Faces of the Cape Self-drive

This relaxing, luxurious Faces of the Cape self drive holiday is ideal for easy-going travelers or a romantic honeymoon. You stay in luxurious romantic country house lodges and one of our favourite hotels in Cape Town.

This self drive holiday begins with 4 nights in cosmopolitan Cape Town. You then explore three contrasting areas. You first head to the dramatic Cederberg mountains with its rockpools, rock art, walking and biking possibilities. Next you travel south to the verdant Cape Winelands. Your final destination is the exciting Whale Coast near Hermanus.

This self drive holiday is ideal anytime of the year! But it's particularly beautiful from August to November when wild flowers are in bloom and the Southern Right whales are breeding off the coast of South Africa. However its lovely through our summer months as well from December to March. It is easy to add a safari afterwards to make a longer holiday or honeymoon.

Optional Safari Extension

If you have time, we strongly recommend adding a two night safari extension to Sanbona Game Reserve at stay at either Dwyka Tented Camp or Tilney Manor. You could take one of the nights from Grootbos if you need to make it a shorter itinerary.

Add-ons:

Why not enjoy some of the best destinations that Africa can offer by adding a few nights in the Kruger, Victoria Falls or Botswana. Or 2 or 3 nights at a luxurious beach resort in Mozambique.

Note: You can also ask us to quote on this itinerary using private transfers if you don't wish to drive yourselves.
