Itinerary

Day 1 – Overberg, Garden Route, Myoli Beach

We leave the mother city behind and head east along the N2 past Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa to a Private Game Reserve on the edge of the Garden Route. Here we go on a safari where you can see Lion, Buffalo, Elephant, Rhino, Cheetah and Giraffe in their natural habitat. After lunch we will enjoy some fun with a canopy tour, experience the thrill of crossing rope bridges, wobbly crossings and zip wires high up in the trees. Next we carry on our way to Sedgefield.

Travel time: ±5 hrs

Included Highlight: Game Drive Safari

Optional Activities: Treetop Adventure and Zipline (seasonal – excl winter)

Day 2 – Garden Route, Knysna, Tsitsikamma

We begin our day with a visit to a popular local farmers and craft market in the village. We then make our way to an Elephant Sanctuary for orphaned elephants where you learn about these gentle giants, or we visit a Monkey Sanctuary where rescued monkeys roam free in a large jungle area. Our next stop is always one of the highlights of the tour…  the Bloukrans River Bridge, home to the World’s highest commercial Bungy Jump at 216 meters!

Day 3 – Little Karoo, Oudtshoorn, return to Cape Town via Route 62

We head over the Outeniqua Mountains to the Town of Oudtshoorn, known as the “Ostrich Capital of the world”. Here we visit the Cango Caves to go on either an adventure or standard tour through some very large chambers with spectacular limestone formations that are millions of years old. If you chose the adventure tour be prepared to start squeezing through some very tight spaces.  If caves are not for you, then you will be able to visit the Cango Endangered Wildlife Ranch, home to many local and exotic endangered species.  We then start heading home along the scenic Route 62 through the Klein Karoo.
