Itinerary
Port Elizabeth Cape Town
Depart London
Depart London.
Start Port Elizabeth; transfer to Sundays River Valley
Welcome to South Africa, our tour begins in Port Elizabeth. Depending on your arrival time, spend the day exploring or relaxing. There will be a welcome briefing in the evening to discuss the adventures to come.
Accommodation: La Mer Guesthouse (or similar)
Game drives in Addo National Park
This morning, we head to Addo Elephant National Park, home to some 550 elephants (up from just 16 when the park was formed) plus black rhinos, leopards, lions, buffalos, hyenas, zebras, various antelopes and dung beetles. We enjoy a game drive in our own vehicle and have the option of a second (at extra cost).
Accommodation: Avoca Guest Farm (or similar)
Drive to Storms River; explore Tsitsikamma
Today we head west to the official start of the Garden Route at Storms River and Tsitsikamma National Park. Stretching along the coast, the park, which comprises rocky coastlines, fairytale forests, waterfalls and rivers, gets its name from a local word meaning ‘place of abundant water’. We can hike in the forest and along suspension bridges. The area is also a great place for bird enthusiasts with a variety of sea, forest and fynbos (scrubland) species present.
Accommodation: Storms River Mouth Rest Camp (or similar)
Free day to relax, walk or explore the region
We spend the day at Tsitsikamma, where several hikes are available plus other activities (some are weather dependent, such as canoeing).
Accommodation: Storms River Mouth Rest Camp (or similar)
Morning visit Knysna Heads; afternoon to Oudtshoorn
We start our day with a visit to Knysna Heads, two tall sandstone cliffs that form a channel through which the turbulent Indian Ocean enters the calmer Knysna Lagoon. We have a bit more time to relax in town before leaving for Oudtshoorn after lunch.
As we head inland and over a pass, the landscape changes drastically and we enter the Little Karoo, a much dryer, hotter region. Oudtshoorn itself became renowned for its trade in ostrich feathers and is still the ostrich capital of the world. Our guesthouse is out of town in De Rust, a tranquil, rural Karoo village.
Accommodation: House Martin Guest Lodge (or similar)
Visit Cango Caves and Meiringspoort Waterfall
We spend all day in and around Oudtshoorn. We start by visiting the Cango Caves, an extensive complex of caverns with stalactites and stalagmites. We then enjoy lunch at Buffelsdrift, where we overlook a waterhole occasionally visited by elephants, giraffes and springboks. In the afternoon, we visit the beautiful Meiringspoort Waterfall and enjoy a short walk in the area. (The order in which we do these activities may be reversed).
Accommodation: House Martin Guest Lodge (or similar)
To Hermanus via Mossel Bay
Returning towards the coast, we stop at Mossel Bay and the Dias museum complex, which reveals the influence of early Portuguese sailors on South Africa and is home to the Post Office Tree (an old milkwood tree where seafarers once left letters to be taken home by Portuguese sailors). We then continue to Hermanus, the whale capital of the world.
Accommodation: Windsor Hotel (or similar)
Free day; whale watching in season
Today is a free day to relax and enjoy Hermanus. From July to November, southern right whales are easily spotted from shore as they frolic in Walker Bay. A whale crier sounds his kelp horn when he spots whales off the coast. Those who want can also do a boat-based whale-watching trip. There are also several other activities available from hikes to river cruises and lagoon kayaking, which are available year-round.
Accommodation: Windsor Hotel (or similar)
Meals included: Breakfast
*Join us to celebrate Exodus’ 50th anniversary! Select departures of this trip feature extra inclusions to mark the occasion: a Hermanus whale watching boat trip, a local birthday celebration and a special edition Exodus kitbag. For departure dates, see the Dates & Prices tab
To wine region; afternoon wine tour and on to Cape Town
Our next destination is the much-celebrated South African wine region. The industry here, which dates to the 17th century and was heavily influenced by French Huguenots, produces some of the best wines in the world. We can taste some of these before continuing to Cape Town, the Mother City.
Accommodation: City Lodge Hotel Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (or similar)
Two days exploring Cape Town, Table Mountain, the Cape Peninsula and Simon's Town penguins
We spend the next two days in and around Cape Town, the most exciting city in South Africa. Our activities in Cape Town will, to some extent, be dictated by the weather as visits to the top of Table Mountain, which has its own micro-climate, are determined by cloud cover and wind. Because of this often temperamental weather, it is best not to prebook the cable car but to buy tickets on the spot (not included). Those staying in Cape Town post-tour may opt to visit Table Mountain later if the weather looks as though it may improve.
There is also the option of visiting Robben Island on one of the days; however, we recommend you prebook Robben Island with us before the trip (but pay the tour leader locally).
