7 Day Scenic Garden Route Safari

  [Breakfast = B / Lunch = L / Dinner = D]

Day 1
Cape Town to Swellendam. This Garden Route Tour starts from Cape Town and we head through the Wine lands to Swellendam. Nestling at the foot of the Langeberg Mountains, Swellendam has much to offer visitors who have an interest in history, nature and outdoor activities. On our way we visit the Bontebok National Park, which is home to a variety of antelope. The Park offers much more for nature lovers, from a diversity of indigenous animal life to over 200 remarkable bird species. [D]

Day 2
Oudtshoorn. Oudtshoorn is situated in the Klein Karoo 55 kilometres from the large coastal town of George. This town with its wide open spaces and broad streets is the capital of the Klein Karoo. Warm, dry summers and sunny winter days make it the ideal breeding ground for the most majestic of flightless birds - synonymous with Oudtshoorn - the ostrich. We then head to visit the breathtaking Cango Caves after a stop at the Aloe Factory in Albertinia. [BD]

Day 3-4
Knysna. We make our way to Knysna, where we spend the next two days. Several optional activities like the Geatherbed Nature Reserve, sunset lagoon cruise, canoeing, or the well-known Outeniqua Choo-Tjoe Train are awaiting you in this beautiful coastal town as well as a visit to Monkeyland and whale watching in season.

Day 5
Tsitsikamma National Park. Our next highlight is the Tsitsikamma National Park, where we take our time and explore the lush scenery while hiking. Where the booming breakers of the Indian Ocean relentlessly pound rocky shores, where temperate high forest and fynbos roll down to the sea in an unspoilt verdant carpet, where ancient rivers carve their paths to the ocean down rocky ravines. This, "the place of much water", is the Tsitsikamma National Park. [BD]

Day 6
Addo Elephant Park. We head towards Addo Elephant Park with a lunch stop at the world famous surf spot Jeffrey's Bay. We enjoy an afternoon game drive in the park. Deep within the shadows of the dense valley bushveld of the Sundays River region of the Eastern Cape lies the Addo Elephant National Park. The original Elephant section of the park was proclaimed in 1931, when only eleven elephants remained in the area - today this finely tuned ecosystem is sanctuary to over 420 elephants, 450 Cape buffalo, black rhino, a variety of antelope species, as well as the unique flightless dung beetle, found almost exclusively in Addo.

Day 7
Port Elizabeth. After a morning game drive in the Addo Elephant Park, your guide will take you to Port Elisabeth, where our tour ends. [B]
