Botlierskop Game Reserve
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your Cape Town accommodation and a scenic drive to the renowned Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. On arrival, embark on an exciting afternoon game drive where you may spot rhino, buffalo, giraffe, and more in their natural habitat. After the safari, continue to your hotel in the Garden Route region. Settle in and enjoy your first dinner together as a group. Overnight in the Mossel Bay or Oudtshoorn area.
Tsitsikamma National Park Adventure
After breakfast, head east toward Tsitsikamma National Park, famous for its coastal forests, rugged cliffs, and adrenaline-filled activities. You’ll have free time to choose from a variety of optional adventures like ziplining through the treetops, bungee jumping from the Bloukrans Bridge (the world’s highest), or hiking through the forest. Later, transfer to your accommodation near Storms River or Knysna. Dinner is at your own expense tonight—try a local seafood spot!
Beach Time & Addo Elephant
Start the morning with a relaxed breakfast followed by some free time on one of the Garden Route’s stunning beaches. Soak up the sun or take a refreshing dip. Then, head toward Addo Elephant National Park, South Africa’s third-largest reserve. After arriving, enjoy a late afternoon game drive in search of elephants, lions, zebras, and other wildlife. End the day with a hearty group dinner and an overnight stay near the park.
Cango Caves & Optional Elephant
