DAY 4 Oudtshoorn > Stellenbosch/ Cape Town

Depart from Stellenbosch or Cape Town on the N2. See the Cape Peninsula and False Bay spread out beneath you from the top of Sir Lowry's Pass.

Arrive in the coastal town of Mossel Bay by early afternoon to walk on wide golden beaches or see the Big 5 (excluding leopard) on an optional extra 4x4 drive (see cost estimate under OPTIONAL extra page) at a nearby game reserve.

Overnight in Mossel Bay.

Wilderness 18km of beaches cooled by sea spray, five lakes, five rivers and two estuaries, Wilderness is one of nature's jewels in the crown and is a protected National Park. Canoe on the Wilderness lagoon and watch the bird life while we glide over the water in our pure nature encounter.

Nature's Valley - We'll take a swim in the warm Indian Ocean on this wide, sandy beach that stretches into the distance.

From Knysna we will drive through the Garden of Eden, a landscape of indigenous forests, the Outeniqua Mountains and a rugged coastline.

Via the two scenic passes of Groot River and Bloukrans we get a bird's eye view of the Garden Route before we arrive at the Tsitsikamma National Park.

Overnight in Storms Rivier, within the indigenous Tsitsikamma Forest.

Tsitsikamma National Park  Spend the morning in paradise as we explore the marine reserve with its unique combination of dramatic coastal and forest landscapes. Walk along forest trails to a suspension bridge and find a quiet spot from where to absorb this beauty.

Bloukrans Bungy Jump Face your fear and jump from the world's highest bungy jump or watch the adrenaline junkies as they scream through the air. (This is an optional extra. Please refer to the OPTIONAL extra page for cost estimates.)

Elephant Sanctuary  Meet these huge but lovable creatures with an experienced guide who will teach you everything about elephants' background, behaviour and characters. Touch, feel and feed the elephants and fall in love on a trunk-in-hand stroll. (This is an optional extra. Please refer to the OPTIONAL extra page for cost estimates.)

Oudtshoorn A town in the semi-desert Klein Karoo, offering a more harsh kind of beauty as the setting sun paints the Swartberg and Outeniqua mountains in shades of pink.

Cango Caves  These caves are an illuminated wonderland of subterranean magic and mystery. Our adventure tour will explore three kilometres of passageways that lead to vast halls inside the earth, where colourful stalactites hang from the roof like ancient chandeliers.

Ostrich farm We tour an ostrich farm, where the more daring among us can ride the ostriches (within weight limits). The rest of us get to stand on their eggs - and make sure your friends take a picture of you hugging and kissing the world's most friendly female ostrich, Betsie.

Cape Route 62  Along South Africa's famous country road you'll capture the beauty of high mountains, twisting passes, rugged Karoo plains, vineyards and orchards in your personal road movie.

We will reach Cape Town and Stellenbosch by nightfall.
