Package Overview

Our Garden Route Classic Tour covers all the highlights, natural beauty and diverse wonders of the Garden Route in South Africa.

It is located on a narrow belt between the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains on the one side, and the Southern Coast of Africa on the other. The Garden Route is loved for its unique diversity and includes a blend of charming towns, dramatic & scenic landscapes, tall trees, deep gorges, shimmering lakes, majestic mountain ranges, golden beaches and lush indigenous forests.

The Classic Garden route Tour starts from Cape Town, enabling you to experience the longest wine route in the world and fabulous rugged mountain scenery on Day 1 while traveling to Oudtshoorn. Day 2 & Day 3 explores the scenic splendour of the Garden route, especially the areas of Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Tsitiskamma and provides many wonderful photographic opportunities.

The variety of activities along the Garden Route is so diverse and so many, you will have the opportunity to select those that fits your unique interests. Examples are leisurely activities to experience the scenic wonder, or leisurely boat cruises, water-based activities, adventure activities, wildlife experiences and hiking activities. We return to Cape Town on Day 4 with a leisurely exploration via Mossel Bay and Swellendam.

The Garden Route, perennially green, has a mild Mediterranean Maritime climate. It is one of the top highlights in South Africa and should be added to your travel bucket list of must-do experiences. To ensure you experience the very best of the Garden Route, join one of our fabulous Garden Route Tours, conducted by our friendly and knowledgeable Tour Guide professionals, who will ensure you leave with wonderful holiday stories and travel experiences.

All aspects of our private tours can be customised : start and end destinations (e.g. Cape Town / George / Port Elizabeth), the routes, itineraries, duration, highlights and accommodation venues. Our small-group Garden Route Tours allow lots of flexibility and choices within the tour itinerary.
