After glancing at images of the imposing blue shadow that Table Mountain seems to cast on the land and sea and today you will finally venture to the heights of one of the oldest mountains in the world. The mountain has stood fierce and proud, witnessing the turn of the earth for over eight hundred million years, its bones creak, its back is flat and its panoramic views are as arresting as you could ever imagine.

Take the cableway to the top and marvel at the revolving floors that allow you to glimpse the city and the sea from every angle. The ride to the top is exhilarating but once you step foot on the mountain you will be in love. Pick a trail that leads you through the sweet scented flora and takes you to the edge where you can peer down on Clifton and Camps Bay. Admire the rising spectacle of the 12 Apostles and on days when blue sky sweeps above you, you can even gaze out onto the drama of the Stellenbosch Mountain Range.

Your game drive will take you down tracks where lionesses snooze in the sun, through plains where antelope graze warily and through the shadow of verdant forests where vervet monkeys swing curiously watching from the branch.

Let healing hands usher you back to the world and cherish the unrivaled feeling of being deep in the depths of Africa.

Take afternoon tea in the shade before departing for your evening safari. As the sun shimmers and sinks like a mirage the wilderness seems to come to life in the cooling air. Cubs rouse their sleepy heads, lions pad across the dusty floor and a chorus of sounds seeps through the velvet darkness as yellowed eyes glint from the dimming light.

Who knows what pleasures the morning holds for you on today’s sunrise game drive, your driver and guide will show you how to follow the tracks and telltale signs that big cats, elephants and antelope have roamed in these parts. Trekking through the bush you never know what you will spring upon, perhaps a lion gnawing on a bone, a chattering group of monkeys, a hippo wallowing in the waters and a thousand and one flowers trodden underfoot to ooze their scent into the opening morning.

Pool Royal Malewane Style

In the afternoon you can sip cocktails beside the pool, read a book or even scribble in your journal or draw as you watch the light change and the day unspool over the grace and beauty of the Drakensberg Mountains.

Under the moonlight you can watch fireflies dance as you sip another glass of the finest New World wine. Let the chef prepare something exquisite as you lean over the table fascinated by the stories of life and death in the wild from your ranger and guide.
