Safari & Garden Route

ABOUT THIS TRIP

Experience five of South Africa's main highlights on this tour. See the Big Five in two malaria-free game reserves in the north. Breathtaking landscapes await you along Route 62 in the Little Karoo semi-desert. On the Garden Route and south coast, you will discover endless beaches and even whales in season. In the wine regions, you can enjoy fine wines and good food. Cape Town is one of the most beautiful cities in the world.

You don't want to drive yourself, but a small group tour doesn't have the right start date for you and a privately guided tour is too expensive? Then our English-speaking chauffeur-driven tours are just the right alternative. Your private chauffeur will take you from place to place, where you will then take part in privately guided day activities and excursions (with the exception of game viewing activities with other people). However, you do not have the all-round support of a continuous tour guide. All chauffeur-driven tours can start daily and can be adapted to your wishes at any point beforehand. The more people take part in your own chauffeur-driven tour, the lower the price per person.

The 55,000 hectare park is almost circular and encompasses the area of a 1200 million year old volcanic crater with a small lake in the center. The extremely scenic terrain lies in the transition zone between the dry Kalahari and the wetter lowveld, so both types of vegetation can be found here. The park is home to the Big Five and many other African wild animals and has made a name for itself in particular for its leopard breeding program.

You will spend the night in the luxurious and intimate Tambuti Lodge, which is located in a private part of the northwest of the park that is only accessible to overnight guests. The five detached suites are furnished in modern African style and equipped with a shower/WC with separate bath and additional outdoor shower, air conditioning, minibar, TV, safe, tea/coffee making facilities and a veranda with seating.
