Getting there : Tours &
Self Drives
Whether you choose to explore this beautiful part of South
Africa on your own steam, or prefer to book a tour, you are
sure to treasure the memories, the experiences, photos and
friends you will gather on The Cape to Addo Route.
It was early one wintry Sunday, when we were picked up in
Cape Town by Cape to Addo Tours. We were a group of nine tourists,
ranging from a Ukrainian school-leaver to a retired gent from
Germany – each with our own unique expectations.
 Every
day of the seven-day tour offered us another awesome experience.
In the evenings, when the day was done, we’d share our
excitement around camp-fires or in the backpacker’s
lounges.
From the Kiwi adrenalin-junkie to the star-gazer, we were
impressed by the awesome scenery, the warm hospitality and
the variety of activities this route has to offer.
It was Spring and time for our next trip. In just a few weeks,
the landscape had painted a fresh, colourful new picture.
We were amazed at the beauty as we drove our car along seemingly
endless wide-open spaces, and manoeuvred our way through breath-taking
passes.
We felt revitalised and completely safe as we discovered quaint
hamlets in the Klein Karoo, and dined in trendy city restaurants.
Despite patches of road-works, the roads were good, and we
didn’t loose our way. (Not a bad feat for two girls!)
As we recall both our trips from Cape Town to Addo, we recognise
that both the organised tour and the self-drive, offer tremendous
value for money, and priceless memories.
We look forward to our next trip along this amazing route,
which we call:
South Africa’s Ultimate Adventure! |
