Follow the extraordinary Garden Route for the chance to spot the Big 5 on a thrilling safari.

Days 1 - Day 4 (Cape Town)

Cape Town

Africa's southernmost city is a proud and picturesque destination on South Africa's Cape Peninsula. Dominated by Table Mountain, Cape Town's immediately recognisable skyline welcomes you to an intriguing and eclectic city full of distinct neighbourhoods. Discover a unique mix of cultures, acclaimed restaurants, fascinating museums and a vibrant beachfront cafe culture. Sightseers may want to join a city tour to help get their bearings, or head out on the water to Robben Island, the former island-prison that is now an informative monument to the country's troubled past.

Accommodation: Portswood Hotel

INCLUDES : Breakfast

Days 1 - Day 4 (Cape Town)

Sea Kayaking & Cape Point

Sea Kayaking & Cape Point

Embark on a sea kayaking experience from the Waterfront. Paddle past the civilian and Naval Harbour and out to Boulders Beach. After visiting the penguins you stop (time & tide permitting) on a lovely semi-private beach for refreshments, swimming and snorkelling (equipment provided).

Travel to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve. Enjoy the breath-taking views from Cape Point Lighthouse and travel to the most South-Western point of Africa, the Cape of Good Hope. In the late afternoon, drive along the coastal route via Noordhoek, Chapman’s Peak Drive, Hout Bay and the Atlantic Seaboard back to your city based hotel.

Day 5: Stellenbosch

Stellenbosch

It is time to leave the city behind and head toward another of South Africa's most famous attractions: its wine. South Africa's winelands produce some of the world's best wine but this is not just a destination for wine connoisseurs. Beginners can learn the basics at a wine and cheese tutorial, while foodies will be enthralled by the food scene. All this is set amid a backdrop of stunning mountain scenery and some beautiful Cape Dutch architecture.

Accommodation: Oude Werf Hotel

INCLUDES : Breakfast

Day 5: Stellenbosch

Day 6: Oudtshoorn

Oudtshoorn

Depart the winelands via a scenic mountain pass on your drive into the famous Karoo. The lush, verdant vineyards give way to the stark beauty of this semi-desert region that is dotted by sheep and ostrich farms. Upon arrival into Oudtshoorn pay a visit to one of the ostrich farms or perhaps the nearby Cango Caves where stalactites and stalagmites create an amazing underground adventure.

Accommodation: Le Plume Guest House

INCLUDES : Breakfast

Day 6: Oudtshoorn

Days 7 - 8: Witfontein

Oudtshoorn to Knysna

Depart Oudtshoorn and drive south, through the Witfonein Nature Reserve and on to the world famous Garden Route.

Head out onto the lagoon or spend the afternoon relaxing at your hotel and enjoying ocean vistas.

Accommodation: Protea Hotel

Days 7 - 8: Witfontein

Day 9: Knysna to Eastern Cape Safari

Knysna to Eastern Cape Safari

Today's scenic journey takes you through the remainder of the Garden Route. Plan some time to stop in the beautiful Tsitsikamma National Park, or the more daring visitor may be tempted to try the world's highest fixed bungee jump from the Storm's River Bridge! Leave plenty of time to get to your game reserve by early afternoon so you can take advantage of the first day's game drive and your first safari experience.

Accommodation: Kariega Main Lodge

INCLUDES : Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner

Day 9: Knysna to Eastern Cape Safari

Days 10 - 11: Eastern Cape Safari

Eastern Cape Safari

Life in a safari game reserve offers excitement and relaxation in equal measure. Amid the stunning and remote scenery of the Eastern Cape you will wake up at dawn for the fresh morning game drive. Your expert driver and guide will search for the Big 5 at this magical time when the bush animals are waking up.

After the morning drive enjoy a hearty breakfast before taking time to relax and enjoy the facilities of the lodge.  After lunch head out on the afternoon drive as the wildlife comes back out to eat after the midday sun. Your game drive culminates with the most welcome of South African traditions of having a sundowner whilst overlooking the incredible scenery. Return to the lodge for a delicious evening meal, sharing stories with fellow guests, before retiring for a well-deserved night's sleep.
