The Garden Route

On this 7 day / 6 night accommodated tour, you depart Cape Town, and drive to Stellenbosch via the Spier Wine Estate where you visit the Cheetah Breeding Centre before some excellent wine tasting a little later in the day. On clear days the magnificent mountain scenery makes for a memorable first day. On arrival at your accommodation stop for the night, your guides will brief you on what to expect from the days ahead.

The next day, you travel along the famous Route 62 towards Oudtshoorn and, time permitting, stop at Ronnie’s Sex Shop, not a sex shop at all, but a rather interesting country pub! You also take a guided tour of the Cango Caves, and have the opportunity to visit an Ostrich farm later in the afternoon (optional), before arriving at your Oudtshoorn accommodation.

On Day 3, you continue along the Garden Route and travel through the magnificent Outeniqua Mountains towards Knysna. Your afternoon is free to explore Knysna, one of South Africa’s most popular seaside towns.

Day 4 and 5, you explore one of South Africa’s best-kept secrets - the Tsitsikamma National Park. Boasting exceptional hiking trails and superb coastal scenery Tsitsikamma is a destination that many people will return to. The first few hours of the famous Otter Trail Hike are included in your Activity Package. For those needing an adrenaline boost the nearby Bloukraans Bridge is home to the world’s highest bungee jump at 212m!

On Day 6, you continue your journey into the Eastern Cape, and enter the Addo Elephant National Park, which is home to many of Africa’s big game. The truck gives you an elevated view on your game drive this afternoon, particularly for those photographic enthusiasts.

On your last day, after an early morning game drive in Addo, you depart the National Park and drive to Port Elizabeth Airport where your tour will end.
