Day 1, Cape Town to Cape Agulhas
Jump on the famous 'Whale Route' as we travel along the coast heading through Hermanus to Cape Agulhas - the southernmost point of Africa. Wander along the longest beach in the Southern Hemiphere or take up an optional dolphin & whale spotting boat trip (in season).

Day 3, Oudtshoorn to Tsitsikamma National Park
A guided tour of the Cango Caves might be a great way to start the day before travelling further along the Garden Route through the gorgeous Outeniqua Pass, Knysna and Storm's River. A chance to bungy the highest jump in the world before we spend the night just outside the Tsitsikamma National Park.
Day 4, Tsitsikamma National Park to Addo Elephant National Park
Travel past some of the best coastal scenery in South Africa! Pass Jeffrey's Bay - home to huge waves at 'Supertubes' and mecca to surfers world wide - before spending the night just outside the home to the 'Big 7' (as well as Elephants) - Addo Elephant National Park.
Day 5, Addo Elephant National Park to Port Elizabeth (via Jeffrey's Bay)
After an early morning game drive through the winding roads of the Park we leave the Elephants behind and drive further south to the sunshine coast. We head for Jeffrey's Bay known for some of the best surfing spots along the South African coast before arriving in Port Elizabeth.
Day 6, Port Elizabeth to Knysna
Turning west we make our way along the beautiful coastline and stop for the night just outside of the oyster capital - Knysna.
