Tour Overview

The Garden Route is South Africa's crown jewel coastal drive, stretching from Mossel Bay to Storms River through a tapestry of indigenous forests, dramatic coastlines, charming towns, and incredible wildlife. This 5-day road trip takes you through Knysna's legendary lagoon, into the ancient Tsitsikamma forest, across the world's highest bungee bridge at Bloukrans, and into Addo Elephant National Park — home to over 600 elephants. Along the way, kayak with dolphins in Plettenberg Bay, explore the Cango Caves, and sample oysters in Knysna. This is the ultimate South African adventure.
