South Africa, 11 Days · Tailor-made by car
Route of Southern Africa's Paradises
Experience the true South Africa admiring the wildlife of its fascinating national parks and its spectacular coastline
And between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth is the so-called Garden Route, the ultimate South African journey. The best way to explore this breathtaking itinerary is on a road trip, as your car will take you to some simply stunning locations and must-see sights. Our proposal takes in everything from the exuberant vegetation and marine wonders of the Tsitsikamma National Park; the semi-desert region of Karoo, also known as the capital of ostriches; the natural habitat of wild animals in conservation parks such as Addo Elephant National Park; and other treasures of nature such as caves and lagoons. You'll also soak up South African culture on the streets, get to admire urban architecture (with modern touches added to a colonial past), savour varied cuisine and meet wonderfully welcoming people. Everything will captivate you in this country where you'll be left wanting for more and more. And on top of all this, you can round off your trip enjoying numerous activities and sports in an unsurpassable environment. Just imagine, for example, a once-in-a-lifetime adventure while overlooking the Indian Ocean. Simply incredible!

Destinations Visited
Important remarks
- Driving in South Africa. 1. We recommend driving in South Africa with an international driving permit. 2. Keep in mind that many paths are roads of dirt and sand, and very few of them are asphalt, which requires drivers to go slowly and carefully. It will undoubtedly take you more time to cover the route than your GPS indicates. 3. Be careful with exceeding speed limits, since heavy fines are imposed. 4. We recommend a full tank before undertaking long routes because stations are few and far between in some areas.
- Triple rooms in Africa are generally rooms with twin beds or a double, in which a folding bed is installed to accommodate the third person. Due to the inconvenience this causes, we advise against using this option as far the possible.
- Check-in time at the hotel on the day of arrival depends on each establishment, but in no case will it be before 3:00 p.m., unless otherwise indicated.
- The proposed excursions and tours for each day are purely suggestions, as you can tailor the trip to suit your times, tastes and needs.
- A credit card is considered a guarantee, so sometimes you will need one for check-in at hotels.
- Hotels usually have cots available. Otherwise, babies will have to share a bed with an adult.
- To pick up your rental car, you'll need a credit (not debit) card in the name of the person who made the booking, who must also be the named driver of the vehicle.
- Consult the necessary documentation to enter the destinations visited and for transit in the countries where air stopovers are made.
