Highlights
Itinerary
Day 1 : Cape Town – Sedgefield, South Africa
Location: Cape Town
Meals Included: Breakfast
Start with a morning pick-up from selected hotels in Cape Town city cantre (usually between +/- 6 and 8am, subject to the pickup route). This combo tour package may run in a different order. You may start by travelling to the Winelands, Cape Point or the Garden Route. If you start on the Garden Route tour portion; this is the itinerary guideline to follow:Wind your way through mountain passes where lazy baboons line the roadside; rolling farmlands and fertile microclimates with rows and rows of grapevines. Get ready for the famous Route 62, modeled after America’s Route 66, but with a distinctly local flavour and the longest wine route in the world. The Route 62 is more than just a leisurely drive – showcasing local culture, food, larger-than-life local characters and world-class wines. Wine lovers will be in their element with a Wine Tasting pit stop to sample some of the local produce about midway to your overnight stop. Few things are more beautiful to behold than the innate majestic beauty of this Valley of Wine with a glass of wine in hand. Complete the day with a journey through the landscape of rugged plains and towering cliffs to reach Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world, situated in the semi-desert Klein Karoo. Those seeking a close encounter with Mother Nature can join rangers on an optional Elephant Educational Observation in nature at the Buffelsdrift private game reserve. Follow these three rescued elephants; Jabari, Malaika and Bulelo. These gentle giants were orphaned when their parents were poached in the north of South Africa. In efforts to keep the family together, they were transferred to Buffelsdrift, bringing their boisterous personalities with them. You are free to take pictures from a distance and can ask the rangers as many questions.You’ll spend the evening here at leisure in this countryside town of Oudtshoorn. Either ask your guide to help you book a restaurant or taste local delights - such as ostrich "sosaties" (kebabs) and "pot brood" (bread cooked on open flames) at an optional 'braai' bbq experience (subject to availability) and spend the evening around a crackling fire under the vast twinkling starry country sky.
