For example, around Montagu, you will pass under a charming stone arch and around Calitzdorp, you will see mind-blowing farmlands at the foot of the mountains.
Your destination is even more astonishing that you though! The Cango Caves are an underground wonderland with impressive halls where a lot of stalactites are like hanged up to the ceiling. You will feel like invited to visit the bowels of the earth, which is simply fascinating.
In the evening, you will go back up to the surface of the earth for a night at Oudtshoorn, the world ostrich capital. Eggs, feathers, Biltong,… you will find anything you want in relation to this world’s largest bird.
Day 2: Oudtshoorn – Sedgefield
During the morning, why not strolling trunk in hand with a lovely elephant? That is the opportunity you will have if you choose to try the Elephant Bush Walk in the savannah. Walking a few steps by their sides, touching them and feeding them is an incredible experience. Meanwhile, friendly and knowledgeable handlers will tell you the story of these pachyderms, and help you to better understand their behavior.
A bit further, bordering the Indian Ocean, you are going to explore the Wilderness National Park. You can decide to take one of the many shady hiking paths or enjoy a ride in a canoe. It is the best way to discover the nature as close as possible, rowing gently over stretches of water to the encounter of the local flora and fauna. It is highly recommended if like bird watching!
For people who are fond of doing extreme sports, one of the highest bungee jump in the world is waiting for you at the Tsitsikamma National Park. 216 meters of thrills as if you were trying to fly above the scenery from the Bloukrans bridge. You will remember this moment during your entire life for sure!

An exciting adventure in an open 4×4 with an experienced guide ranger who will know how to lead you towards the park. Be ready for an immersion in the wildlife!
