It's looking like I'm doing a South African FAM in April - here is the proposed itinerary for me. What do you think Aero?

April 5 - Arrive Cape Town, South Africa
On arrival you are met and transferred to your hotel. The remainder of the day is at leisure to explore the nearby craft market, shops, restaurants or Two Oceans Aquarium. Meet your fellow tour members at a welcome dinner tonight. Mount Nelson Hotel D

April 6 - Cape Town
The view of Cape Town is breathtaking from atop Table Mountain. Begin your tour here, and then stroll through Bo Kaap, the historic Malay Quarter. Visit the Company's Gardens and the eclectic shops and restaurants along the vibrant Victoria & Alfred Waterfront. The remainder of the afternoon is at leisure before dinner and a site inspection at the Cape Grace. Mount Nelson Hotel B, D

April 7 - Cape Town/Cape Point
Drive south from Cape Town to the very end of the striking Cape Peninsula, ultimately arriving at Cape Point, where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. After lunch in the sleepy fishing village of Kalk Bay, return to Cape Town via scenic Boyes Drive. Mount Nelson Hotel B, L

April 8 - Cape Town/Cape Winelands
Explore the Cape Winelands, South Africa's premier wine-producing region. With the Hottentots-Holland Mountains in the background, ramble through Stellenbosch to admire the graceful Cape Dutch-style houses and the Village Museum. Stop at a private wine estate for a tour of the cellars and a wine tasting. Drive to Franschhoek for lunch and a site inspection at Lanzerac before continuing to the Mont Rochelle Hotel.

April 10 - Lion Sands Private Game Reserve
View game from open 4x4 Land Rovers, go on a walking safari, bird watch or try freshwater river fishing. A team of qualified rangers and an ecologist conduct informative lectures to complement your game viewing. You can even learn to track lion. Lion Sands River Lodge B, L, D

April 11 - Lion Sands Private Game Reserve/Johannesburg/Depart
