South Africa's Garden Route Explorer

Fly from the UK to Cape Town, South Africa.

Welcome to Cape Town, where the vibrant V&A Waterfront is your stunning home base! At the Radisson RED, you're just a hop, skip, and a jump from iconic Table Mountain, arguably the city's most famous landmark. Take a thrilling tour of Table Mountain and Cape Point, offering breathtaking views of the city and the dramatic meeting of two oceans. While you're here, explore the buzzing local markets and don’t leave without tasting Cape Malay curry—a true taste of the city’s rich cultural heritage and flavourful soul.

Next stop, Stellenbosch, a charming town dripping with history and surrounded by rolling vineyards. Embark on a delightful Stellenbosch Wine Hopper tour, this Eastern Route adventure lets you sip and swirl some of South Africa's finest wines. The town itself is a tapestry of oak-lined avenues and Cape Dutch architecture, perfect for leisurely strolls.

Hermanus, the whale watching capital of the world, awaits! Your stay at the Harbour House Hotel puts you in prime position to spot southern right whales breaching just off the coast. Aside from the awe-inspiring marine life, explore the Cliff Path for a scenic walk or visit the quaint markets. Fancy a dip? The cool, refreshing waters of the nearby beaches are calling your name. 

Ah, Knysna! Nestled along the Garden Route, this little town is a treasure trove of natural beauty and quirky charm. Your stay at The Rex Hotel offers easy access to the Knysna Heads, where the lagoon dramatically meets the ocean. While here, indulge in freshly shucked oysters—Knysna’s claim to fame. Explore the lush Knysna Forest or take a leisurely lagoon cruise. 

Plettenberg Bay offers two nights of pure bliss at the Hog Hollow Country Lodge. Surrounded by indigenous forests and boasting spectacular views over the Tsitsikamma Mountains, this lodge is your gateway to adventure. Whether you choose to zip-line through the lush canopy, stroll along the pristine beaches, or simply relax by the lodge's cosy fire, Plettenberg Bay has something for everyone.

Your journey concludes with a wild adventure at Kariega Game Reserve, where African wildlife awaits! With daily game drives, you’ll have front-row seats to the spectacular sights of lions, elephants, and rhinos. This reserve is a conservationist’s dream, offering a chance to connect with nature in a meaningful way. During your downtime, unwind at the luxurious lodge, perhaps with a sundowner in hand. As the African sun sets, casting golden hues over the savanna, you'll realise this is more than just a holiday—it's a life-changing experience.

Drive from Kariega Game Reserve to Port Elizabeth, then fly to the UK.
