Adventure Route:Cape Town,Garden Route,Safari Tour detail:

Day 1

Fly into Cape Town, pick up your car and then relax.Get yourself ready for the Adventure Route:Cape Town to Garden Route

Day 2

You begin your Adventure Route:Cape Town to Garden Route  with choices… an abseil off Table Mountain and a downhill mountain bike dash on the same day,and if you are still fit in a walk on Lions Head or the beach.

Day 3′

Choose between sandboarding, skydiving, a tandem paraglider flight and sea kayaking. (actually, you should manage to get at least two of those in.)

Day 4

You could dive in the predator tank of the Two Oceans Aquarium,learn to sail or surf  or even learn to dive, but you would need more time for that.

Day 5

Join a trip to either Kamakaze Kanyon or Suicide Gorge,challenging and only offered in summer,ask for details.After the kloofing experience, head off to Hermanus or Betty’s Bay to overnight.

 Day 6

Paddle or surf the Palmiet River, ending with a wine tasting.

Day 7

Drive to Mossel Bay via Cape Agulhas and Swellendam. Plan ahead and book to do the foefie slide near Swellendam. (A foefie slide is a flying fox, this one is big and fast,200m long and 40m high.)

Also consider a bungy jump or bridge swing on the Gouritz Bridge. (If you have a few more days (and your own bike), you could stay at De Hoop National Park and do some gentle mountain bike trails, or if you don’t have a bike and you book ahead  hike the Whale Trail.)

In Mossel Bay, hoose between a horse trail, a dive, a sailing excursion or a sea kayaking trip.

 Day 8

At Wilderness, choose between an abseil, a mountain bike ride,or a tandem (or solo, if you?re licensed) paraglider flight. You could fit two of these into one day. (If you have more time, stop over in Knysna, where you can do another abseil, a gentle, bird-watching canoe trip on the lagoon and a dive on the Paquita  ..it’s a pretty unique dive right in the entrance to the lagoon, so it has its own special challenges. Knysna is also very close to the Harkerville mountain bike trails.)

Day 9

Drive to Plett, stopping at Harkerville to do one of the five mountain bike trails in the forest (you can rent bikes).

Day 10

Paddle out in a sea kayak,you might even see dolphins or depending on season whales.

If you want a better chance of seeing these magnificent marine mammals,take a ride on one of the dolphin viewing boats  or fly over the bay in a glider or fixed wing plane.

Day 11

You could go for a horse ride, or a walk in Robberg Nature Reserve to see the fascinating stone age remains in Nelsons Bay Cave.

 Day 12

Head out to Stormsriver, where you can choose between a long mountain bike trail, a day of tubing, or the Stormsriver Challenge,which consists of a 100m abseil, a half-day tubing excursion and a short or long mountain bike trail (you choose, depending on your fitness level).

 Day 13

An absolute must-do here is the Tree Top Canopy Tour.

Other options include a dive at the Stormsriver Mouth, a series of day walks, and a boat trip up the gorge (if you didn’t do the tubing, you should do this).

Day 14

You could fly out from Plett or George but, if you do,first head just a few hours further east to do the Bloukrans Bungy,the highest in the world.

Day 15

Or, if you have more time,do the bungy as you head further east you could stay over at Jeffrey’s Bay to do some surfing, or even learn to surf.

 Day 16

Then head off to the Greater Addo Elephant Park, or one of the bigger malaria free game safari parks. At Addo you can do a self-drive game viewing excursion, join a ranger on an open safari vehicle, or go horse riding among big game (if your experienced) or on the other side of the fence from the animals (if you?re not.)
