Day 2-3 Coffee Bay (2B,2L,2D)
South from Durban, we travel through on to the Eastern Cape province, into the heartland of the Xhosa people, and to Coffee Bay, a paradise on a large stretch of Indian Ocean coast referred to as the Wild Coast. Here you will have a full day to explore the dramatic scenery of the rocky beaches, hidden lagoons, and coastal cliffs. Try your luck at surfing the waves, scuba diving, horse riding, or hiking one of the various nature trails in the rolling green hills.
Day 4-5 Hogsback (2B,2L,2D)
The Hogsback mountains, in the Eastern Cape, are a part of the Amatola mountain range. The mountains are an ideal location to relax and soak up the scenery. Spend two days hiking along the many trails in the area, rock climbing or abseiling the many cliffs, or just relaxing by the garden at the hotel.
Day 6 Addo Elephant National Park (B,L,D)
Today we descend from the mountains of the Hogback area and cross many unique valleys as we continue on to the Addo Elephant National Park, a unique wildlife area. Although famous for the Addo elephants, this park is home to a wide variety of wildlife, and we embark on an afternoon game drive in search of the resident elephants, black rhino, lion, buffalo and even leopard.
Day 7-8 Tsitsikamma (2B,2L,2D)
Indigenous Tsitsikamma forests surround the campsite in the village of Storms River. Optional Activities in the area include hiking a portion of the Otter Trail or along the coastline, abseiling, scuba diving, snorkeling, boat rides, canoeing, whale watching, or even the world’s highest bungee jump. On Day 8, we’ll visit the breathtaking Tsitsikamma National Park for nature walks along the rugged coastline.
Day 9 Oudtshoorn (B,L,D)
After visiting "The Heads" in Knysna, a town nestled on a tranquil lagoon on the coast, we take a scenic drive to travel over the Outeniqua Mountains into the area known as Klein Karoo (“Little Karoo”), where we make the quiet town of Oudtshoorn our base. In the late afternoon, we’ll visit the interesting Cango Caves.
Day 10 Stellenbosch (B,L)
