If you are new to Cape Town and particularly the Garden Route, I highly recommend this private tour. It is well organized and driving through the route is very immersive to the beauty that is here. Denver (our driver and guide) was great; very communicative, knowledgeable, and informative about the wonderful realities and beauties of this part of South Africa. The accommodations showcased the wonder of the towns that we visited. The scenery was breathtaking and the excursions just a cool addition. Recommend the Bungi jumping and the Elephant Experience. Extremely professional and respectful service at all the stops and the entire 3-days! Denver showed us all the great shops and restaurants along the way as well!

Amazing trip! We did so many things and Kevin was so kind, the safari and all the activities were so fun! The only thing is that they don’t tell you that it’s a 100% chance that you WILL NOT see lions, there’s no access on route and only go outside in the night or really morning.
Thank you for your review on the 3 Day Garden Route + Safari tour! We're so happy to hear that you had an amazing trip and that guide Kevin helped make it even more special. It sounds like you made the most of all the activities and had a fantastic safari experience! We totally understand your disappointment about not seeing lions. While there’s always a chance with wildlife, sightings are never guaranteed due to the unpredictable nature of wildlife. That being said, we hope the rest of your adventure made up for it, and we'd love to have you join us again for another trip—maybe next time with an even better chance of spotting the big cats! Always keep adventuring, -Team Hotspots2C
Made some memories that I will never forget. Bungee jumping was 100% worth it. Started the trip with a “no” and Dylan our guide got me to say “Yes!” Best decision ever but not while standing up there. I had a blast kayaking, going on a safari and able to see a cheetah. Definitely a trip to check out and definately worth the money! Thank Dylan. -Ted
Love to hear that, Ted! From a solid “no” to an epic “YES!”—sounds like guide Dylan worked his magic on the 3Day Garden Route + Safari tour! Bungee jumping is definitely one for the books, and we’re so glad you got to experience the thrill along with kayaking, safari, and even a cheetah sighting! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us and for the recommendation. We hope to see you back for another unforgettable trip! From, Team Hotspots2C
