constitution Hill is a living museum that tells the story of South Africa’s transition from colonialism
and apartheid to democracy, with all the pain, pathos and catharsis that such a journey entails. The site served as a prison and briefly as
a military fort for 100 years, incarcerating men, women and even children within its walls. The sites of these museums – the Old Fort, the
Women's Jail and Number Four – are juxtaposed against profound symbols of human rights, democracy and constitutionalism, making
the site a place of remembrance and redemption. Our Highlights Tour is an hour long and alternates each hour, visiting the Women's
Jail, Number Four and the Constitutional Court one hour, and the Old Fort, Number Four and the Constitutional Court the next. After the
tour, you are welcome to explore the rest of the precinct on your own.

The museum is located on 8288 Khumalo Street, Orlando West (Soweto). The museum is named after one of the first casualties. But
commerates all of those that marched through Soweto and shot at by police ont he 16 June, 1976! Which has now become Youth Day,
a public holiday in South Africa. The museum is next to the Hector Pieterson Memorial, and the whole area has been declared a national
heritage site. Visitors move along a series of ramps and look through strategically placed windows at important scenes - including
Orlando Stadium and the police station - and view exhibits such as television footage of the uprising and contains a moving collection of
oral testimonies, pictures, audiovisual displays and historical documents relating to the events of 1976.
Honeymoon Package 2019 - Tourvest DMC
Regina Mundi Catholic Church is located in the township of Soweto in the suburb of Moroka. The church forms part of the rich history of
Soweto and is the largest Catholic church in South Africa – able to seat 2 000 people, with standing room for 5 000. The church played a
major role in the struggle for freedom and is one of the historic tourist attractions in South Africa. Regina Mundi is Latin for “Queen of the
World” and is in reference to the Virgin Mary. The official opening of the church, on the July 24 1962, was presided over by Johannes
Baptista Montini, a cardinal of Milan.

During the apartheid era the Regina Mundi church opened its doors to anti-apartheid groups and provided shelter to anti-apartheid
activists. Because of the refuge it offered Regina Mundi is often referred to as ‘the people’s church’ or ‘the people’s cathedral’. During
the 1976 student uprisings in Soweto many protesting students fled to Regina Mundi to escape the police bullets and teargas canisters.
The police followed the students into the church, firing live ammunition and damaging the marble altar and crucifix. These bullet holes
can still be seen today.

Italian Guide.

Hazyview is situated in the Kruger Lowveld region of Mpumalanga in South Africa, and is known as the gateway to the southern part of
the Kruger National Park and the Panorama Escarpment. The name Hazyview is said to relate to the haze that forms over the town
during the hot summer months. Established in 1959 when the post office was built, Hazyview is a popular tourist stop-over for those

Italian Guide via the Panorama Route.

One of the country's most scenic self, the Panorama Route, explores the Mpumalanga highlands, or the north-eastern section of the
Great Escarpment of the Drakensberg. In these rugged mountains the plateau comes to an abrupt and dramatic halt, falling steeply
away into the Lowveld accompanied by incredible views out over the grasslands of Africa. To describe the natural attractions with the
written word is difficult, but people recount being able to 'touch the clouds' whilst others have called the route the 'most beautiful place in
the world'.

Blyde River Canyon |
The 29 000 hectare Blyde River Nature Reserve rests against the Greater Drakensberg escarpment and preserves not only the canyon
but other natural wonders of Mpumalanga as well – Bourke's Luck Potholes, the Three Rondavels, Pinnacle Rock, and the Devil's and
God's Window.

Pilgrims Rest |
Pilgrim's Rest is situated on the magnificent Panorama Route on the eastern Escarpment region of the Mpumalanga province of South
Africa. The entire town of Pilgrim’s rest has been declared a national monument. Here, visitors can relive the days of the old Transvaal
gold rush.

The Three Rondavels |
Exactly as they sound, the Three Rondavels are three round mountain tops with slightly pointed tops, very similar to the traditional round
or oval African homesteads made with local materials called rondavels. They are sometimes also called the Three Sisters (although this
confuses them with a similar threesome visible from the N1 in the Free State lower down in the country).

Check In |
After the Panorama Route, guests will continue with their English, German or Italian Guide to Makalali Main Lodge to check in and arrive
in time for the Afternoon Safari.

                                     BLUE TRAIN CAPE TOWN TO PRETORIA OPTIONAL ADD ON

As time meandered from the 19th Century towards the dawn of the new era, a dream was born. A dream of harnessing steam
technology to link Africa’s vast south to north, around the awe-inspiring mountain ranges that dot the continent, through the apparently
arid desert landscapes, over untamed savannah grasslands teeming with wildlife. From the Cape all the way to Cairo… all of this on
parallel lines of tempered steel. It is from this dream that The Blue Train was born. Cairo was never to be, but the dreamers persevered
and The Blue Train now traverses South Africa and its breath-taking scenery in a manner that befits the mystique that has grown around
it.

Kings and presidents have indulged on this magnificent, moving five-star “hotel-on-wheels”. From love-struck honeymooners, to
adulated celebrities. And even ordinary folk who fantasize about a life of spectacular luxury, a life that has seemed tantalizingly out of
reach. Until now…

Welcome aboard The Blue Train. Your unforgettable experience is about to begin…
