Eastern Cape

The Garden Route

There are two ways to enjoy The Garden Route: either take as much or as little time as you like to drive it yourself or, if you would rather let someone else sit behind the wheel so that you can concentrate on the scenery, take our 10-day locally escorted tour that incorporates three nights in Cape Town and the spectacular country between the city and Port Elizabeth.
