Upon leaving Cape Town, we are treated to extraordinary scenery as we wind our way through the Cape Winelands and eventually over the magnificent Baineskloof pass, one of South Africa's most oldest and adventurous mountain roads. Leading into the small town of Ceres we travel through one of the Cape's fruit growing capitals before entering more drier landscape "The Karoo", here we finally enter Inverdoorn Private Game Reserve
Once checked into your room/tent, enjoy a lovely lunch with possibly an afternoon nap before your evening game drive. Dinner will be enjoyed at the lodge.
After your early morning game drive and leisurely breakfast, we bid the amazing Inverdoorn Wildlife Reserve farewell and head for the Southernmost tip of Africa at Cape Agulhas. Dropping down through Montagu, a cosy small town of the Klein Karoo we make our way though Swellendam for Lunch, before the final stretch down to the coast
A place where the warm Indian Ocean meets the cool Atlantic, the Cape of Storms has caused many an ancient mariners to brave its waters and wreck their ships in the name of exploration and adventure. Have a dip in both oceans, take a photo at the famous monument and explore the Cape Agulhas Lighthouse Museum.
In the late afternoon you will arrive at the small fishing village of Arniston
After breakfast, we take the 1,5 hour drive through the rolling hills of the overberg farming region, with its bright yellow canola fields, to the seaside town of Hermanus where you can enjoy some whale watching from the cliff paths surrounding the village and overlooking Walker Bay.
Spend the afternoon walking the cliff paths viewing whales, maybe joining a boat based whale watching trip in Walker Bay (your guide can arrange) and there is also the Hemel-en-Aarde valley behind the town for some great wine tasting and picturesque lunch venues.
We will return to Cape Town through Bettys Bay and along the scenic Clarens Drive which hugs the False Bay coastline where you can view Table Mountain and Cape of Good Hope across the bay.
Late afternoon drop off at your accommodations after a fantastic few days exploring our Western Cape's wines, whales and wildlife!
Enjoy a morning stroll to the Waenhuiskrans, the other name for the town and that of a cave only accessible on the low tide which asccording to local legend is large enough to store an oxwagon. A little further along the white sandy beach is the point where you can view ancient fish traps used the the bushmen for hundreds of years.
The Bredasdorp Shipwreck Museum is well worth a visit to read up on the rich local Maritime history.