On one of the days, we head down the Cape Peninsula. We follow the Atlantic Seaboard past the areas of Camps Bay, Llandudno and Hout Bay to the Cape Point via Chapman’s Peak drive, if it is open. The highlight is our visit to the Cape of Good Hope Nature Reserve, home to elands, bonteboks, springboks, wildebeest, baboons and ostriches. Rugged cliffs, unspoiled beaches, shipwrecks and beautiful flora are the main features of the reserve. We walk through the reserve for approximately two hours. We first head to the old lighthouse for the panoramic views, before following the pathway to the new lighthouse, which offers spectacular cliff views. We then follow the downhill path to the Cape of Good Hope. Once we leave the park, we stop at the former Royal Navy base at Simon’s Town and visit the resident penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
Accommodation: City Lodge Hotel Victoria & Alfred Waterfront (or similar)
End Cape Town
On our final day, we have the option of doing a township tour, strolling along the Victoria and Alfred Waterfront or exploring various other parts of Cape Town.

Hotels and guesthouses
We spend 11 nights in a range of hotels and guesthouses, each well located for activities and to keep the drives between destinations relatively short. Properties are comfortable and mostly of a three-star standard. In Cape Town, we’re by the V&A Waterfront, a star attraction in the city that’s packed with restaurants, shops and bars. Our 120-year-old hotel in Hermanus sits opposite Walker Bay, one of the best whale-watching destinations in the world when southern right whales migrate to the bay to breed (July to November).
De Rust: Housemartin Guest Lodge
In the small Karoo town of De Rust is the quaint Housemartin Guest Lodge. Owners Theresa and Jan personally welcome every Exodus group that comes to their home and they take great pride in making their guests as comfortable as possible. The property has 12 rooms, each with a private veranda leading into the garden. There is also a swimming pool plus beautiful indoor and outdoor dining areas. The meals at the guest lodge are a particular highlight with seasonal ingredients sourced from local farms to create classic South African dishes.
Worth knowing
- From the start of 2024, we are upgrading our accommodation in Tsitsikamma National Park on days 3 and 4 from the forest huts to the chalets. This upgrade will provide greater comfort and space plus a beautiful location next to the ocean.

Reviews
Add your own reviewAmazing Adventure down the Garden Route full of Variety!
This itinerary offers something for everyone! From Safaris to National Parks to Whale Watching, City tours and Wine Tasting, every day offers a new adventure and something exciting to look forward to. The pace doesn’t feel to rushed with no long drives and even the slightly longer ones broken up with coffee stops and viewpoints. The East Head Viewpont in Kynesa being a particular highlight of mine! You meet some lovely locals including the charming owners full of stories at St Martin’s guesthouse and whale watching off the shore line in Hermanus was truly one of the most amazing sites seeing so many whales congregated in the same place breaching and teaching their young to strengthen their fins before heading across to Antarctica to feed. I choose to travel in South Africa’s Spring time because I really wanted to see the Whales migrating in Hermanus, little did I realise but it’s also an excellent time to visit because all the flowers are in bloom so the drives were really stunning, our guide even mentioned that he hadn’t seen the landscapes so green. If you’re looking for a leisurely paced trip with a passion for wildlife, landscapes, food and wine then this ones a winner!
Most Inspirational Moment
For me the most inspirational moment was watching the whales in Hermanus, I did a coastal path walk and a whale watching trip and both were equally amazing. The backdrop of Hermanus and the dramatic rugged coastline was such a lovely setting, there was even a local band playing instruments in the square so the whole town had a exciting buzz and energy to it. The whales get so close to the shore and captivated everyone every time one popped up to breath.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Our group leader was Tallis and he was excellent! He was so full of knowledge and has been leading tours for over 20 years so had a great understanding and knowledge of the local wildlife and culture in South Africa. I had an issue with my bag and Tallis was super proactive in taking me to a local mall to make sure I had some essentials to last me a few days. He was also relentless with contacting the airport staff and airline to ensure I was reuinted with my bag before to long, it was comforting to be that far away from home and have someone who truly cared and went out of his way to make sure I was informed and comfortable. Tallis mentioned at the end that he really enjoys when guests ask him questions so don't be shy and ask as he pretty much has all the answers!
Advice for Potential Travellers
If travelling between August - November make sure you check the weather forecast when your packing! For the first half of the trip we were in coats and winter hats and by the second half shorts, sandles and summer clothes wearing sun cream. We experienced all climates throughout the trip so pack for all weathers. I would also suggest a pair of binoculars because there are so many wildlife spotting opportunities!
Fantastic Varied Trip with an Amazing Group
This was a great trip taking in the best of the Garden Route and all it has to offer. It is a very varied trip, with a fabulous mixture of wildlife, scenery, culture, wine and outdoor activities (hiking, zip-lining, swimming in waterfalls etc).
