This 12 day self drive journey takes you along the iconic Garden Route running across the south coast of South Africa. Beginning with city exploration in Cape Town for three nights and two nights in the famous Franschhoek, all of the hotels have been carefully selected for their reputation as well as their central location making them ideal to explore the cities by foot.
After visiting the Cape Peninsula, seeing the beautiful views of the city from Table Mountain and inspecting the wine estates of the Cape Winelands region, you will set off on the scenic Garden Route onto Oudshorrn, the ostrich farming capital of the Karroo. Here you will stay at De ZeeKoe Guest Farm, a working farm between the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains. We advise you book a tour to come up close and personal with the furry meerkats of nearby Meerkat Adventures, no relation to the Aleksandr European lineage of meerkats.
This trip is filled with opportunities to view wildlife in its natural habitat, including the wealth of marine life in the coastal haven of Plettenberg Bay while staying at Cottage Pie Guest House.
You will end this unforgettable holiday with a two day safari at the Kariega Game Reserve in the malaria free Eastern Cape. A wonderful way to experience South Africa’s famous wildlife and scenery, the reserve offers twice daily game drives to see the Big Five alongside an array of activities to truly immerse yourself in and learn about this beautiful countryside. Our South Africa experts have devised the perfect mix of cosmopolitan city fun with thrilling wildlife adventure, showing you the best of what South Africa’s has to offer.
