Itinerary

Embark on an extraordinary journey along South Africa's renowned Garden Route, where every moment unfolds into a mesmerizing tale of discovery and adventure. Over the course of 5 enchanting days, immerse yourself in a tapestry of breathtaking landscapes, from pristine coastlines to verdant forests, quaint towns, and iconic landmarks. Setting off from the vibrant city of Cape Town, your odyssey culminates in the charming coastal city of Port Elizabeth, with each day promising a symphony of unforgettable experiences.

Prepare to be captivated as you drift serenely down a tranquil river in a canoe, enveloped by the lush embrace of a verdant forest. Feel the exhilaration course through your veins as you hike to the base of a majestic waterfall, its cascading waters a testament to nature's grandeur. Venture into the heart of the African bush, where encounters with majestic elephants and other awe-inspiring wildlife await, forging memories to last a lifetime.

For the thrill-seekers among you, dive into the depths of the ocean to come face-to-face with the enigmatic inhabitants of the deep, embarking on an unforgettable shark diving expedition. Then, summon your courage and take the plunge on the world's highest bungee jump, an adrenaline-fueled feat that will leave you breathless and invigorated.

Wander through picturesque seaside towns, their quaint charm and laid-back atmosphere a welcome respite from the bustle of city life. Indulge your senses as you sample the world-renowned wines of the Cape, each sip a symphony of flavor that reflects the region's rich terroir and centuries-old winemaking traditions.

Forge bonds with some of nature's most charismatic creatures, from playful penguins frolicking along the shore to majestic whales breaching against the backdrop of an endless horizon. And as you stand at the southernmost tip of the African continent, let the magnitude of the moment wash over you, a poignant reminder of the vastness and beauty of the world we inhabit.

Guillia put a great self-drive tour together for us and Susana looked after us as we travelled. (Even when we got lost) The car and accommodation was good and the guides patient and informative. Only issue we had was parking in small villages, garages, and cities. Apart from the parking we had a relaxing and enjoyable holiday, thank you.
