13 Days Discover South Africa
Journey through the rainbow
nation
South Africa
Introduction
South Africa is a vast and amazingly diverse country -
stretching from the sub-tropical north through arid
deserts in the interior to the lush coastal forests of
the south. We focus on the Cape, an area that
encompasses many of the country's most spectacular
landscapes and offers a quite incredible range of
activities from game viewing to boat trips, mountain
biking, whale-watching and much more besides. We track
elephant and lion, explore the beautiful Garden Route
and enjoy vibrant Cape Town.
GAME TRACKING
From Port Elizabeth we travel to the Addo Elephant
National Park - one of the very best in the world for
viewing the goliath of the animal kingdom. Addo is
famous for its impressive elephant population, but we
may also see buffalo, eland, kudu, leopard and a host of
other game. Exploring by 4WD, we then visit nearby
Schotia Game Reserve, well known for its lions, as well
as its diversity of other wildlife and birdlife.
PLETTENBERG BAY & OUDTSHOORN
At Tsitsikamma we pause to hike a section of the Garden
Route's most spectacular coastline and view the dramatic
Storm's River Mouth, then continue to Plettenberg Bay -
known locally as Plett. Here the range of activities is
endless: try whale-watching (June to November) or hiking
around the beautiful Robberg Peninsula. For a change of
scene, we visit Knysna and next day head to Oudtshoorn -
a small town in the arid hinterland famous for its
ostrich farms and the awesome Cango Caves - arguably the
world's finest dripstone caverns.
GARDEN ROUTE TO CAPE TOWN
Following a dramatic, open mountain route we drive back
to the coast via Hermanus. This small town boasts the
finest shore-based whale-watching in the world - they
even have a 'Whale Crier' who announces whale sightings
with blasts on a kelp horn! Finally an exciting coastal
drive brings us to Cape Town, capital of the Western
Cape. Fringed by a shoreline of cliffs and stunning
beaches and dominated by the iconic shape of Table
Mountain, Cape Town is also a cultural melting pot - a
vibrant, lively city and a great place to end our
journey.
