This trip along the Garden Route starts in Cape Town, where you can explore the waterfront and take in views of Table Mountain. From there, you head to Hermanus, famous for its whale watching, before moving on to Oudtshoorn, where you can visit the Cango Caves and see ostriches up close.

The rhythm of the journey is relaxed, with two nights in Knysna to enjoy the lagoon and local eateries. You’ll also spend time in Plettenberg Bay and Storms River, where you can hike and explore the coast. Finally, you’ll wrap up in Addo, home to elephants and other wildlife. This route is perfect for nature lovers and anyone looking to unwind by the beach.
