ITINERARY
Day 0 - Pre-Departure in Cape Town (if included in package)
We pick you up at your accommodation in Cape Town or from the airport in the afternoon and then we spend a chilled evening at Once in Cape Town or Ashanti Backpackers, enjoying the sights and sounds of the Mother City. We’ll get together in the evening for the pre-tour safety briefing and chat about what you can expect on the tour, which activities you’d like to add and answer any questions you might have.
Day 1 - Mossel Bay
We wake up bright and early and head out of Cape Town to your first adventure… ziplining through the mountains! After that we’ll grab a quick lunch and head to the Garden Route. We’ll arrive in Mossel Bay in time for sunset drinks with a breathtaking view…
Day 2 - Mossel Bay
Today we explore the historic parts of Mossel Bay with a short hike on the majestic St. Blaize cliffs and swim at the famous ‘Poort’ rock pools or at Santos Beach. You can choose to do some adrenaline-pumping activities or just chill and enjoy the view before we enjoy sunset drinks and a traditional South African braai.
Day 3 - Nature's Valley
We start the day with a 3-hour Game Drive and try to spot the Big Five. Then we lazily make our way to Plettenberg Bay with some stops at magical farm stalls and craft markets on the way. Explore more adventurous activities in the Crags and Nature’s Valley and then enjoy a delicious homemade dinner around the fire.
