Stopping to take in spectacular views along Route 62, exploring the fascinating Cango Caves, hiking in Tsitsikamma National Park, testing out the local cuisine with a traditional braai (BBQ), taking in the beauty of the world-famous Garden Route.
Mild temperatures, lush forests and supreme comfort aren’t what many people think of when they hear ‘Africa.’ But then again, most people never explore South Africa’s Western Cape. It’s their loss, really; this trip incorporates an unbeatable combination of beaches, coves, cuisine and accommodation. And there’s plenty of the other Africa on hand, too; the region’s ruggedly beautiful scenery guarantees you’ll get plenty of both the Africa you know—and the one you just fell in love with.
