Cape Cruisers Expedition: 9 Days Journey through Coastal Beauty
Embarking from Cape Town, our journey unfolds along the stunning Cape Peninsula, encompassing iconic landmarks like Cape Point, and culminating in a serene night’s rest in the charming village of Franschhoek. Surrounded by the picturesque vineyards of the Cape Winelands, we even indulge in the delights of wine tasting!
Our route then leads us to the southernmost tip of Africa, Cape Agulhas, where the frigid Atlantic Ocean converges with the warm Indian Ocean, creating a mesmerizing display of unbridled natural beauty. Following this, we traverse the Scenic Route 62 to reach Oudtshoorn, renowned as the Ostrich Capital of South Africa. A well-deserved rest day allows for exploration, whether conquering thrilling tar and gravel mountain passes like Die Hel or Swartberg Pass, visiting an ostrich farm, or marveling at the wonders of the Cango Caves.
Continuing our adventure, we navigate the breathtaking Outeniqua Pass, spending a night in the waterfront haven of Knysna, where the scenic Knysna headlands captivate our senses. The journey progresses to Storms River Mouth in the Garden Route National Park, offering an optional experience for the daring—the World’s Highest Bungee Jump.
Post-exploration of the Storms River Mouth Suspension Bridges, our adventure takes a wild turn with a safari into Addo Elephant National Park. Witness the majesty of the BIG 5—Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Buffalo, and Leopard—in their natural habitat.
The grand finale unfolds in Port Elizabeth on Day 9, concluding with an optional flight back to either Cape Town or Johannesburg.
