The Garden Route Tours are exploring an area renowned for adventure tourism and sheer beauty. Ancient indigenous forests filled with giant yellowood trees and abundant wild flowers give the Garden Route its name while the pristine beaches, shimmering freshwater lakes and extensive mountain ranges add to its beauty. This narrow belt between the Indian Ocean and the Outeniqua and Tsitsikamma Mountains extends from Mossel Bay to Port Elizabeth. Garden Route tours are a favourite amongst local and international tourists.

These tours give us an insight into the famous Garden Route and compares it with the arid semi-desert Great Karoo. Few countries rival the South African scenic splendor and diversity. The Great Karoo Desert is a vast and unforgiving landscape of which the Karoo National Park is but a small portion. Being the largest ecosystem in South Africa, the Karoo is home to a fascinating diversity of life, all having adapted to survive in these harsh conditions. Karoo National Park is dominated by the lofty Nuweveld mountains.

The coastline between Cape Town and Durban encompasses a huge diversity of habitats. From the mountains, lakes, cliffs and indigenous forests of the Garden Route, to the hilly grasslands with Xhosa huts dotted around the ridges and wild unspoilt coastline of the Eastern Cape, one experiences the natural beauty which will captivate even the well traveled. From here we travel via Port St Johns to enter KwaZulu- Natal. We visit Oribi Gorge with some spectacular scenic panoramic views. Arrive in Durban, the subtropical Holiday Mecca of South Africa.
