The majestic beauty of ‘The Fairest Cape’ is showcased throughout this tour. Our first day will lead us out of Cape Town as we head down to ‘Shark Alley’ where you will be treated to a Shark cage diving excursion (10-day tour only). The ride then heads to Cape Agulhas, the Southernmost Point in Africa. we will visit the nature reserve and view the spot where the Indian and Atlantic Oceans meet. The Overberg region makes for some dramatic wide open ‘big sky’ country with vast windswept fields leading towards the imposing ‘Langeberg Mountains’ with Swellendam at its base. Within less than an hour from Swellendam, the scenery changes once again as we head into the Little Karoo along Route 62: dry, arid, and home to thousands of rustic plant species and the home to thousands of Ostrich.
A night will be spent in a luxury-tented game lodge, a lovely setting under the stars. The afternoon will end with a sundowner big game drive. The next morning will see a later start after a relaxing breakfast and time spent meeting and feeding the rescue Elephants. We head over the imposing and iconic Swartberg Pass into the Great Karoo. We will overnight in the Karoo in an old-period home offering authentic Karoo hospitality. The next day will see us venturing through the breathtaking Meiringspoort Pass before heading out along the Lankloof Valley renowned for being the longest fruit-growing region of the country.
Storms River, on the edge of the Tsitsikamma Forest, the forest and Storm River Mouth will take centre stage. You can do a ‘canopy zipline tour’ through the ancient Tsitsikamma Forest, a laidback Segway cruise through the vast forest or simply ‘chill’. After the rest day we’ll enjoy a ride along the ‘Garden Route’ and enjoy yet more amazing mountain passes as we head back into the Little Karoo and a night on Route 62. A ride through the stunning Seweweeks Pass (seven weeks) will kick off your final full riding day with a coffee stop in historical Maitjiesfontein. Then… more mountain passes will take us through to the ‘Swartland’ which will offer up lovely rolling hills and a mountain lodging where we will enjoy our last dinner together. Finally, it’s back to Cape Town.
If you have the time, you can spend a day or two exploring Cape Town and its surroundings (Table Mountain, Red Bus Tour, White Sand Beaches, Wine Farm Tours, Hiking, etc.).