Most Inspirational Moment
The breadth of experience on this trip is what sets it apart. The variety of activities is excellent, from safari drives in Addo and Schotia, to coastal walks and zip lining in Tsitsikamma, to whale watching and wine tasting near Hermanus, and finally to penguins and history in Cape Town. It is impossible to pick just one moment, as we had such an amazing time throughout the trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tallis was an absolutely amazing guide, very knowledgeable and always in good humour. He went out of his way to organise any and all optional trips for the group, including taking half our group to a bonus wine tasting venue just outside of Hermanus which was a fabulous way to spend a couple of hours in the afternoon after whale watching. He dealt amazingly with the issues we encountered following the storms, either by re-routing our drives where the roads had been washed away or organising alternative restaurants, activities etc without us ever feeling like we were missing out. I missed the first night of the trip in Port Elizabeth due to a combination of British Airways cancelling my international flight and then the huge storm in PE preventing my plane from landing. Tallis managed to contact me when I had landed back at Joburg (after 8 hours and 4 failed attempts to land in PE) and organised to pick me up at at PE airport first thing to following morning on the group's way out of town, so I amazingly did not miss any of the actual trip, for which I am incredibly grateful. He also dealt with two lost baggage issues, arranging for them to be reunited with their owners at two points during the tour. Overall, I could not have asked for a better trip leader.
Advice for Potential Travellers
As others have mentioned, you must pick up any checked baggage in Joburg and re-check it in for the onwards flight to Port Elizabeth. Even better, travel with hand luggage only if possible - there are places on the trip that do laundry for a very reasonable fee. Do the optional extra Schotia safari drive. This small reserve is excellently run and we saw 4 of the Big 5 there (no leopard). Our experience was that Schotia was significantly better in terms of safari drive when compared to Addo. Go prepared for the unexpected and try to embrace it. We had the fall-out from the huge storms in a few places (no power in Tsitsikamma, no water in Hermanus, certain roads detoured) but none of these things had any real impact on the overall enjoyment of the tour and both Tallis and the local hotels did their best to help wherever they could. Accept that these things can happen and are out of any person's control and you will have a fabulous trip with a few bonus stories to tell.
Suggestions
Personally, I loved the 'forest huts' in Tsitsikamma but I know a few people preferred the less 'basic' accommodation. For me, the scenery - you are right on the sea front with crashing waves and endless viewpoints - more than made up for the more rustic accommodation.
A Most Varied and Inspiring Adventure
Like many other previous reviews have already stated, this trip covered so many different experiences-lots of wildlife from elephants, big cats, whales, many antelope species, birds, reptiles and insects. Also stunning scenery including mountains,fynbos vegetation,semi-desert and the wild cape coast as well as the interesting and varied city life of Cape Town itself.
Most Inspirational Moment
There were so many inspirational moments making it difficult to highlight just one. The optional Schotia Game Drive, the walks at the Tsitsikama National park and others, visiting Robben Island and an optional visit to the Langa township which we were able to do as we stayed on in Cape Town for an extra 2 nights, Also being able to get to the top of Table Mountain on the only day that it was clear enough to do so.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Tallis was superb in every way. His organisation and knowledge of all things South African and his sharp sense of humour made the trip full of so many different experiences. We have been on many Exodus trips and he is certainly one of the best leaders we have had.
Advice for Potential Travellers
A highly recommended trip, especially if it is a first time visit to South Africa. I would certainly recommend trying to do a township tour when in Cape Town as it gives a wider experience of the lives of people in and around the city. The City Lodge Hotel booked our trip for us which was a morning tour.
Suggestions
We had superb weather at Tsitsikama National Park but a couple of days later we heard and saw on video that a storm with pounding waves had caused considerable damage to the restaurant and other structures at the Storms River Rest Camp. Hopefully groups following us were not too badly inconvenienced. Also, storms at Hermanus meant all whale watching boat trips were cancelled. We did, however manage to see whales from the shoreline.
Wonderful variety
This was a trip selected for its variety and travel in South African Spring – from whale watching to wine tasting , underground with cave tour to the heights of zip lining – alongside superb locations and great food – and as it’s outside of the main season we had beaches and locations to ourselves the majority of the time
Most Inspirational Moment
Whale watching from the shore in Hermanus was incredible and staying in a log cabin so close to the edge of the thunderous ocean were two of many highlights … and of course your safari on the plains of Addo and Scotia were perfect in every way .
Thoughts on Group Leader
We struck gold with Andrew, he was the best type of guide - knowledgeable , supportive and good fun - took all the stress out of travel and created a great atmosphere for everyone .
