PRICE: $411
per person

 

Day 1: Oudtshoorn
Morning pickup (6am – 7am) from your accommodation in Cape Town or Stellenbosch.
Travel about 450 km ±6hrs.
Set off along the famous Route 62, where you’ll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, vast Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards. Pop in at one of the many farm stalls along the way, stocked with locally crafted delights before arriving in Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world.

Delve deep underground to the magical Cango Caves’ limestone chambers, alive with drip formation stalactites and remnants of Khoikhoi paintings. Opt for the easy-going guided Heritage Tour or by contrast, the Adventure Tour allows you to wiggle your way through limestone on a daring underground route.
Spend the evening in Oudtshoorn at leisure.

As per package selected; overnight at Uthando (Dorm or own room Backpack Stay) or 88 Baron van Reede (3 star Comfort) or 4 star Luxury Hlangana Lodge(ask to upgrade to Buffelsdrift extra cost)

Day 2: Wilderness
Today you’ll drive about 400 km ±4hrs.
As the dawn breaks in the dusty Klein Karoo, opt for a close encounter with Mother Nature and join elephant guides on an (optional with cost) Elephant Observation in Nature. Gentle giants (Jabari, Malaika and Bulelo) made Buffelsdrift their home after being relocated from Kruger when their parents were poached. Follow and observe these 3 rescued African elephants as they roam freely in this natural bush veld habitat.
Then, take to the water for a leisurely paddle along the reed-lined banks near the Wilderness National Park region. It’s not until you stop paddling and let the gentle current guide you, that the rich birdlife becomes apparent (or seasonal waterfall).

The adventure continues as you reach Bloukrans Bridge, the world’s highest commercial bridge bungy jump. Opt in to hurtle face-first down the 134 (216 m) drop if you dare (optional with cost) or those who’d prefer to keep their feet on solid ground can go for a walk at nearby forest.

Spend the evening soaking in the slow town way of life in Sedgefield or Wilderness, subject to your accommodation location. Feel the white sand between your toes as you sip on cocktails or rooibos ice tea with dinner.

As per selected package; choose to stay at PiliPili Backpackers (Dorm or own room Backpacker Stay) or Fairy Knowe (3 star Comfort) or Dolphin Dunes (4 star Luxury)

Day 3: Garden Route
Start the day in the heart of the African bush. Spot some of Africa’s wild animals from the back of an open 4×4 vehicle in the malaria-free Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Search for white rhino, lion, elephant, zebra, and wildebeest, just to name a few. The game drive is led by an experienced game ranger, sharing his knowledge of the local wildlife.

Travel about 450km ±6hrs.
End the day with a journey through the landscape of rolling farmlands as you say farewell to the Garden Route on your way back to Cape Town by evening (between 8pm – 10pm).
