The Garden Route is a little piece of heaven tucked away on the East Coast of South Africa. Our 4 day tour incorporates the highlights of the area along with the splendid scenery. This is perfect for those who don’t have much time but wish to experience the famous Garden Route along with many of its activities.
Depart Cape Town at 6am and head up to Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo semi desert area, which also is the ostrich capital of the World. This drive follows the world-famous Route 62 which is the longest wine route in the world! We’ll visit the Cango Caves for a tour through this magnificent cave system and also visit an ostrich farm for a closer look at this enormous bird. Tonight, we’ll stay in Oudtshoorn and have a delicious Local dish for dinner. (Dinner)
Leaving Oudtshoorn we’ll cross the mountain range to the coast and the gorgeous Garden Route. Our first stop is the scenic ‘map of Africa‘ lookout in the Wilderness and then we’re off to Knysna (consistently voted as South Africa’s favourite town). Here we will visit the Knysna Heads, Waterfront, markets and explore thoroughly. After Knysna we pass through Plettenberg Bay! We also stop at the World Highest Bungee Bridge (at 216 meters!) where we overnight in Storms River Village. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Today we head through to Tsitsikamma National Park for a hike to the ever famous Storms River mouth – walk on the recently finished Hanging Bridge, where we can take a dip in the Indian Ocean!! From here we head to the Garden Route Game Lodge where we can enjoy a Big 5 sunset game drive, fantastic buffet dinner and hot spring under the stars. We’ll also overnight in their award winning chalets. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Early morning Game drive to see some animals you perhaps didn’t see the evening before followed by a scrumptious breakfast! . Around 10Am, we make our way to Hermanus, which is famous for being the best land-based whale watching site (in season) in the world and is a beautiful little town with wonderful cliffside walks. Making our way back towards Cape Town, our last stop is at Stony Point where we visit the local penguin Colony – making our way back with spectacular views over False Bay. (Breakfast)
