Early morning pick up from your accommodation in Cape Town CBD or Stellenbosch (usually is between about 6 to 8am, subject to traffic and the selected pickup route). You can receive your pickup time a day before.
Today starts off strong with a beautiful and exciting trip passing oasis-like seaside towns along the ocean-lined route hugged by forested national parks. After about 4 hours heading south east you’ll be welcomed by the Garden Route in all its glory!
Venture further along the N2 national road to reach Botlierskop Game Reserve. Kick off of the tour with this exciting included safari activity in the heart of the native bushveld. On your first activity stop of the day, spot some of Africa’s wild animals from the back of an open 4×4 vehicle in the malaria-free Botlierskop Private Game Reserve. Search for most of the big 5 animals and also giraffe, white rhino, kudu, lion, elephant, zebra and wildebeest, just to name a few. The game drive is led by an experienced game ranger, sharing his knowledge of the local wildlife.
After the animal sightings in the wild you’ll travel onwards towards the coast. Tonight’s end destination at beachy coastal town in Sedgefield for the backpacker stay crowd and Knysna or near Wilderness town area for the guest house crowd promises a serene and relaxed evening.. and if you’re lucky Mother Nature will bless you with the region’s usual out-of-this-world golden sunset.
