package overview
Cape Town
Garden Route & Cape Town Discovery
Knysna · Cango Caves · Oudtshoorn · Cape Town
Rather than flying straight into Cape Town, this package takes the long way round — landing in Port Elizabeth and following the legendary Route 62 west, with stops at Knysna's lagoon, the limestone chambers of the Cango Caves, and an ostrich farm in Oudtshoorn along the way. By the time Cape Town's Table Mountain and Cape Point come into view on Days 5 and 6, you've already seen a side of South Africa most short trips skip entirely. At Exotic Destinations KE, this is our dedicated road-trip itinerary for travellers who want the Garden Route as the main event, not an afterthought.
package highlights
