You can spend the afternoon in the seaside resort town of Hermanus, famous for hundreds of Southern right whales during the whale season (July to November) and many shops, restaurants and markets. In the afternoon, we will drive on to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost tip of Africa, where we visit a viewpoint known as the “real” place where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet.

We travel to Oudtshoorn in the Little Karoo, known as the Ostrich Capital of the World, via the spectacular Route 62, which is South Africa’s longest wine route. We will have a lovely lunch and wine tasting at a local winery, before checking into our accommodation, which is on a working game farm in the Little Karoo.

Midday will be spent in Tsitsikamma National Park with its unique combination of indigenous forest and beautiful Indian Ocean coastline. The Park has a wide choice of activities for all, including hiking, crossing a suspension bridge and swimming. In the afternoon, we will leave the Garden Route for Big 5 country, Addo.

5.0/5It was my first time in SA and i wanted to experience the bush following a family wedding. I was really nervous as i am not really a traveller and was doing this part of the trip alone. When i found Rochelle at Safarilife, she put me at ease answering my billions of questions as i needed every detail before committing to the booking. Rochelle and Safarilife put the itinerary together for me so i knew what was going on and where i was going and I had the best weekend ever at the lodge.
