The
Drakensberg Mountains, the Wild Coast, and the Garden Route –
see the best of South Africa’s stunning scenery.
Day
1 - 2, Southern Drakensberg
Head into the Drakensberg Mountains, dubbed the ‘barrier of
spears’ by the Zulu, and camp for two nights enjoying the
fresh mountain air and hiking. Climb up the torturous Sani Pass,
one of the most dramatic roads in the world as it snakes and corkscrews
up the steep escarpment into Lesotho.
Day 3 – 4, Wild Coast
Visit the Nelson Mandela Museum a glimpse of the country’s
history, before spending two nights on the Wild Coast. Rugged and
dramatic, with wide swathes of empty beach, this is the perfect
place for hiking and isolated beach walks.
Day 5, Addo Elephant National Park
This is Africa’s most southerly elephant population, and the
park is a major conservation success story, where you will get close
to the many herds of elephant, as well as buffalo and possibly newly-introduced
lion.
Day 6 – 8, Garden Route
Spend the next three nights in the Tsitsikamma National Park and
camp between the pounding surf on one side and the forested slopes
on the other. Over the next couple of days explore the highlights
of the Garden Route, including the white beaches of Plettenberg
Bay, the laid back resort of Knysna, and there are a number of exciting
optional activities to keep you active.
Day 9, Outdshoorn
Travel inland over the Ouiteniqua Pass into the semi arid Karoo
to visit the world famous Cango Caves, and one of the ostrich farms
that Oudtshoorn is famous for, to ride an ostrich and learn a little
more about what is the world’s largest bird.
Day 10, Hermanus
We head back to the coast and explore the pretty coastal town of
Hermanus, where in season, whales enter the bay to breed. This is
some of the best land based whale watching in Africa.
Day 11 - 12, Cape Town
We reach Cape Town, the ‘mother city, and our final morning
is spent on a tour of the Cape Point Nature Reserve to see the lighthouse
at the Cape of Good Hope, before heading back into Cape Town where
our eventful tour ends in the afternoon in the shadow of Table Mountain.
