Tour Plan

Day 1

Welcome to the start of your Cape Town to Port Elizabeth tour. We wave farewell to the Mother City and Table Mountain and head straight for one of the best whale watching destinations in the world. That’s right, if you visit South Africa between July and November you are in luck because it is whale season! And trust us, it is quite a sight to admire the ocean’s giants, the travelling Southern Right whales, when we go on a boat cruise. We’ll be spending the night in this town that is known for its crisp, soul-soothing ‘champagne air’ – did you know that doctors in the 1800s prescribed a visit to this town for rest and recuperation

Day 2

Your second day is a combination of history, adventure, and learning more about the magic of plants. We start the day with a visit to an old Dutch Reformed Church, rich with history, which was built in the early 1900s. We are certain that you must have heard about the famous Aloe Ferox plant. You will join a tour and learn more about the medicinal benefits and healing properties of this plant and also get insight into the era of sea traders and explorers by visiting a maritime museum in a coastal town where you can enjoy a walk, possibly do a ziplining adventure, and visit an ancient cave

Day 3

This morning you will wake up in the Karoo, South Africa’s semi-arid desert. The area is home to magnificent sunsets, sunrises, natural wonders, and a lot of ostriches – in fact, it is known as the ostrich capital. We will go to an ostrich show farm where you can see an ostrich’s journey from egg to feather and you can even feed these flightless birds and stand on ostrich eggs, don’t worry it won’t break – the shells are very strong. Part of the day is a trip to caves that are more than 20 million years old; you will experience the different chambers through an easy walk and that’s not the only cave you will visit today, there’s another one up for exploring! Join us as we make our way to two more natural phenomena – one by the coast, and one atop a hill where a river carved the shape of Africa through the mountains

Day 4

You are now in the heart of the beautiful Garden Route and to kick things off we will hop on board a ferry on a half-day activity to explore the indigenous coastal and fynbos forest. You can look forward to spectacular viewpoints, a specialist guide sharing information, a hike, going into an ancient sea cave, and having lunch under a canopy of trees. Afterward we will have some leisure time for shopping, and also visit and learn more about the vibrant township culture

Day 5

We will visit the world’s first free-roaming multi-species primate sanctuary which stretches out over a space of 12 hectares – eco-tourism is no monkey business. Deep within the Tsitsikamma forest, there is a variety of opportunities to take part in adventure-filled activities – from swinging from treetop to treetop to bungy jumping from the world’s highest bungy jump from a bridge and taking a walk on South Africa’s most famous suspension bridge tucked between the mountains and ocean

Day 6

It’s your last day with us and we are making sure to end things on a high note before you board your flight in Port Elizabeth to your next destination. Would you like the chance to possibly see the big five? Get the cameras ready. We will be guided by a specialised ranger on a safari in South Africa’s third-biggest national park which is home to more than 700 elephants, lions, buffaloes, and a variety of smaller game
