Day-by-Day Itinerary
You are met at George Airport and transferred 40 minutes to Gondwana Game Reserve. Settle into your fynbos villa with views of the Langeberg Mountains. Your first afternoon game drive looks for lion, elephant, rhino and buffalo.
Morning and evening drives explore the reserve's varied landscapes, from fynbos-covered hills to river valleys. Gondwana is home to the Big Five as well as cheetah and many antelope species. In the afternoon, join a conservation talk or relax at the pool.
Join a guided walk to learn about fynbos plants, which make up one of the world's six floral kingdoms. In the afternoon, take part in a conservation experience such as rhino monitoring. Dinner is served in the boma.
After a final morning drive, transfer two hours east to Knysna. Check in to your lagoon-side hotel and spend the afternoon exploring the waterfront. In the evening, enjoy a sunset cruise across the lagoon.
Visit the Knysna Heads and walk the forest trails of the Garden Route National Park. Stop for lunch at a forest café. Spend the evening in town at one of Knysna's seafood restaurants.
Drive to Plettenberg Bay for the Robberg Peninsula hike, with seals and dramatic ocean views. In the afternoon, choose a boat-based marine safari or time on the beach. Your farewell dinner is in Knysna.
After breakfast, transfer back to George Airport for your flight home.
