The afternoon in Oudtshoorn is spent exploring the magical Cango Caves, an intricate cave system located in Precambrian limestones at the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains.

Late morning, you arrive in Knysna. In the afternoon, you explore Knysna Heads and the renowned Knysna Waterfront and Knysna Quays. Later in the afternoon, the journey continues to Plettenberg Bay, with a stop at Bloukrans Bridge Bungy, one of the highest commercial bungee jumping spots in the world, standing 216 meters above the Bloukrans River.

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

Martin took us through the reserve to locate the animals. He answered our questions and taught us so many things about the big 5

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.
