South Africa - Route 62 & Garden Route

Self-driving is a wonderful way to explore Route 62 - known to be one of the longest wine routes. The drive itself takes you to quaint towns and quirky stops en route. Allow at least 5 hours to enjoy the route as you head to the historical town of Oudtshoorn where one can visit the Cango Caves or enjoy a tour of an ostrich farm. Afterwards, you can continue onto a private lodge with overlooks the Indian Ocean and is known for its pristine local flora, fynbos. Then we would recommend staying a couple of nights in the town of Knysna. 

Kynsa is well known for being one of the top destinations along the Garden Route. From Knsyna you can either decide to travel back to Cape Town or head North to Port Elizabeth and finish off with an Eastern Cape safari experience as an add-on to your amazing holiday.
