Explore the great houses, gardens, and landscapes of South Africa’s Cape through an immersive journey that traces more than 250 years of architectural, artistic, and horticultural history. Centered in Cape Town and extending into the Constantia and Stellenbosch wine regions, this tour offers privileged access to Cape Dutch manor houses, historic estates, renowned botanical gardens, and exceptional private gardens. From the legacy of the Dutch East India Company to the refined estates of later colonial families, and from Kirstenbosch’s celebration of indigenous flora to beautifully preserved werfs and vineyards, the program reveals how European traditions and extraordinary local biodiversity combined to create one of the world’s most distinctive cultural landscapes.
