Day 1
We depart from Cape Town at 7:30am (please refer to
Pre-Departure Information) and travel to pretty Hermanus (only in
season) which is famous for its miracle of nature as the Antarctic
whales come into Walkers Bay to calve. Our route to Mossel Bay is
via farmlands of apple/pear orchards and rolling hills with lunch on
route. From here we drive along the scenic route to Sedgefield, our
overnight stop for 2 nights. (D) 
Day 2
After a good breakfast we drive via Georges and the picturesque Outeniqua Pass to the Mecca of South
African ostrich farming - Oudtshoorn. Here we visit the world famous and stunning dripstone 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/D)

Today you have the option to board the "Outeniqua Choo Tioe" steam train* (optional cost as it is not

to the heart of the Garden Route - the Tsitsikamma National Park which embraces an 80km strip of
superb coastline together with a marine reserve that stretches 5 km offshore. Here you can relax
