The adventure

South Africa doesn’t need an intro, but this 10-day Solo-ish adventure is one you'll want to hear about. We know going on safari solo can be a bit daunting, but with this trip, you’ll be joining a crew of like-minded explorers just as excited to roam as you are. Start in Cape Town, hitting all the must-sees like Table Mountain and Boulders Beach — with a special G surprise, of course. Then, it’s off to the wild East for a few epic days in Kruger National Park, spotting the Big Five and more. Ready to make some wild memories?

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 at SEED, a Planeterra Project community garden where you will enjoy a workshop and listen to stories before having a delicious, locally sourced meal.

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. Depart for the Cape Peninsula, with a quick stop at St James along the way to see the colourful beach huts and take some photos, 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.

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.
