Day notes

Welcome to South Africa!

Upon arrival at the airport in Cape Town you will be met in the international arrivals hall and taken to the guesthouse. Our representative will hold up a name tag.

The next morning it is a short taxi ride (reception can help you book this) to the car rental company in the center, where you pick up the rental car.

The next few days you can explore beautiful Cape Town on your own.

Day notes

Franschhoek is a beautiful picturesque village in the middle of the Cape Winelands.

Go wine tasting or have lunch at one of the many wine farms, browse the many galleries in the main street and enjoy the great restaurants of this beautiful place!

And don't forget to look around from time to time and absorb the beauty in this environment!

Day notes

Travel towards the mountains to the small town of Oudtshoorn.

The route via the R62 is one of the most beautiful in the country. Take the time to look around here and there in the small villages! The ostrich farms are the biggest attraction of Oudtshoorn.

A visit to such a farm is very interesting and definitely worth it. The famous Cango Caves are also very impressive. Time permitting, a drive through the Swartberg Pass to Prince Albert is a wonderful way to explore the area, the views from the top are breathtaking!

Back via Meiringspoort this makes a very nice road trip for the day. You can order meal packages on the spot (or let us know in advance if you want this), or you can do your own shopping in Oudtshoorn.

Day notes

Buffelsdam Country House is located 5 minutes from the N2 in the outskirts of The Crags at the foot of the Tsitsikamma Mountains between Plettenberg Bay and Nature's Valley on the Garden Route.

The property is adjacent to Kurland Polo Estate and is surrounded by a variety of fynbos.

Enjoy a swim in our pool or sit back, relax and enjoy the holiday.

The birds and scenery are spectacular!

Day notes

One of the highlights of the Garden Route is Storms River Mouth.

Beautiful nature, with the possibility to do some active things in the area such as hiking, kayaking, bungee jumping or quad biking.

Day notes

Knysna is known for its beautiful lagoon.

There are many things to do, rent an e-bike, take to the sea to spot whales and dolphins, take a walk in the beautiful Tsitsikamma forest or eat and shop at the Knysna Waterfront

Day notes

After Cape Town and Stellenbosch, Swellendam is the third oldest settlement in South Africa.

A number of buildings are built in Cape Dutch style, nice to look around and soak up some culture.

Swellendam located in the Western Cape is a nice town with a rich history and the third oldest city in the country, after Cape Town and Stellenbosch, founded in 1745. Explore the village on foot and view the beautiful old buildings at your leisure.

Swellendam is located in a beautiful green valley at the foot of the Langenberg Mountains, a small oasis in itself! It is a quiet town known for its berries, architecture and history.

Swellendam was once the last outpost of civilization in the east of the Western Cape and as a result it became a lively trading place. Now strategically located between Cape Town and George, it is a place frequented by tourists in transit.

Numerous coffee shops with cozy terraces, but also nice restaurants and small shops make your stay here more than pleasant.

Day notes

Travel back to Cape Town, where you return the car (with a full tank) in time for your flight back home.
