Itinerary
Arrive at Cape Town Airport where a friendly and knowledgeable African Safari Guru representative will be waiting to welcome and greet you. Look out for a sign with your 'Name'.
A short shuttle from Cape Town Airport and you are at Ocean View House, where you'll be welcomed and taken to your beach villa suite.
Ocean View House is located in a prime position on Cape Town’s Atlantic coast; close to the famous Camps Bay with its bar’s restaurants and beautiful beach, but far enough to be an oasis of peace and serenity. With the most breathtaking views of the Atlantic Ocean spread out before you and the 12 Apostle Mountains standing watch behind you, it is not surprising that all the rooms at Ocean View House enjoy amazing vistas.
Spend the day at your own leisure. Explore the nightlife in and around Cape Town City or perhaps visit the V&A Waterfront where there is time to shop and experience the many restaurants on offer.
