Western Cape: – Self-drive Off the Beaten Track

South Africa is a fantastic place to rent a car and head off exploring.

On this itinerary you will experience some of the less-visited areas of the Western Cape as well a few classic destinations. This is not your standard “Cape Town, Winelands and the Garden Route” circuit that any travel agent can sell you off the shelf.

I planned this route and drove it personally to provide first-hand experience to help you decide if you would like to follow in my tyre tracks. You can read my trip report about this itinerary here.

I can promise you a fabulous road trip that you will be talking about for years afterwards!

Join Me in Zimbabwe in May 2025!

A unique adventure through Africa’s untamed beauty in May 2025. On this 9-night itinerary we will start with a stay in Victoria Falls and then explore two world-renowned areas of wonderful Zimbabwe: Hwange National Park and Lake Kariba.

Staying at two legendary camps, Bomani and Musango, we will get to experience the thrill of the wilderness in two very different ways.

“This small-group safari, limited to just six guests, is designed to ensure a truly immersive adventure for those with limited time but very high expectations.” – Andy Higgs
