Garden Route Splendours, 4 nights from R13 000 pps - self drive

The De Hoop Nature Reserve is a World Heritage site and one of the Western Cape's largest and most beautiful nature sanctuaries and the playground of the Southern Right whales. A mere 3 hours from Cape Town, De Hoop Collection offers you plenty of things to do - whale-watching topping the list of course, day walks, scenic game drives and more. All suites are decorated in luxury and are only a short walk from the Fig Tree Restaurant, reception and pool area.

The bird walk is a wonderful walking experience with a qualified field guide focused on the identification and behaviour of the abundant birdlife found in De Hoop Nature Reserve.

Knysna is the heart of the picturesque Garden Route. The St. James of Knysna is a five-star Country House on the shores of the idyllic Knysna lagoon. Spectacular views, spacious rooms and expansive lush gardens create the perfect backdrop for a holiday haven.

The 90-minute pontoon cruise explores the upper reaches of the Knysna lagoon. It is a romantic, relaxing introduction to the Knysna River estuary in the central region of South Africa’s largest unfenced wildlife preserve: the Garden Route National Park.
