Boplaas
Begin your "meander" along the world’s longest wine route, Route 62, with a tasting of some of the finest port in the land. Watch the winelands turn to dusty country roads as you arrive in Oudtshoorn. Admire the astounding formations found in the Cango Caves, and a night-sky that seems to be overflowing with glittering stars.
Traveling further up the East Coast you'll continue into the Garden Route countryside, with the views becoming filled with emerald-green indigenous forests and azure ocean blues. The temperate climate mixed with the relaxed atmosphere makes it easy to sit back, relax and enjoy the serene scenery. Only the call of a safari and an African-style fine dining indulgence will convince you to leave your luxury tent at Botlierskop Game Reserve. Keep an eye out for members of the "Big 5" during two 3-hour 4x4 game drives.
Spend your last day taking in cultural influences in Mossel Bay, where the beauty of the wild ocean is matched only by the imposing majesty of the Outeniqua Mountain Range.
Please note: a minimum of two people per booking is required, but this tour is run exclusively for you. The itinerary is flexible and can be tailored to spend more time at the tour highlights that interest you the most. All accommodation listed is subject to availability, and the itinerary may run in reverse to match available options. Alternative accommodation options at a similar quality standard will be offered if preferred options are fully booked.
Itinerary
You’ll be collected from your accommodation in the morning to start your journey along Route 62, South Africa’s longest and most famed wine route. A brief stop in the quaint town of Barrydale allows for the opportunity to stretch your legs and have a spot of lunch (own expense). Continue to Calitzdorp to taste some of the finest port South Africa has to offer. Tastings are done at an acclaimed winery that has been regarded as a producer at the forefront of premium wine production and known for their world-class port.
Journey through a landscape of rugged plains and towering cliffs to reach Oudtshoorn by the afternoon. Visit the impressive Cango Caves, located in a limestone ridge parallel to the picturesque Swartberg Mountains. During the Heritage Tour, wander through the subterranean wonderland with its colorful stalactites hanging from the roof like ancient chandeliers.

Oudtshoorn
Arrive at Mooiplaas Guesthouse, a family-run, working ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn, a town once known as the ‘feather capital of the world’. Find peace and tranquility in the wide-open spaces of the farmland and its ever-changing purple backdrop of the Outeniqua Mountains. This is African "big sky" country, and the star-studded heavens make this off-the-grid location the ideal place for stargazing. Dine at the main house with the owner’s set menu with the option to try local treats including delicious and healthy ostrich filet (own expense). After dinner, your knowledgeable guide will point out the spectacular constellations above.
