4 Days, 3 Nights

Between Cape Town in the south, and East London on the eastern Cape coast, runs an astoundingly beautiful stretch of coastline, the Garden Route, South Africa’s own garden of Eden.  Four four exceptional days, you will be taken from the spectacle of the world-renowned Cango Caves to the flamboyant ostriches on one of the vast feather farms.  Journey by ferry to the Featherbed Nature Reserve at the entrance on Knysna lagoon, and persuade you to taste some delectable oysters in the oyster capital of South Africa.  Meandering along the coastline, it’s on with those walking shoes for an inspiring stroll through the towering age-old trees for which the Tsitsikamma National Park is revered.
