Garden Route holidays
Stretching for 300 kilometres along the coast of South Africa, the Garden Route is one of the country’s most popular self-driving holiday destinations. It takes in temperate forests, sandy beaches and charming towns where you can watch whales migrating or feast on fresh oysters straight off the rocks.
During a self-drive holiday along the Garden Route, you can overnight in Hermanus, Oudtshoorn and Knysna while enjoying the region’s exceptional dining experiences. Refresh with a swim or surf in the warm waters of the Indian Ocean, explore spectacular nature reserves and get up close to wildlife at Birds of Eden and Monkeyland.
You can easily combine your tour of the Garden Route with a safari in Madikwe Private Game Reserve or wildlife spotting in Kruger National Park. Let our team of experts customise a South Africa itinerary and accommodation package so you can discover the best this country has to offer.
