Discover Cape Town, the Winelands and the Garden Route with your choice of hotel and luxury safari - includes flights, rental car, game drives & more

Immerse yourself in the spellbinding natural beauty of South Africa on a self-drive adventure across the iconic Western Cape. Your escape begins amidst the majestic backdrop of Cape Town, where towering mountain peaks drop dramatically into the turquoise waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Set out along sweeping coastal highways, rolling through emerald valley vineyards, quaint towns, and untouched wildlife sanctuaries that define this breathtaking region. From the iconic flat-topped silhouette of Table Mountain to the pristine beaches of the Garden Route, this landscape promises pure rejuvenation.

Tailor your journey to suit your schedule by choosing between a 10-night itinerary starting in Cape Town and ending in Port Elizabeth, or a more extensive 14-night tour that starts and ends in Cape Town - both offering distinct safari experiences. Throughout your journey, design your dream escape at your own pace with an included rental car, featuring optional delivery straight to your hotel for total convenience. Your road trip comes complete with thrilling game drives in private reserves alongside opportunities to spot penguin colonies, venture into deep limestone caves, and walk lush forest canopy trails.
