Garden Route & Beyond

Head into the Karoo Desert via Route 62. Our first stop is Africa's largest cave system. Explore the limestone formations, cave paintings, and cellar-like chambers. Then travel to Oudtshoorn, the 'Ostrich Capital of the World'.

Travel to Addo Elephant Park in search of Africa's most iconic animals. See the elephants roaming the plains before continuing to the port city of Gqeberha where we'll head out for some beers with the gang.

Enjoy a leisurely start to the morning before heading off to the Eastern Cape, home to some of the best wildlife viewing opportunities in South Africa. Whether you feel like a morning or afternoon game drive (or both!), you're welcome to choose either of these optional activities for a chance of spotting Africa's Big Five animals. Back in Gqeberha, a free night of karaoke and drinks awaits!

Continue on the Garden Route, stopping off at Jeffreys Bay, a golden beach with incredible surf. Chill on the sands and ride the rollers, before journeying to Tsitsikamma National Park for a scenic hike. Opt to explore Storms River by kayak before finishing the day in Knysna.

After breakfast overlooking the Knysna Lagoon, head to the white sands of Plettenberg Bay, one of South Africa's finest. Bliss out on the beach and see whales and dolphins on an optional marine safari. Back in Knysna, visit a local township, before a night on the town.

Today's journey is a scenic one as we drive along the glorious Garden Route, passing from coast to coast. We'll stop in a seaside town called Hermanus and enjoy some free time here. Then it's time to visit a secluded penguin colony spot, which may just be one of the most adorable sights you'll ever see! Tonight, we'll head out to Cape Town's stunning V&A Waterfront, where you're free to grab dinner with your friends and get a taste of the local nightlife.

If there is one thing that South Africa is famous for (other than its breathtaking wildlife!), it has to be all the delicious wines you can try. You're welcome to explore the scenic town of Stellenbosch's cafes and shops at your own pace today, or come along on an optional wine-sampling tour. Tonight's another chance for you to freely explore Cape Town, or why not practice your chef skills with an optional cooking class?

Today's all about experiencing the beautiful highlights of Cape Town, starting with an optional cable car ride up to the top of Table Mountain. From there, we'll go on a guided city tour around the rainbow streets of Bo-Kaap before finishing up at the V&A Waterfront. Our trip officially finishes at midday today. Until next time!
