Swartberg & the Garden Route (5 Days)


The aim of this 5-day round trip is to see and enjoy as much as possible of the superb scenery and interest of the Great and Little Karoo, the Swartberg Mountains, and the Garden Route areas.

It is suitable both for Cape residents who know these areas but haven’t visited them for a while (our guide will show you back roads, old secrets and new changes); and also ideal for first-time visitors and those who have just moved into the Cape. Those who do not know the Swartberg area well will be amazed at the superb scenery of these wonderful mountains and the semi-desert valleys near them - a total contrast to the lush green forests and lagoons of the Garden Route.

We stay in Knysna (2 nts) and in the foothills of the Swartberg Mountains north of Oudtshoorn (2). The tour features: the coastal Garden Route, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay, Storms River mouth, the Swartberg Pass, Prince Albert, Meiringspoort gorge, Calitzdorp, Seweweekspoort gorge, the semi-desert Buffels River valley, the quaint Victorian village of Matjiesfontein, the Hex River Valley and more. Optional extras include an ostrich farm, and the Cango Caves.
