Two oceans, one lodge night and the Big Five
This compact coastal journey leaves Cape Town for Africa's southernmost point and continues to Garden Route Game Lodge near Albertinia, beneath the Langeberg Mountains. It suits travellers with limited time who still want a proper safari and a taste of the southern Cape coast.
Cape Agulhas and the Langeberg foothills
Travelling via Hermanus, you reach Cape Agulhas, the official meeting point of the Atlantic and Indian oceans. Walk the rugged shoreline and see the historic lighthouse, the second oldest in South Africa and still in service, before heading on to the lodge.
Two guided drives in a private reserve
A late-afternoon drive and a sunrise drive, each about three hours, take you through the reserve in an open safari vehicle with a professional ranger. Sightings depend on conditions and are never guaranteed.
Whale coast and penguins on the way home
After breakfast you return along the coast, stopping at a reptile park, the seaside town of Hermanus with its market and whale-watching cliffs, and Betty's Bay to see African penguins. You are back in Cape Town around 17:00.
