Tour step
You'll be collected from the airport. Accommodation before the tour starts can be arranged for an extra cost.
Day 1
At the crack of dawn on Monday morning, pick-up will be from your hotel or the airport. You travel to Hermanus along the picturesque coastline and stop at Betties Bay to see a colony of African penguins. Hermanus is a popular seaside resort town that hosts hundreds of Southern right whales from July to November. You will continue your journey towards the southernmost point of Africa, Cape Agulhas, stopping at the "genuine" spot where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans converge. Guests who opt to dive in shark cages will have to wake up extra early to catch the diving operator's early morning pick-up. They will not have time to see Hermanus and the African penguin colony on day 1. Overnight accommodation in Agulhas or Struisbaai, dinner and the penguins' visit are included in your package. Optional activities (prices approximate): • Shark cage diving: R3,600 • Whale-watching boat trip (in season, July - November): R1,320 • Cycle or e-bike to the southern tip of Africa: R300. Luxury hotel located less than 1hr drive from Cape Agulhas (Highlight) Dinner (Breakfast & lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 2
From Cape Agulhas, you take the lovely Route 62, the lengthiest wine route in South Africa, to Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo, also called the "Ostrich Capital of the World". Before settling into your lodgings on a Little Karoo game farm, you will enjoy a delightful lunch and wine tasting at a nearby winery. While the sun sets, you can take a tour of the ostrich farm and gaze at the Swartberg and Outeniqua Mountain ranges. Your overnight accommodation is on a working game farm in the Oudtshoorn area. The following activities are included in your package: Local wine tasting and a Klein Karoo ostrich farm tour. Luxury lodge located in Oudtshoorn (Garden Route) Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 3
After breakfast, you will cross the magnificent Outeniqua Mountain Pass and explore Wilderness National Park with canoes. As you float up the Touw River, you will pass through native forests and see many birds. The canoes will be left after 40 minutes for a 2-kilometre boardwalk hike to a beautiful waterfall and rock pools. Later, you will travel to Sedgefield to enjoy the beautiful beach. Your package includes overnight accommodation in Sedgefield, breakfast and dinner, and canoeing and hiking in Wilderness National Park. Luxury guest house located in Sedgefield (Town) Breakfast & dinner (Lunch not included) Drinks not included
Day 4
The Lake District on the Garden Route will be on your route today as you travel to the renowned town of Knysna. To get a bird's-eye view of the Indian Ocean and the Knysna River estuary, you will go to the Knysna Heads lookout. Your next stop will be at Bloukrans Bridge (216 meters), the highest bungee jump bridge in the world. Those looking for an adventure can test your mettle at your leisure. Tsitsikamma National Park, with its stunning coastline and native forest, is the perfect place to spend the middle of the day. Among the many things to do in the park are swimming, hiking, and even a suspension bridge over the Storms River. You will depart from there and leave the Garden Route for Addo - Big Five country - in the afternoon. Your package includes overnight accommodation in the Addo area, breakfast and dinner, and entrance to Tsitsikamma National Park. The 216-meter Bloukrans bungee jump is optional and costs approximately R1,690.

This safari can last anywhere from 2 to 3 hours. The tour will conclude in Gqeberha (Port Elizabeth) at around 13h00 to 14h00 after an exciting morning of game viewing. An extra safari experience is available to guests who want to extend their 5-day Garden Route tour. This extra safari takes place at a private game reserve in the Eastern Cape, about an hour from the tour's end. Your package doesn’t include any meals but does include entrance and the 2- to 3-hour drive with the tour vehicle through Addo Elephant National Park.

5.0/5Our first Big 5 Safari Tour was nothing short of incredible! From the very start, the excitement was unreal and it only got better with every moment out in the wild. Seeing lions, elephants, rhinos, buffalo in their natural habitat was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Martin was knowledgeable, passionate and made the whole experience even more special. It’s something we’ll never forget, truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure! But we will repeat it as we still have to „hunt“ leopard 🐆 hehe

Martin took us through the reserve to locate the animals. He answered our questions and taught us so many things about the big 5
Dayo · Australia
We had a very good time at the Dumela Tented Camp. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The guides on the game drives were really good. We had luck and could see many different animals.
