ROAD TRIP ALONG THE GARDEN ROUTE EASTERN AND WESTERN CAPE This stretch of road between the Eastern and Western Cape is a national treasure, connecting a ‘greatest hits’ of South African scenery. These include Knysna’s idyllic lagoon, the golden sands of Plettenberg Bay and the serene Nature’s Valley. Spring is best, with ideal temperatures and verdurous plant life. DON’T MISS: If you’re feeling brave, stop off at Bloukrans Bridge in the Tsitsikamma area to do the 709ft bungee jump.


EXPERIENCE TOWNSHIP LIFE IN SOWETO GAUTENG
