On the first day of this Garden Route Tour we depart from Port Elizabeth, also called the 'Friendly City' along the N2 national route to the Storms River with the impressive Paul Sauer bridge across the valley towering some 139 m above the river.
Our next stop is at Tsitsikamma National Park (Khoisan for 'the place of much water') stretching over one hundred kilometres of wild and rocky coastline characterized by massive cliffs, narrow isolated beaches and shady indigenous forests along the river valleys. Now, truly in the famous Garden Route of the Cape, we traverse more magnificently scenic river valley passes to Knysna on the edge of the Knysna Lagoon with its entrance to the sea guarded by two promontories known as the 'Heads'. The area also falls within a National Park proclaimed to conserve the extraordinary natural beauty of the Lakeland and adjacent indigenous forests. Knysna also offers shopping opportunities of unusual locally made art and crafts. After the first leg of this Garden Route Tour we overnight at Knysna.

We explore the lake areas, the Wilderness National Park and travel via the scenic Montagu Pass to Oudsthoorn, also known as the 'Feather Capital' of the world, as by far the largest concentration of ostrich farms in the world are found here. We visit the Cango Caves, regarded as one of South Africa's foremost natural wonders. The fascinating calcite caves comprises an underground wonderland of stalactites and stalagmites. This 2nd day of this garden route tours are filled with action and entertainment

After an early start on the last day of this Garden Route Tour we visit an ostrich show farm for some unique experiences including ostrich racing. A ride on the back of an ostrich is not for the fainthearted. Our route to Mossel Bay takes us over the Outeniqua Mountains via the Robinson's Pass. Here we visit arguably the oldest Post Office in Africa, the Post Office Tree and the site of the first landfall, made by the Portuguese explorer Bartholomeu Diaz in 1488. After an early lunch we travel to Swellendam, Grabouw and over the Sir Lowry's Pass to Cape Town where we arrive late afternoon. This concludes the Garden Route Tour and we will with sadness drop you off at your hotel or place of your convenience. There is always a sense of emptiness when friends part ways.
