Cape Town is a sophisticated city at the gateway to the majestic African continent. It has become an attraction for many celebrities, artists and tourists. Cape Town's many clean, natural beaches are considered among the most beautiful in the world, spectacularly situated between sea and mountain, from False Bay to the Atlantic Ocean. The city's beaches attract patrons from September well into June. The ever fashionable Camps Bay and Clifton on the Atlantic sea are the perfect sundowner destination, sipping a decadent cocktail at one of the trendy sidewalk cafes and bars. In the Summer Months these beaches are the preserve of the toned and tanned, where many a bikini top has been discarded in the quest for all-over bronzing.

The Garden Route Tours are exploring an area renowned for adventure tourism and sheer beauty. Ancient indigenous forests filled with giant yellowood trees and abundant wild flowers give the Garden Route its name while the pristine beaches, shimmering freshwater lakes and extensive mountain ranges add to its beauty. This narrow belt between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains extends from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth. Garden Route tours are a favourite amongst local and international tourists.

These tours give us an insight into the famous Garden Route and compares it with the arid semi-desert Great Karoo. Few countries rival the South African scenic splendor and diversity. The Great Karoo Desert is a vast and unforgiving landscape of which the Karoo National Park is but a small portion. Being the largest ecosystem in South Africa, the Karoo is home to a fascinating diversity of life, all having adapted to survive in these harsh conditions. Karoo National Park is dominated by the lofty Nuweveld mountains.
