Overview
Cape Town * Whale Coast * Garden Route * Sanbona Game Reserve * Cape Winelands
The relaxing rascals family self-drive trip in South Africa is ideal for the South African summer, spring and autumn. Try to avoid the wetter Cape winter months (May to August) in the Cape for this tour. (We have other itineraries which suit this time of year better.)
This sample tour uses mainly Premier to Luxury accommodation but we can offer more moderate lodges as well. It starts in Cape Town then meanders along via the Whale Coast, the Garden Route, the Little Karoo, a non-malarial game reserve to end in the Winelands

Tailor-make this trip
All our sample tours on this website are merely suggestions as we specialise in tailor-making itineraries. This gives you an idea of a possible routing but feel free to add days or change the route slightly. If you have time, you may want to add a third night on safari. It all depends on your interests.
We can also easily upgrade the accommodation used if you prefer. (Similarly we can make some downward adjustments if you need to trim the budget.)
