Before continuing via the scenic Route 62, a region of rolling countryside, fruit farms and country villages, to the Little Karoo.

Mellow Cape on a Guided Basis

Many people prefer to be guided. So our upgrade price below shows the price if you have private touring in Cape Town and the Garden Route and then transfer to Kariega Game Lodge and back to Port Elizabeth (now known as Gqeberha). Contact us for the digital itinerary for this option.

You can also opt to mix it up. Have some guided tours in the city and then an easy self-drive along the scenic Garden Route.

Tailor-make this holiday

As with nearly all our sample safari itineraries, the Mellow Cape can be tailor-made to suit your interests and time-frame. We particularly recommend adding an extra night on safari at Kariega to make a 3 night safari.

We can also adjust the accommodation to suit your budget (to some degree) so chat to us....
