Why we love it

“Explore the Cape region’s highlights from behind the wheel on this relaxed South African road trip, exploring the stunning, lesser-explored Western Coast as you go. We’ve chosen destinations within a two-hour drive of one another, to maximise those chilled vibes and the adventure. You’ll stay on beautiful Winelands estates, and check out Cape Town’s boutique guesthouses and epic glamping spots in Karoo, the options here are endless. By day? You’ll be riding the waves on the coast, indulging in amazing food and wine, hiking through the epic Karoo wilderness and stargazing alongside expert rangers. This is a great lower-cost option to the Garden Route, and a great itinerary to prolong your stay in the region!”

01 Dec - 04 Dec

Cape Town

With so much to see and do in Cape Town, the only debate is how many nights to spend there (we recommend at least 3). Stunning geography, wonderful hotels, great local produce, and an exceptional local food scene make this one of the world's most visited cities. International and domestic flights connect the city very well.

Hermanus

An hour and a half from Cape Town, this is a fantastic stop for those looking to experience the region without taking on the full Garden Route. It lends itself to self-driving, so we would arrange a hire car for you and is one of the world's top whale-watching spots from August-November.

Greater Kruger

In our opinion, the perfect first-time safari destination with an exceptional chance of seeing the 'big 5' during your stay. Safari veterans also return year after year and the region is home to some of the top lodges on the planet. Access is best by domestic flight from either Johannesburg or Cape Town and we recommend 3 nights.


Available on request
We recommend 4 days

Mozambique Coast

A unique beach offering and one of our most popular destinations. With extremely easy access to Southern Africa, it combines perfectly with the Kruger for a one of a kind safari and beach trip. Some of the lodges can only be accessed by helicopter and we could spend weeks here. Culturally, there is a lot going on here and the local cuisine is exceptional.


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Karoo

The Karoo is a semi-desert natural region in South Africa attracting many art enthusiasts, musicians, and road-trippers. This magical desert space offers open plains and beautiful mountainous landscapes dominated by spring flowers and dwarf baobab trees with the occasional ostrich sighting.


Available on request
We recommend 1 days

Oudtshoorn

A great place to stopover for those driving the Garden Route. It is around 2 hours from the winelands and a further 4 hours onto Knysna. The landscapes are breath-taking and there is a very unique activity to enjoy, ostrich riding!


Available on request
We recommend 3 days

Garden Route

A stunning stretch of coastal road on the south-west tip of South Africa, often regarded as the most beautiful region in the country. Most often included as an epic road trip adventure, this region features Plettenberg Bay, Knysna, Wilderness and Mossel Bay, each bringing unique wildlife-watching opportunities and culinary treats sure to delight any gastronomy aficionados!
