5 Day Garden Route Tour - Port Elizabeth to Cape Town

Un programme bien rythmé, varié, des hébergements de qualité. John est un guide incroyable, qui a su être à l écoute de nos besoins tout en nous faisant découvrir la sublime garden route. Plus qu un voyage touristique, ce tour est une expérience humaine et culturelle étant donné les nombreux échanges en simplicité et authenticité ! Foncez les yeux fermés.

We really enjoyed our guide’s positive approach and swing the beautiful nature of South Africa! The Caves and ostrich’s farm was so much fun and the drive is gorgeous.

My friend and I joined this five-day Garden Route tour guided by Stafford, and we had the absolute best time! We didn't really know what to expect going in; my friend had been to South Africa only once prior as a child, and I had never been before. We arrived in Port Elizabeth, were picked up by Stafford, and embarked on our five-day journey towards Cape Town. We started in Jeffrey's Bay where we spent the entire first day. To be honest, Jeffrey's Bay was our least favorite part of the trip. The town was a little empty, the weather wasn't great, and there really wasn't a whole lot to do. However, our dinner in Jeffrey's Bay (restaurant called Kitchen Windows) ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. Once we left Jeffrey's Bay, everything started to go uphill. We spent the next day hiking to the Suspension Bridge, which was beautiful and a nice little workout. The scenery in that part of the trip was just breathtaking. We then stayed overnight in a lovely town called Sedgefield, which we absolutely adored. The next day we traveled to Oudtshoorn where we saw the Cango Caves and went to an Ostrich farm--also a lovely town with great activities surrounding it. The next day, we departed Oudtshoorn and embarked on a rather long drive to Cape Agulhas. The drive was incredibly scenic, and Agulhas is a lovely little town on the southern-most tip of the African Continent. We had an amazing dinner at Gavin's Trattoria. On our final day, we started our coastal drive towards Cape Town, and we stopped on the way to see some penguins and also a good spot for whale watching (we did not see any whales, as it is not whale season currently). We then arrived to Cape Town and went our separate ways. Overall, the only thing I would change about the tour is to allow a bit of time to explore Port Elizabeth on the first day rather than spending an entire day in Jeffrey's Bay. Other than that, everything was wonderful, and it was a pleasure having Stafford as our guide. I could not recommend this tour and Stafford enough! Wonderful experience!
