Here we visit the world famous and stunning limestone cave – Cango Caves* (optional cost as it is only for able bodied people – unfortunately not accessible at all), one of the many Ostrich Show Ranches and the Cango Wildlife Farm.

After a leisurely drive back with breathtaking views we relax for the 2nd night at Sedgefield. (B/L/D)

Today we take a drive through the Wilderness and the Lake district, along one of the world’s most picturesque train routes to Knysna .

After a fascinating stop at Knysna Head and a boat cruise on Knysna Lagoon we travel to the hart of the Garden Route – the Tsitsikama National Park which embraces an 80km strip of superb coastline together with a marine reserve that stretches 5 km offshore.

Here you can relax or depending on the conditions on the trails, go into in the forest which is richly endowed with plant life and birds, the rock pools teem with colourful marine life; and whales, dolphins & sea otters can often be seen sporting close to the shoreline. (B/L/D)

 Day 4

In the morning you have the chance to visit the Monkeyland, Birds of Eden and the Elephant Sanctuary where you can do a “Trunk in hand tour” (Elephant-back Ride* also available on request at optional cost) or you can take some time out and just relax.

After an exiting or peaceful morning our journey takes us to Stormsriver, the Adventure centre of the Garden Route with the Bloukrans Bungi-jump* (216M!!), one of the highest in the world.
