Tailor-made options

As with nearly all our sample itineraries, it can be tailor-made to suit you and your interests and time-frame. As this is a sample itinerary, you can also reverse the trip and start in Cape Town and end in the Drakensburg Escarpment.

If you have more time, we would recommend adding a night or 2 in the Garden Route. Or if you how prefer to do a self drive you can pick up your rental car at the nearest airport.
