The experience
Diamonds & Gardens
The most unhurried of our days. After the morning's diamonds you arrive at Kirstenbosch, one of the great botanical gardens of the world, set against the eastern slopes of Table Mountain.
There is time to wander, and to walk the Boomslang canopy walkway through the treetops. After lunch the day drifts on to a Constantia wine estate for a tasting, before an easy drive back to your hotel.

Each day includes time with diamonds in Cape Town: how they are found, cut and set, the craftsmanship behind a finished stone, and time to look closely in a showroom.
Buying is never part of the plan. If something catches your eye, you deal directly with the jeweller, and nothing you see is included in the tour price.

- Hotel collection and return within central Cape Town
- The Diamond Works' complimentary Signature Diamond & Tanzanite Experience, by appointment
- Kirstenbosch entry
