Leisure Activities

The Garden Route

The stunning “Garden Route” is a mix of ancient forests, golf courses, craft centres, holiday destinations, mountain hideaways and secluded communities. It stretches from Mossel Bay to the Storms River Mouth. Driving the garden route is a fantastic experience with so many activities and places to see on the journey. You can do it all in one go and it will take you about 10 hours, but that’s such a waste. To do it justice, it’s recommended that you stop off on route and spread the journey over 3 to 5 days.

Cape Town and The Western Cape

Described as one of the most beautifull places to visit in the world, the Western Cape offers an abundance of stunning locations and fantastic experiences. The choice of activities include wine tasting, hiking, whale watching and exciting helicopter trips. There are also stunning beaches. Cape Town is situated beneath the breath taking Table Mountain and is a port city with plenty of things to see and do. There’s also no lack of fantastic restaurants serving delicious cuisine.

Kruger National Park

For the ultimate holiday experience, nothing beats the excitement of a wild life safari, and one of the most famous game reserves in the world is Kruger National Park. Not only can you track the wild-life during the day, but you can also take a night game drive. Another interesting option is a walking safari!
