Route:

Cape Town – Stellenbosch – Montagu – Oudtshoorn – Addo National Park – Storms River – Knysna – Agulhas – Cape Town

Day 1. Cape Town, arrival

Arrival and transfer from the airport. In the evening, we meet the guides, get to know each other, and discuss the upcoming trip.

Day 2. Cape Town – Stellenbosch, 230 km

Our wheels take us around the entire Cape Peninsula today. The route includes a visit to Boulders Beach and the colony of African penguins, continuing on to the Cape of Good Hope. The journey proceeds along one of South Africa's most beautiful roads, Chapmans Peak Drive. Then we go through the city center to the Winelands – South Africa's wine region. Overnight is spent in Stellenbosch – a city of Victorian mansions, beautiful old buildings, a university, restaurants, and wineries. The accommodation is located in the town itself, so we can take a short walk in the evening.

Day 3. Stellenbosch – Montagu, 280 km

Today's ride takes us on beautiful roads through South Africa's wine and agricultural regions. The day's first stop is in Paarl – one of the three oldest cities in the country, founded by Europeans in the 17th century. Next, a fantastic curving road leads through Bain's Kloof Pass, which is on the list of South Africa's top 10 roads, heading towards the country's second-highest mountain system – the Hex River mountains. The scenery is incredible everywhere, with farms and wineries. The final destination for the day is Montagu, a place famous for its hot springs, especially popular in winter when there is snow in the mountains.

Day 4. Montagu – Oudtshoorn, 240 km

We travel along the R62 highway. If you are looking for something similar to the famous Route 66 in the USA, this is that kind of road. On the way, we will stop at a legendary roadside cafe and visit small, cozy South African towns. We spend the night in Oudtshoorn, which is the center of... ostrich farming! Surrounded by mountains and valleys, there are many farms where you can even ride a real ostrich.

Day 5. Oudtshoorn – Prince Albert – Oudtshoorn, 210 km (30 km gravel)

We continue to enjoy the beautiful roads of South Africa, crossing the Grootswartberg mountain range twice. The route includes a visit to the Cango Caves, a natural landmark, and a stop in the town of Prince Albert, where the South African gold rush practically began. And of course, we will ride through Meiringspoort – another road on the list of the most beautiful in South Africa.

Day 6. Oudtshoorn – Addo National Park, 390 km

We ride along the border of the Great Karoo to the Eastern Cape province, where South Africa's third-largest national park, Addo, is located.

Day 7. Addo National Park, Rest Day

Today we will go on a safari in the national park to see elephants and other African animals.

Day 8. Addo National Park – Storms River, 260 km

Our journey winds its way down to the Indian Ocean coast at Port Elizabeth. We ride along the coast to the town of Storms River. This is where the famous Garden Route begins, which we will take back to Cape Town. The Tsitsikamma National Park is also located here, and a place we will be sure to explore.

Day 9. Storms River – Knysna, 150 km

In the morning, the plan includes a visit to Tsitsikamma National Park and a walk to the Storms River mouth, which is crossed by 3 charming suspension bridges. This is a must-see. On the way to Knysna, a stop is planned at the Bloukrans Bridge, where adrenaline seekers can do a bungee jump. It's worth it – the bridge is 216 meters high. In the evening, the destination is Knysna – a scenic lagoon where we will spend two days.

Day 10. Knysna, Rest Day

We'll explore the lagoon by boat, swim with seals, and hike through the Robberg Nature Reserve – a day of pure relaxation and adventure.

Day 11. Knysna – Agulhas, 390 km

Today we will reach the southernmost point of Africa – Cape Agulhas. Here, two oceans meet: the Indian and the Atlantic. It is still 4200 km to Antarctica.

Day 12. Agulhas – Cape Town, 270 km

On the final day, we will take smaller roads along the ocean back to our starting point – Cape Town. In the evening, a delicious dinner and a recap of our wonderful journey await.
