Introduction

The Cape and the Garden Route are known as some of the most beautiful and diverse areas in South Africa. Spanning an area of +-750km, this self-drive holiday will take you to beautiful places such as Table Mountain, the Winelands, the Karoo desert (where ostriches are farmed) and the scenic town of Knysna. The itinerary is also highly customizable, with possible safari add-on options like a safari in the Eastern Cape or a night in Hermanus to go whale watching.
