Go on a family adventure with this 16-night itinerary along South Africa’s Garden Route. Starting in Cape Town, this version of the famous self-drive route is created for families in mind with short distances between stops and an almost infinite list of experiences that’ll have the whole family in awe.

Take a road trip via South Africa’s irresistible Garden Route framed by seaside towns, thick emerald forest and a splendid stretch of coastline. Enjoy whale spotting in Hermanus and freshly-shucked oysters in Knysna while travelling at a pace that allows you to pause as you please. Round off with a Big-5 experience in the wild Eastern Cape.

Cross the Cape from coast to coast on an indulgent two-week road trip that takes in the cosmopolitan foodie delights of Cape Town, the celebrated wine region’s headline acts and lesser-known gems along Route 62, and a host of other gourmet experiences from oyster lunches by the sea to high tea and sundowners in a private game reserve.

Take to the road on a free-wheeling journey across the stunning Cape region that offers fun for all the family. Along the way, you’ll explore unspoiled landscapes and meet the incredible local wildlife – from whales and big cats to tiny penguins and many others – on boat trips, on safari and even on the beach.

This week-long itinerary spans two sought-after destinations. Explore ever-pleasing Cape Town at your own speed whether that’s diving into its famed foodie scene or following the coastal road in a 1950s sidecar. For contrast, head to the Eastern Cape for a Big Five safari that’s as diverse as it is hassle free.
