Featherbed Nature Reserve

South Africa is a multifaceted country filled with magical outdoor adventures that dreams are made of. In this stunning part of the world, you can feel the rush of adrenaline while coming face to face with lions, sleep under the stars in the “bush”, acquaint yourself with local cultures, & experience fabulous weather & history-rich locations along the way. In 2019, I made my first trip to South Africa. It had been a dream of mine to visit the rainbow nation since I was a child & SA didn’t dissappoint. I immediately fell in love with the country from the people to the landscapes I felt that I was suppose to be there. I remember traveling into Cape Town by car from the garden route for the first time, with the sun setting over the ocean & “Queen” on the radio I felt like this place was going to be home. This guide will take you on a journey along the coast from Cape Town to Johannesburg or (vice versa) visiting some of the finest luxury hotels & camps that have a conservation / sustainable ethos along the way. I’ve also featured some of the very best experiences this nation has to offer. From swimming with great white sharks to getting up close & personal with lions in Kruger national park. This country truly makes for unforgettable experiences. This itinerary can be from 2-4 weeks & is based on renting a car in Cape Town & dropping it off in Johannesburg (the most popular way to travel) as public transport is lacking here. There are other ways to travel from local flights to hop-on hop-off tourist buses that stop at the most famous sights if you can’t drive.

The Garden Route in South Africa is renowned for its breathtaking landscapes, charming towns, and rich biodiversity.
