In a few days you can add the Winelands, a safari and the Garden Route to the city. Here is how to plan the trip, with the routes and tours our guests book most. Where to go Cape Town: Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula, Robben Island and the V&A Waterfront. Allow at least three days. The Winelands: Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl, about 45 minutes away. A day trip or a night at a wine estate. A safari: the Big Five reserves of Aquila or Inverdoorn, two to three hours away, for a day or a night. The Garden Route: Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Tsitsikamma and, further east, Addo Elephant National Park. Allow at least three days, more if you want to reach Addo. Sample trips 2 days of private touring in Cape Town, from $405 per person 3 days: Cape Point, the penguins, Table Mountain and Robben Island, from $435 4 days: Cape Town and a night on safari at Inverdoorn, from $1,260 5-day shared Garden Route tour to Addo, from $795 8 days of private touring in Cape Town and the Garden Route, from $2,533 Accommodation and transport Our packages include accommodation, from guesthouses to luxury hotels, depending on the trip. For getting around you have two choices: self-drive with a rental car, or a guided tour where someone else drives. Roads are good, and self-drive suits confident drivers who like to stop wherever they want. A guided trip means you don't have to navigate or find parking, and the guide explains what you are seeing along the way. Activities Safaris: game drives in malaria-free reserves near Cape Town or on the Garden Route. Wine tasting: estates in Stellenbosch, Franschhoek, Paarl and Constantia. Outdoor activities: hiking, kayaking, shark cage diving and the Bloukrans bungee jump. See all our Cape Town tours and our guide to the Garden Route, or read our other travel guides. Frequently asked questions When is the best time to visit? Cape Town and the Winelands are warmest and driest from November to March. The Garden Route is green all year. Safaris near Cape Town are good all year, best from May to September. How much does a multi-day tour cost? Our multi-day trips from Cape Town start from about $400 per person for a 3-day city package, and from $795 for a 5-day Garden Route tour with accommodation. Should I self-drive or take a guided tour? Self-drive gives you freedom and costs less. A guided tour is more relaxed and you learn more along the way. Many people mix the two: guided days in Cape Town, then a self-drive along the Garden Route. --- [Read on Amity Adventure](https://www.amityadventure.com/blogs/south-africa-multi-day-tour-from-cape-town/)
