Day 1's route & travel time: Sedgefield to Cape Town ± 480km (± 6hrs). We leave the mother city behind and head east along the N2 past Swellendam, the third oldest town in South Africa to a Private Game Reserve on the edge of the Garden Route.

Our first adventure is a safari game drive where we search for lions, cheetah, hippo, elephants, buffalo and many more wild animals, from the back of an open 4x4 vehicle. Your experienced game ranger will share their fast knowledge of the area and local wildlife.

After lunch, we head further up along the Garden Route. We have some options available for the rest of the day. We can either make our way to another Private Game Reserve, Indalu, where you will have the opportunity to join an optional Elephant viewing activity. Or we head on through to the beautiful town of Wilderness, lying in the foothills of the Outeniqua Mountains in a region of incomparable beauty. Here you have the option to either: 1) Experience a guided fun forest and bush quad bike ride, twisting through trees and around bends, OR 2) Discover the natural beauty of Kaaimans by enjoying a kayak trip and visit a waterfall.

We end the day at our accommodation in the small coastal town of Sedgefield, renowned for its diverse and picturesque landscapes, where you have time to sit back, relax and enjoy the African sunset. The town is surrounded by lush forests, serene lakes, and pristine beaches.* Entry into the Boulders Beach colony not included
