Cape Town – Cape Peninsula – Stellenbosch – Oudtshoorn – Knysna – Johannesburg – Kruger National Park
Experience the very best of South Africa, including a thrilling game drive in search of the ‘Big Five’ in Kruger National Park
During our return journey to Cape Town we stop at Boulders Beach, where you can see the penguins that make their home here.
There’s a scenic drive to look forward to today via Route 62 to Oudtshoorn. An afternoon visit to an ostrich farm will give you the opportunity to admire and possibly hand-feed these curious looking creatures.
Our first stop today will be at the impressive Cango Caves, where we’ll descend into an underground world of limestone caverns, stalactites and stalagmites sculptured by nature over millions of years.
Next we head to Knysna, a town at the heart of the Garden Route which nestles on the shores of a beautiful lagoon and is surrounded by ancient forests.
You are free to explore Knysna at your own pace today. You could perhaps explore the town’s boutiques and shops with your travelling companions, or maybe take in the views from the heads – the two huge cliffs lying at the mouth of the lagoon.
We will say goodbye to Knysna this morning and drive along the spectacular Garden Route to Port Elizabeth. Along the way we’ll stop at Storms River Mouth in Tsitsikamma National Park, where you can walk across the 77-metre-long suspension bridge that crosses the water as it flows into the ocean.
This morning we include a tour of nearby Soweto – the country’s most populous black urban residential area, which is infused with the history of the struggle against apartheid.
The Panorama Route weaves its way through some of the most stunning scenery in South Africa – the rainforest at God’s Window, Bourke’s Luck potholes and Blyde Canyon are just some of the highlights. It’s also our route to Mpumalanga, the gateway to the iconic Kruger National Park.
Wake up to the incredible sounds of the African bush as you embark on a thrilling early-morning game drive in Kruger. The park is home to an enthralling array of wildlife, so hopefully you’ll tick off at least some, if not all, of the ‘Big Five’ – lion, leopard, elephant, rhino and buffalo.
There’s more time at leisure today, with optional bush walks and game drives on offer if you want to see more of your thrilling surroundings and the resident wildlife.
We head back to Johannesburg for our return flight to the UK.
