After breakfast, we will explore the Cango Caves with a heritage tour, and then travel through the beautiful Karoo. We will continue to the coastal town of Keurboomstrand for lunch (at your own expense) at a beachfront restaurant. The road then wanders to the misty, primal forests of the Tsitsikamma forest, where elephants once roamed. Close to the powerful rush of the Storms River, the forests were once a haven for San hunter-gatherers. Tsitsikamma is a San word meaning “place of abundant water”. The ancient yellowwood, pear, and stinkwood trees are part of a diverse ecosystem alive with animals and birds that inhabit the fern and moss-rich forest. Feel the ancient power of the forest as you enjoy dinner (included) and local hospitality in Storms River Village. Driving time: 295 kilometres (3 hours).

It’s an early start with the thrill of a game drive in an open safari vehicle. Listen to a riot of birdsong as the sun floods the plains and animals make their way to drinking holes.

After breakfast, the drive takes us past fertile farmlands, across rivers and past fields dotted with aloes and proteas to Swellendam. Sample the youngberries and blackberries for which the town is renowned. Try a berry liquor or the export-quality citrus fruit, peaches, and plums (all at your own expense). It’s a scenic drive from Swellendam to Arniston. Spend an afternoon at leisure in this seaside village.
