Western Cape Grand Tour with Bushmans Kloof
Cape Town, Winelands, Cederberg, Garden Route & a Big Five Reserve
Overview
The complete Western Cape in one trip: Cape Town, the Cape Winelands, the Cederberg at Bushmans Kloof, the Garden Route, and a malaria-free Big Five safari at Sanbona. Over twelve days you take in the city and the mountain, historic wine estates, ancient rock art and a five-star wilderness spa, coast and forest, and finally free-roaming lions across the Klein Karoo — all without a single malaria tablet and all reachable by road.
This is the flagship route for travellers who want everything the region does well, joined into one seamless trip. Bushmans Kloof anchors the middle of the route with rock art, wellness and quiet; Sanbona provides the Big Five and the famous white lions; Cape Town, the Winelands and the Garden Route give the trip its range. Private guiding and five-star lodges throughout make it a milestone-worthy celebration.
Who It's For
For couples marking a milestone and travellers on a once-in-a-lifetime trip who want the full sweep of the Western Cape — city, wine, mountains, coast and Big Five — in a single, polished, malaria-free trip.
