Safari summary

South Africa’s Garden Route is one of the most scenic areas of the country, with miles of white-sand beaches, pretty lagoons crossed by low bridges, forested mountains with a network of footpaths, and pretty towns with excellent seafood restaurants. In terms of things to do, there are opportunities for dolphin and whale watching, hiking, canoeing, rafting, and visiting some excellent wildlife rehab reserves. A trip is usually combined with some time in Cape Town and often also on safari.

Cape Winelands

The area has 3 main towns, each a bit different, but all probably worth exploring. The people in the area are extremely friendly and welcoming and more than happy to give advice on restaurants and wines. A day visiting local vineyards many of which include cellar tours and wine tastings is a must: some of them offer lunch as you sip! Accommodation options include stays on vineyards, in Country Houses or small guesthouses.
