Three nights in Cape Town and three on the Garden Route, with a flight home from George.
This is the classic South African holiday without a safari. You spend three nights in Cape Town, with the mountain, the Peninsula and the Winelands, then travel along the coast to the Garden Route for three nights near Plettenberg Bay.
It is a gentle, scenic trip for couples and families, and it can be extended with a few nights in the bush at either end.

Best time for this trip May to Mar
Pack light, neutral colours for game drives, a warm fleece for early mornings, a sun hat, good sunscreen and insect repellent. Binoculars are provided in the vehicle, but bring your own if you are a keen birder or photographer. Light aircraft have a soft-bag limit of 15 kg per person including hand luggage, so leave the hard suitcases at home.
