An Excellent way of experiencing the beauty of the Garden Route and a short safari, ideal for a family!

Day 1: Oudtshoorn

Today we head for Oudtshoorn where there will be time to  explore the incredibly beautiful and fascinating Cango Caves before settling in to your luxury 4 Star B& B and enjoying South African hospitality at it’s best. After a lovely breakfast we visit an Ostrich Farm and the Cango Animal Ranch where there are the most amazing array of animals from crocodiles and snakes to cheetahs and tigers (which you have the option of strokng!), before making our way to Knysna.

Day 2 :Knysna

After another scrumptious breakfast, board a Ferry across the Knysna Lagoon to Feather Bed Bay, take a tractor ride to the top of the hill and enjoy the most magnificent walk down to the bottom for a tremendous buffet lunch. The afternoon offers various options from lying on a the Beach at Brenton on Sea, enjoying Oysters and an Oyster tour, or Beer and a Brewery tour.  A lovely way to round off the day would be to have sundowners at the Simola Golf course which over looks the magnificent course and Knysna itself!

Day 3 : Tsitsikamma National Park and Knysna

After yet another yummy breakfast we will make our way to Knysna Elephant Park where you will actually feed and stroke the Ellies, an experience never to be forgotten! Our next adventure will be gliding through the trees like Tarzan and Jane (for anyone over 7 who is not scared of heights) in the Tsitsikamma Forest (Optional). For the less adventurous we can go down to Storms River to experience the beautiful scenery and venture across the Suspension Bridge. Up for The highest Bungy jump in the world? If not lets watch some crazy people do it! Perhaps you would like to enjoy a cup of tea or a sundowner at the heads before freshening up for a night out on the Knysna Waterfront.
There are other alternatives to consider on this day like a boat based whale and Dolphin watching trip, thrilling as they launch you into the surf with a 4 x 4 and you ride straight up the beach on the return trip.  A lovely experience.  A walk on Roberg for the slightly fit is also a great option.   You may wish to add another day to your tour to accommodate these activities.

Day 4: Hermanus via Mosselbay

Today we head off  to  Hermanus, stopping along the way at the Post office Tree and replica of Bartholomeus Diaz’s Caravel  in Mossel Bay.  We can stop a long the way at other paces of interest like The Aloe Ferox Factory Shop. Once in Hermanus you will have time to explore the picturesque little village and strolling along the Cliff top admiring the beautiful view and spotting Whales (in season).

Day 5: Home via the scenic Coastal Route

After the last incredibly good breakfast on the tour, we will have a bit of time for a bit of a mozy around town for those last minute souvenirs and then make our way to Hemel Op Aarde (Heaven on Earth) and visit one or two wine farms for a taste or two.

We will take the scenic route along the coast home, stopping to say Hi to the Penguins at Stony Point and having lunch at one of the local eateries on the way!  You will be back in Cape Town by 17h00.
