Overview

The tour’s most memorable moment is a 4x4 safari in a private game reserve where participants search for Africa’s Big Five with a game ranger. Over three days, the tour covers about 1200 kilometres along the Garden Route, with daily travel of four to six hours by mini van. Guests canoe on a calm river in the Wilderness area, looking out for birdlife, and visit the Cango Caves. Accommodation for two nights includes breakfast each morning. This fast-paced itinerary includes hotel pickup and drop-off within 5km of Cape Town central or Stellenbosch. A local English-speaking guide leads the group throughout. Alongside the main activities, there are optional extras such as observing orphaned elephants in a natural bushveldt habitat and a high bridge bungy jump, both payable directly on site. Meals beyond breakfast are not included but can be purchased during free times. The tour fee includes a donation to 2Cchange charity projects.
