4x4 Safari Game Drive
We arrive at Garden Route Game Lodge, a private game reserve, set against the backdrop of the majestic Langeberg mountain Range, which proudly guards the entrance to South Africa’s world famous Garden Route Coast. This award-winning, malaria-free private game reserve is home to an abundance of animal and bird life, including the iconic Big 5.

Here, we embark on an epic 4x4 Safari Game Drive (included), offering you the chance to spot lions, buffalo, hippos, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and more in their natural habitat.

Following our wildlife adventure, we gather for a delicious lunch at the lodge’s Serengeti’s Restaurant. Here, the expansive wooden decks offer sweeping views of the valleys below, providing the perfect setting to relax, unwind, and immerse yourself in the ambient sounds of the African bush.

**Gentle Giants or River Kayaking?
After lunch, we carry on our journey toward our final destination for the day, but not before diving into one last unforgettable adventure.

You’ll have the freedom to choose your own thrill (optional extras):

• Option 1: Indalu Elephant Viewing Experience
  Visit Indalu Game Reserve—named after the Xhosa word for 'nature'. Nestled between rolling hills and quiet valleys, this sanctuary allows gentle giant elephants to roam freely in their natural environment, offering an educational and up-close viewing experience.
  

OR

• Option 2: Kaaimans River Kayaking Excursion
  Opt to discover the tranquil beauty of the Kaaimans River on a scenic kayak trip. Paddle through calm, scenic river channels to uncover a secret waterfall hidden deep within the gorge.
  

Overnight in Sedgefield
Our final stop is Sedgefield, South Africa’s first "CittaSlow" (Slow Town). Nestled between pine-covered hills and a turquoise lagoon, Sedgefield is famous for its laid-back atmosphere, artisanal markets, and pristine beaches. It’s the perfect spot to unwind and breathe in the salt air. Kick off your shoes before dinner and feel the sand between your toes with some beach time at Myoli Beach, a hidden gem known for its vast stretches of golden sand and powerful surf.

Our first destination for the day is Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world, where you can customize your morning with one of three incredible experiences:

Return to Cape Town via Route 62
As our 2-day Garden Route expedition draws to a close, we begin our journey back to Cape Town along the spectacular Route 62. Often compared to America’s Route 66, this is dubbed the longest wine route in the world and is celebrated for its quirky charm and stunning vistas.

As we drive, watch the "Red Stone" mountains and vast, arid plains transform into fertile valleys. We’ll wind through the Tradouw Highlands and pass through eclectic towns like Barrydale. Keep an eye out for the legendary "Ronnie’s Sex Shop" (don't worry, it’s just a world-famous, quirky pub!) and the lush fruit orchards that signal our approach back toward the coast.

As the shadows lengthen, we cross the final mountain passes, descending from the rugged Karoo back into the greenery of the Cape Winelands. We’ll arrive back in Cape Town by the evening.

For your convenience, our team will return you directly to your original departure point, unless you have arranged an alternative drop-off spot with us in advance. Please note that return times are flexible and cannot be guaranteed due to traffic and road conditions. Drop-offs generally take place between late afternoon and early evening, typically ranging anywhere from 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM.
