Sembach Gallery
This morning we head to the fishing village of Hout Bay for a visit to Sembach Gallery (open on weekends and by appointment only on weekdays). Sophisticated artworks with exquisite style and contemporary beauty by some of the most talented South African Artists are showcased here. In response to the gallery owner's passions and commitment to the upliftment of individual artists and communities, they have invited Intle Art to share their space, enabling aspiring and disadvantaged young artists in Hout Bay to develop artistic and entrepreneurial skills.

Noordhoek Farm Village
Travel via Chapman's Peak Drive (provided the road is open), one of the most spectacular marine drives in the world. At Noordhoek we make a stop at the Noordhoek Farm Village to appreciate the unique local South African handmade craft.

Kalk Bay Modern & Artvark Gallery
Continue to Kalk Bay Modern which holds one of the largest collections of contemporary San art from South Africa, Namibia and Botswana and also offers a unique selection of fine art prints, oil paintings, photography, ceramics and its own range of Art-I-San textiles (previously known as Ekoka textiles). Just a short 5 minute walk further, you will find Artvark Gallery - a classic and contemporary gallery with a keen eye for folk art, specialising in unique custom-made steel works amongst other disciplines. It has been a long-time favourite of Cape Town art lovers and tourists.

The Norval Foundation
End the day with a visit to the Norval Foundation which is a centre for art and cultural expression, dedicated to the research and exhibition of 20th- and 21st-century visual art from South Africa and beyond. Located in the Steenberg area of Cape Town, adjacent to Table Mountain National Park, the Norval Foundation combines the experience of art with an appreciation for nature. The Sculpture Garden, outdoor amphitheatre, purpose-built exhibition spaces and research library are situated in a unique setting that offers visitors a multisensory experience.
