From the Eastern Cape, we head back towards the Garden Route and to the World’s highest Bungy Bridge at Bloukrans (plenty of time to jump for those thrill seekers). This 216-m high bungy is a true marvel to behold, even for those that have a fear of heights! Our journey leads us to the Garden Route Game Lodge where we will also overnight in the luxury accommodation. We will do a late afternoon safari drive where we will have the opportunity to view rhino, lion, buffalo, cheetah and many varieties of antelope species. A sumptuous and varied buffet dinner is served at the lodge and is yet another highlight! (Breakfast, Dinner)

I had such a good time - so glad I booked this trip! Mawande was an amazing guide and host, articulate and informed and I learnt so much about SA and its history thanks to him. He really went above and beyond trying to spot giraffes and so on for us on the road side and stopping when we asked. And patiently explaining SA politics and history. It was a small group of 8 and we gelled pretty well. I felt comfortable as a solo traveller and safe at all times. The itinerary was pretty non stop but I feel like it was worth it as I got a good insight into the different areas of the two cape regions we visited - I'd booked the single room option in hostels, we got upgraded to the guest house the first night which was gorgeous and the hostel the second night was fun and set in amongst amazing greenery. The Lodge on the final night was just beautiful. If anything I wish the trip had been longer - it really warrants a week so you can properly explore, but if you have limited time like I did then go for it!

This is a fantastic way to see the garden route. Benjamin was a super driver and guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and made the whole tour. The garden route game lodge was superb.

I have nothing but praise for our tour and tour guide Mawabde. The places we stayed at were all good especially De Akker guest house, where everything was immaculate. Also The Garden Route Animal Park. I would certainly recommend this tour

Thx Mawande for making this Tour to a great experience! The more or less typical touristic tour has been unique because of Mawande. His knowledge and expertise in case of all topic’s concerning South Africa’s landscapes, Nature, History or everyday features was fantastic. During he drove us safely through the route, we had some really exciting conversations and learned an incredible amount of fascinating information. Some of the items on the program were not in my personal interest and they are designed for the maximum tourism (e.g. Ostrichfarm or Elephantpark). Nevertheless our guide made the journey through the beautiful landscape to a wonderful experience so I gained a better insight into this special country and places despite the short time.

Starting with our guide Christopher, such a great speaker, full of knowledge and such a nice guy . Every place we visited was amazing, the highlight was viewing the Cheetah and Rhino at the garden game lodge though I thoroughly enjoyed everything ! Views were magnificent and all I can say is book it !!
