One of the world's most entrancing coastlines extends 230kms along the southern seaboard of South Africa, from Mossel Bay in the west to Storms River in the east. On one side are the densely wooded slopes of the Outeniqua and Tsitsikama mountains and on the other side the Indian Ocean with its shores a delightful mix of cove and rocky cliff, bay, beach, lagoon and navigable river estuary. Between them lies the fertile and lovely coastal terrace known as the Garden route, from which the spectacular and diverse surrounding scenery can be enjoyed.
Highlights of this tour include the spectacular Atlantic Ocean coastline round Hermanus (whale capital of the world), the historic beauty of Swellendam and the famous Ostrich farms and Cango Caves at Oudsthoorn. You will experience the scenic Outeniqua Pass, which provides panoramic views of the region, and the beauty of the Garden Route around Wilderness and Knysna. Walk on the pristine beaches, take in the craft shops along the way, and explore the Western Head of Knysna - a private nature reserve on the Knysna estuary accessible only by ferry. Take in the view at the Bloukrans Gorge. End of this magical tour with a drive into the Tsitsikama National Park, which offers the contrasting beauty of river, forest sea and fynbos.
