It’s one of those trips where every day feels like a highlight, whether you’re walking through the forests of Tsitsikamma, spotting wildlife in the wild, or just soaking up the peaceful views over Knysna Lagoon.
We’ll take you from beautiful beaches in Plettenberg Bay to cliffside lookouts and cozy coastal towns, with plenty of fun (and optional) extras along the way, think bungee jumping at Bloukrans Bridge, canoeing through rivers, or unwinding with wine tastings and great food at local gems.

Kick off your unforgettable Garden Route adventure with a scenic drive from Cape Town to Mossel Bay along the famous N2 highway. Along the way, enjoy stunning coastal and mountain views that perfectly set the tone for your trip.
Your first highlight is an optional 3-hour safari at Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. This is one of South Africa’s top private game reserves on the Garden Route.
