Welcome to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point of Africa!
From Cape Town we set off to Cape Agulhas, the southernmost point in Africa! There is the famous Lighthouse, which you can climb to enjoy the breathtaking view of the coast! Go to the nearby beach with your new friends in the evening and watch the sunset together - a perfect end to the first day. (a)
Cape Agulhas - Mossel Bay: Jeep Safari & Braai
It's safari time! On our open jeep tour we get very close to the wild animals, observe and photograph them. And who knows, you might even see a predator... After the safari we continue to Mossel Bay. The afternoon is for relaxing and you have time to buy some groceries and drinks at the supermarket. In the evening it's time to say: Let's Braai! Which means something like: Let's go to the barbecue! But braai doesn't just mean grilling and eating - braai is an integral part of South Africa's culture and lifestyle! (F and A)
Mossel Bay - Knysna: Shark Diving, Skydiving & Sandboarding
Test of Number One: If you want to meet the white shark at eye level, step into a steel cage * and dive into the depths of the Indian Ocean. Chances are, the King of the Seas will come to see you ... It's pretty freaky, but not without ...
Dare number two: jump out of an airplane and see the world from above while skydiving*! With your jump you rush down steeply for up to a minute and are rewarded with a great view. If you prefer to stay on the ground, try sandboarding* on the sand dunes! If all this is too much excitement for you in the morning, go into town or to the beach. We then continue to the lagoon city of Knysna, where you can see the beautiful waterfront. (F and A*)
Knysna: Paragliding & Oyster Tasting
Dare number three: Paragliding* in Knysna takes you up into the air again – you shouldn’t miss out on this mega adventure! If you're anxious - no problem: lie down by the pool in the morning, go shopping on the waterfront or go canoeing! Relaxation is the order of the day in the afternoon. At dinner* things get fancy, because we drink champagne and taste oysters. (F and A*)
On the way to Plettenberg Bay: hiking & elephants
There is nothing better than a short morning hike in great nature! That's exactly how we start our day today. And if your night was a bit short, you will wake up now at the latest, because the hike on Robberg Island is one of the most fascinating highlights that South Africa has to offer in terms of nature! ! Then we continue from Knysna towards Plettenberg Bay. On the way we will – if desired – make a stop at the elephant park*. (F and A*)
Plettenberg Bay: Bungee Jumping & Hike in Tsitsikami National Park
Dare number four: At 216 meters, the highest bridge in Africa, the Bloukrans Bridge in Plettenberg Bay, is perfect for bungee jumping*. After that it gets a little quieter on our hike in the Tsitsikami National Park. From the long suspension bridges that span the park, you have a fabulous view of the beautiful landscape! We stay overnight in Jeffreys Bay, the coolest surfing spot on the coast. Once there, you still have time to relax or look around the beautiful surroundings. (F, M* and A*)
Semi-Desert Karoo & Oudtshoorn: Panoramic Drive & Cango Caves
On Route 62 we drive through the semi-desert "Little Karoo". Enjoy the tour through valleys, over steep passes and past rugged rocks! Arrived in Oudtshoorn, we explore the Cango Caves, which are among the most beautiful cave systems in the world. We stay the night here and because Oudtshoorn is the city of ostriches, there is an ostrich braai that evening. (F* and A)
Oudtshoorn & Calitzdorp: Wildlife Farm & Port Wine
Spend the morning at a wildlife and ostrich farm, getting closer to the animals. In the afternoon we continue to Calitzdorp, where there are several wineries: After a sophisticated port wine tasting and a delicious burger dinner, we spend the night in a safari tent at the disused train station. How exciting! (F and A)
On the way to Cape Town: Boat trip & picnic
The last day has dawned. After a hearty breakfast we drive back towards Cape Town via Route 62. A stop at the legendary pub "Ronnies Sex Shop" and a cool drink are a must! Then we stop again at a winery near Montagu for lunch and wine tasting. We end our cool trip with a boat trip. (F* and M*)
