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.
