7 Day Cape Town & Garden Route (3-star)
|
Come and join us for a week spent in Cape Town and the nearby Garden Route – an ever-popular route for locals and tourists alike. The Garden Route offers one a kaleidoscope of stunning scenery with plenty to do see and do along the way. This short tour begins in Cape Town, South Africa’s popular "Mother City" where you will experience a taste of the local tourist attractions. Due to time constraints we won’t be able to spend too much time in Cape Town before heading off along the breathtaking Garden Route. We will stop over in a couple of towns along the way, to take in the sights and sounds of the Cape Garden Route. One of the highlights will be a unique opportunity to touch a live Cheetah at the Cango Wildlife Ranch in Oudtshoorn. Towards the end of the week, you will find yourself in the Addo Elephant National Park – the best place in the world to get up close and personal with the biggest of the land mammals.
