Tips

To extend the trip, add an extra day in Cape Town for a whale‑watching tour in Hermanus (seasonal) or spend a night in the Garden Route. If you need to shorten the itinerary, combine Day 4 (Winelands) with Day 5 (Kirstenbosch) into a single day, and replace the Cradle of Humankind excursion with a shorter visit to the Johannesburg Zoo, which is more baby‑friendly.
