This 7day tour combines a 5-day Garden Route tour and 2 day tours near the Cape Town region. Subject to availability your combo package may start with the 5day or a day tour first. If you join the 5 day tour your morning pickup transfer service start between 6am to about 8am (subject to your exact address) from your accommodation in Cape Town to reach the Garden Route area by afternoon. Please Note > This day-by-day itinerary serves as a guideline as your trip may need to run in reverse or a different order based on seasonal or operational availability.

Early morning pick up from your accommodation in Cape Town CBD or Stellenbosch (usually between 6 to 8am, subject to traffic and your drop-off address.) You can receive your pickup time a day before. Start this epic road trip journeying along the ever-changing scenery on your first day’s drive from Cape Town to the Southern Cape. Wind your way through mountain passes and get ready for the Route 62, modelled after famous America’s Route 66, but with a distinctly local flavour and known as 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.

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.

You’ll spend the evening here at leisure in this countryside town of Oudtshoorn. Your guide can help you book a restaurant or join the backpacker's group to taste local delights, such as ostrich "sosaties" (kebabs) and "pot brood" (bread cooked on open flames) at this optional 'braai' barbecue experience at extra cost. Enjoy a peaceful evening relaxing at your accommodation around a crackling fire or under the vast twinkling starry night sky. === Accommodation included - subject to availability and stay package option selected: Saver/Dorm> Uthando Backpackers, 3*Comfort > 88 Baron van Reede guesthouse, 4*Luxe > Hlangana Lodge (ask to upgrade to Buffelsdrift)
