Cape Town to Oudtshoorn

Day 1

Cape Town to Oudtshoorn

You'll start your day with pickup between 6:00 and 8:00 am from Cape Town CBD or Stellenbosch and hit the road along Route 62, the world's longest wine route. You'll enjoy views of mountains, valleys, vineyards, and orchards. You'll stop at a farm stall to taste local delicacies before reaching Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world and the gateway to the Cango Caves. You'll explore the underground caves, a network of limestone chambers with incredible formations and ancient paintings. You can choose between the Heritage Tour, a leisurely walk through the main chambers with great acoustics and insights from your guide, or the Adventure Tour, a more challenging route that involves crawling and squeezing through narrow passages. You'll spend the night in Oudtshoorn. You can either go to town for a restaurant meal or join an optional outdoor braai— subject to availability — where you can try local specialties like ostrich kebabs, 'boerewors' sausage, 'pot brood' (bread), and salad.

Day 2

Oudtshoorn to Sedgefield

You can start an early morning by joining an optional (own expense) Elephant Observation Nature Bush Walk to follow and observe three orphaned elephants, rescued from poachers, in a natural habitat. Later, you'll enjoy a relaxing canoe ride along the reed-lined riverbanks in the wilderness and observe the variety of birds in the area. The adventure reaches its peak at Bloukrans Bridge, the world's highest commercial bridge bungy jump where you might dare to plunge 216m down with nothing but an elastic cord (at your own expense). If you're not up for the bungy jump, you can take a leisurely walk near the bridge in nature. You'll spend the evening in Sedgefield, where you can dine at local restaurants. You will stay overnight at the Pili Pili Backpackers or similar accommodation, depending on availability.

You will arrive by late afternoon or early evening (between 5:00 pm and 9:00 pm depending on traffic and drop-off address). Breakfast (Lunch & dinner not included) Drinks not included

Awesome!

Our 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

Always a quick response, if there were any questions.

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.
