Your adventure begins when you leave Cape Town and travel along Cape Route 62 – a scenic alternative to the highway.

After stopping off at the town of Barrydale for lunch, you’ll continue on to Oudtshoorn – known as the ostrich capital of the world. Visit an ostrich farm for a guided tour and see some of the huge flightless birds. You’ll check into your stylish accommodation in the late afternoon before enjoying an elegant dinner.

Surval Boutique Olive Estate (Dinner and Breakfast included)

This morning you’ll enjoy a tour of the Cango Caves – considered to be one of the natural wonders of the world. Situated at the foot of the Swartberg mountain range, the extensive network of illuminated limestone chambers is linked by a series of tunnels which run for about four kilometres, although only a quarter of this is open to visitors.

Your journey continues to the charming town of Knysna. Set beside a sparkling blue lagoon – and considered the gem of the Garden Route – you’ll enjoy some time at leisure at the Knysna Waterfront.

At the pretty coastal fishing town of Plettenberg Bay, you’ll take a cruise up the tranquil Keurbooms River before arriving at your lodge where you’ll spend the next two nights. There’s time to freshen up and relax before dinner.

Hunter’s Country House (Breakfast included)

Today you’ll travel to Plettenberg Bay for a visit to Birds of Eden –  the largest free-flight bird aviary in the world. Birds of Eden created a safe environment in which to release a large collection of free-flight African birds and the sanctuary also enables bird owners to apply to release their pet birds into the sanctuary, after undergoing rehabilitation.

Hunter’s Country House (Breakfast included)

After breakfast and checking-out of your lodge, you’ll take the final leg of the Garden Route to Tsitsikamma National Park.

Tsitsikamma is an utterly spectacular area, with a wealth of unspoilt natural beauty, from thundering rivers to deep ravines, and lush forests to rocky shoreline. Take a hike along trails through the fine coastal and mountain fynbos or cross the suspension bridge which spans the churning Storms River mouth. And you may spot dolphins or Southern Right whales out to sea, as well as baboons, monkeys, antelope and plenty of birdlife within the park.

On leaving Tsitsikamma, you’ll head to Port Elizabeth where your tour ends and you’ll be dropped-at your chosen hotel or the airport.
