Travel from Port Elizabeth to Cape Town on a private 7-day journey combining the spectacular Garden Route with an unforgettable 5-star Big Five safari.
Your experience begins in the Eastern Cape with two nights at Kariega Private Game Reserve’s 5-star Settlers Drift Luxury Tented Lodge. Set in a malaria-free wilderness, this exclusive safari lodge offers just nine spacious tented suites and an immersive African bush experience.
Enjoy morning and afternoon safari drives with experienced rangers as you explore Kariega in search of lion, elephant, rhino, leopard and buffalo. Between game drives, relax at the lodge, enjoy the views from your private deck and experience the tranquillity of the African wilderness.
After your safari, continue west along the Garden Route.
Discover the ancient forests and dramatic coastline of Tsitsikamma National Park, explore the coastal beauty of Plettenberg Bay, experience the famous Knysna Heads and travel through the spectacular Outeniqua Mountains into the Little Karoo.
Continue through Oudtshoorn before completing your journey in Cape Town.
This private itinerary has been designed for travellers who want to experience South Africa beyond a conventional group tour. Enjoy the flexibility of private transport and a dedicated guide while combining three of the country’s most memorable experiences: Big Five safari, Garden Route scenery and Cape Town.
The two-night Kariega stay allows enough time to experience the reserve properly rather than rushing through a single safari drive.
Accommodation is carefully selected to complement the journey, with the safari stay providing the signature 5-star experience.
This is an ideal choice for couples, families, friends and private groups looking for a comfortable, immersive and memorable South African adventure from the Eastern Cape to Cape Town.
Please note: Wildlife sightings are never guaranteed, as animals move freely in their natural environment. The itinerary may be adjusted slightly according to weather, road conditions, lodge schedules and attraction availability while maintaining the overall experience.
