Day 1
We make our way from Cape Town along the N2 via Sir Lowry's pass to the sleepy coastal town of Mossel Bay. We should arrive here by the late afternoon. For those that are interested there is a nearby game reserve to see the BIG 5 (excluding the leopard) on an optional safari. Otherwise you can hang out on the golden sanded beach.
Tonight we overnight on the Santos Train which s right on the edge of the beach

Day 2
Setting off to Tsitsikamma, our 1st stop is in Wilderness where we canoe on the Wilderness Lagoon and watch the wild bird life while we get in touch with nature.
There's a stop at Natures Valley, the beach stretches for miles and the water is warm, perfect combo for a fun day out on the ocean.
After having lunch in the popular holiday town of Knysna we finally reach our overnight destination where we will sleep in forest huts on the edge of the ocean

Day 3
The early morning is spent in the paradise that is Tsitsikamma National Forest as we explore the marine reserve with its unique combination of dramatic coastal and forest landscapes. To fully appreciate the scenery we need to make our way across a suspended bride to reach a quiet look point.

This is a day of fun activities, for the brave they can face their fear of heights at Bloukrans, this is the highest bridge based bungy in the world. If this is not your cup of coffee then one can visit the Elephant Sanctuary to the gentile giants. You will get to touch and feed the elephants. One can also take them on a trunk-in-hand stroll. (Please note, these are both optional extras)

We overnight in Oudtshoorn a small town in the semi-desert Klein Karoo, offering a more harsh kind of beauty as the setting sun paints the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains in shades of pink.

Day 4
Today we travel back to Cape Town, but not without a morning stop at the world famous Cango Caves. We will explore close to three kilometres of passageways that lead to vast halls inside the earth where colourful stalactites hang from the roof like ancient chandeliers.

Last stop before hitting the road is the ostrich farm, we tour an ostrich farm, where the more daring among us can ride the ostriches (within weight limits). The rest of us get to stand on their eggs and make sure your friends take a picture of you hugging and kissing the world's most friendly female ostrich, Betsie.

On the way home we hit Route 62 – Along this famous country road you'll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, rugged Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards in your personal road movie. We will reach Cape Town by nightfall.