Advice for Potential Travellers
Remember the season - if you travel in September it’s still early spring so take warm clothes and waterproofs .
Suggestions
Be aware of ensuring you pick your luggage up at J’burg before you transfer to the Port Elizabeth flight( Exodus include this in your trip notes ) The airport is small but it can be slightly confusing especially if you are in a hurry. So , if you have a few rand for a tip at the beginning , it’s worth finding a porter to guide you to the domestic check in desks . Credit card payments were easy to make throughout .
Amazing holiday
This was an amazing trip, with beautiful scenery, fabulous food and wine, wildlife, and some great places to stay. Would highly recommend it.
Most Inspirational Moment
I love elephants, so seeing them up close in Addo was fantastic. Along with the other wildlife there like zebras and even the dung beetles! The game dive in Schotia was also fab, we saw lion cubs feasting on a recent kill, and a very grumpy-looking buffalo. We watched the sunset from the top of Table Mountain. And visiting Robben Island was so interesting and a moving experience. Oh and the cute penguins at Boulder Beach. Dancing at Marco's African experience restaurant on the last night in Cape Town.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petro was fantastic. Friendly, knowledgeable, excellent driver! She really looked after us. Our group only had four guests in it which meant we had much more of a personalised and flexible experience.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Definitely go for it. I went in late March/early April and the weather was perfect, although a bit breezy in Tsitsikamma. Take a torch for walking back at night there, and also for the times when the electricity goes off for a while (load shedding).
Great Trip
Various scenery and a mix of South Africa, from wildlife to great food (& wine), amazing scenery and relaxed pace
Most Inspirational Moment
I loved Storms River - the energy and scenery produced by the sea - I could watch it all day!
Thoughts on Group Leader
Organised, mixed well, ensured smooth running and went out of his way to fit in all our additional activities
Advice for Potential Travellers
Go and enjoy it
Beautiful country, packed itinerary, top guide
It is difficult to know where to start as we went from one amazing day to the next. From the breathtaking views of wildlife at Addo Elephant Park and “must do” Schotia safari experience, to thunderous oceans and refreshing mountain waterfall swims. Petro the guide was so knowledgeable and did not gild the lilly with her insight into the political and economic challenges which are the backdrop to this beautiful country.
Most Inspirational Moment
Schotia Safari - optional extra is a must do. Mountain waterfall swim
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petro was the best guide I have experienced on an Exodus holiday, which is saying a lot! She dealt with the inevitable challenges (flat tyre!) professionally and without fuss.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Sign up for this trip and go for the optional Schotia Safari
The title says it all
We arrived in Port Elizabeth and meet our tour leader., Andrew Lindsay. He was excellent, made everyone feel welcome and gave us a brief overview of our trip. During the next 11 days we had a great adventure. Starting with Addo Elephant park, followed by a superb Safari organised by Andrew. Everything during the trip was very well organised, Hermanus, Stellenbosch, Cape Town, Table Mountain, Robben Island, staying at some lovely places and having the knowledge of a South African guide was incredible. If I have any criticism, is that some of the accommodation was probably not 3/4 star as suggested. However, due to the enthusiasm and positivity of Andrew the holiday was a wonderful experience of South Africa’s Garden Route.
Most Inspirational Moment
The safari was probably my most inspirational moment of the trip.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Andrew Lindsay was excellent, very knowledgable, patient, organised and enthusiastic.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Pack light, take binoculars, take every opportunity available.
Suggestions
Although we were a little apprehensive of going on a tour with other people. It was a good experience, we meet and made some lovely friends, everything was well organised and we felt very relaxed.
Fabulous
Great trip amazing landscapes and wildlife
Most Inspirational Moment
The wildlife
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petro was amazing-so knowledgeable and professional, but kind and thoughtful and always went the xtra mile to help us
Advice for Potential Travellers
Take a head torch, dont forget a waterproof
Suggestions
I would not want to stay in Port Elizabeth, better to transfer straight to the farm near Addo and get settled there for 2 nights stay
Excellent trip
This was an incredible trip. Beautiful places we visited. The game drives were amazing saw so many beautiful animals. Our group was lovely and Petro our tour guide was amazing,she was so welcoming and organised everything perfectly. Would highly recommended this trip. I plan to come back South Africa has a place in my heart now.
Most Inspirational Moment
For me was on the game drive and an Elephant came right up to the truck,was a surreal moment for me I will treasure that forever.
Thoughts on Group Leader
Petro was an amazing tour guide,such a lovely person. Her knowledge is incredible. She planned everything so well. She defiantly made this trip for me. I plan to do this trip again and I really hope I get her as tour guide.
Advice for Potential Travellers
Anyone thinking on doing this trip,I say just do it. It’s an amazing experience.
