This sweeping South African adventure begins in cosmopolitan Cape Town, where Table Mountain’s cable car carries us above a city framed by ocean and mountain alike. From the penguins of Boulders Beach to the dramatic curves of Chapman’s Peak, the Cape Peninsula reveals itself in style, while an evening at the V&A Waterfront brings the city’s vibrant spirit to life. Heading inland along Route 62, one of the world’s great wine routes, we’ll wind through Oudtshoorn’s ostrich farms and the limestone caverns of the Cango Caves before reaching Knysna, a lagoon town fringed by ancient forest. The spectacular Garden Route leads us onward to Storms River Mouth, then we’ll fly to Johannesburg and a journey along the scenic Panorama Route, past waterfalls and canyons, to the wildlife-rich Greater Kruger area. Here, full-day game drives offer us the chance to spot the Big Five, and a traditional Boma dinner around an open fire brings our journey to a fittingly authentic close beneath the big African sky.

You are free to explore Knysna at your own pace today. You could perhaps explore the town's boutiques and shops with your travelling companions or maybe take in the views from the heads - two huge cliffs lying at the mouth of the lagoon.
Alternatively, you could join our optional excursion to Featherbed Nature Reserve. We'll take a ferry across the Knysna Lagoon and admire spectacular scenery as we drive onto the reserve. A Specialist Guide will tell us all about the region's flora and fauna, and we'll take a walk through the coastal forest to see ancient sea caves. After working up an appetite we'll be ready for our included buffet lunch, which is served at a beautiful outdoor restaurant under a canopy of Milkwood trees.

We will say goodbye to Knysna this morning and drive along the spectacular Garden Route to Port Elizabeth, also known as Gqeberha. Along the way, we’ll stop at Storms River Mouth in Tsitsikamma National Park, where you can walk across the 77-metre-long suspension bridge that crosses the water as it flows into the ocean.
When we arrive in Gqeberha, we’ll head to the airport and fly to Johannesburg for our overnight stay in Pretoria.
