Jump on this 3-day rip-roaring adventure through the Garden Route, where you'll fit as much as you possibly can into 3 awesome days. On this trip, you can experience a game drive, enjoy some treetop ziplining, visit a local farmer's market, an elephant and a monkey sanctuary, the Cango Caves and jump from the world’s highest commercial bungee!
Day 1 Friday ǀ Overberg, Garden Route, Myoli Beach
You'll leave the Mother City behind and head east along the N2, past Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa to a private game reserve on the edge of the Garden Route. Here you'll go on a safari where you'll see lions, buffaloes, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs and giraffes in their natural habitat.
After lunch you'll enjoy some fun with a canopy tour; experience the thrill of crossing rope bridges, wobbly crossings and zip wires high up in the trees. Next, you'll carry on to Sedgefield.
Day 2 Saturday ǀ Garden Route, Knysna, Tsitsikamma
You'll begin your day with a visit to a popular local farmer and craft market in the village. You'll then make your way to an elephant sanctuary for orphaned elephants where you'll learn about them. Alternatively, you'll have the choice to visit a monkey sanctuary where rescued monkeys roam free in a large jungle area.
Your next stop will be one of the highlights of the tour... the Bloukrans River Bridge, home to the world’s highest commercial bungee jump from 216 meters!
From here you'll make your way back to Myoli beach to carry on with the festivities.
Day 3 Sunday ǀ Little Karoo, Oudtshoorn, return to Cape Town via Route 62
You'll head over the Outeniqua Mountains to the Town of Oudtshoorn, known as the “Ostrich Capital of the world”. Here you'll visit the Cango Caves to go on either an adventure or standard tour, through some very large chambers with spectacular limestone formations that are millions of years old.
If you choose the adventure tour, be prepared to start squeezing through some very tight spaces. If caves are not your thing, then you'll have the option to visit the Cango Endangered Wildlife Ranch.
You'll then start heading home along the scenic Route 62 through the Klein Karoo.
Tour ends:
You'll be dropped back off at your original pick up point in the Cape Town city centre unless otherwise requested. You generally arrive back in Cape Town between 6:00pm and 7:00pm on the last day, although this cannot be guaranteed.
