Day by Day Overview
Arrival in Cape Town, where we’ll pick you up from the airport and transfer you to our accommodation. After settling in and meeting the group, we’ll have sundowners on Signal Hill; sip a glass of wine while watching and photographing the sunset from this beautiful spot.
We’ll have an early start to make use of the warm light at dawn and enjoy a sunrise photography session in one of Cape Town’s iconic neighborhoods. Afterwards, we’ll spend the afternoon on top of Table Mountain, where you’ll get far-reaching views of the city and its stunning natural surroundings. There will also be opportunity to explore the V&A Waterfront, a vibrant harbour area with colourful markets, shops and restaurants.
After an introduction to the Heart of a Woman program by Andrea, we’ll spend several days in Khayelitsha, Cape Town’s largest township, to work with a group of women in helping them take better pictures to promote the humanitarian work they are doing in their community. At the end of one of the days, we’ll treat you to a sunset photography session at St James Beach, which has an iconic row of colourful beach huts.
We’ll visit several nonprofit organisations and you’ll have the opportunity to document their work and donate your images to these organisations which they can then use for their communication and fundraising purposes. It’s a great way of giving worthwhile causes some visual aids to promote their work and gain support.
We’ll enjoy a full-day trip to the Cape of Good Hope, a rocky promontory that forms the southern tip of the Cape Peninsula. On the way there, we’ll drive over Chapman’s Peak (a stunning coastal road carved out of a mountain), visit the penguin colony in Simon’s Town and enjoy some game viewing through Cape Point National Park. We’ll treat everyone to a final dinner.
You’ll be transferred you back to the airport for your onward flight.
