Itinerary
Day 1: Cape Town
Explore the cosmopolitan city of Cape Town during the day and meet your group and your Tour Leader in the evening at 18.00 to get acquainted and review your trip details.
Day 2: Cape Town to Garden Route Game Lodge
We leave after breakfast to begin our scenic drive to the famous Garden Coast Route. Our overnight lodge is set against the backdrop of the majestic Langeberg Mountain Range and is home to an abundance of animal and bird life including the Big 5 – African lion, African elephant, Cape buffalo, African leopard, and rhinoceros. We end our day with a scenic game drive. B & D
Day 3: Mossel Bay to Tsitsikamma
We head towards Tsitsikamma part of the scenic Garden Route, the stretch of coast from Mossel Bay in the Western Cape to Storms River in the Eastern Cape. The area covers large swaths of indigenous forest, commercial plantation, and Fynbos (natural shrubland). B & D
Day 4: Tsitsikamma
You have the day free to enjoy some optional activities from self-guided hikes, black water tubing, Bloukrans bungee, a treetop canopy tour, abseiling and much more. Take the short hike that crosses the famous hanging bridge across the dark and brooding Storms River or the longer adventurous hike over boulders and through stretches of forest to a waterfall where the tannins from the trees colour the water dark reddish brown. Other trails offer the opportunity to search for the Knysna Turaco (Knysna lourie) a beautiful blue and green bird if you want to tick some birds off your birding list. B
Day 5: Tsitsikamma to Addo Elephant National Park
From Tsitsikamma we head North, travelling through the open semi-desert Karoo landscapes with its distinctive flat-topped hills or “koppies” and picturesque wind pumps in the distance. Our destination is Addo Elephant National Park. B & D
