Overview

Looking to experience a taste of pure South African heritage and adventure while exploring the tip of Africa on one epic tour? Then you’ve found your match! We have carefully hand-crafted this itinerary to celebrate and explore the unique tastes and flavours of South Africa along the southern coast of the Western Cape over this coming Heritage Day long weekend. Known to South Africans as "braai day" (barbeque day) to those who were wondering - Heritage Day celebrates all that is South African, and this itinerary pays tribute to it.

This 3-day adventure is filled to the brim with the best highlights the southern tip of Africa has to offer: Experience an epic off-the-beaten-track adventure in the mountains. Hike the ever-so-scenic Boesmanskloof trail, overnight in the mountains, reach the most southern point of Africa at Cape Agulhas, followed by a wine tasting and a local produce picnic on a peaceful river cruise in the beautiful Breede River Valley before ending on the last day with (optional) Shark diving or (optional) Whale Boat Cruise or free time to walk around Hermanus - one of the best land-based whale watching spots in the world.

There's a lot to explore, so let's get going!

Itinerary guideline

This tour itinerary guideline can run in reverse or a different order.

Day 1

Overberg > Breede River Region

Start with an early morning pick-up from your accommodation in Cape Town or Stellenbosch.

An early start and about mid-morning arrival at Boesmanskloof, hiking over the Riviersonderend Mountains. Be sure to wear comfortable hiking shoes as this ±14km hike can be challenging at times but the views are oh-so rewarding and swimming in the natural rock pools will recharge and relax your feet at rest stops along the way.

This ±6-7hour hike (subject to your fitness level and the speed you choose to walk at) links the small towns of Greyton and McGregor with the highest Viewing Point at 650m altitude. Remember to take freshwater with you, but we will arrange for your luggage to be transported to your overnight stop, so you can focus on the hike without having to carry extra weight.

The hike is spectacular, with steep gorges, large rock pools, waterfalls (The popular Oaks Falls) and beautiful Cape Fynbos wildflowers. Look out for plenty of birdlife and wild animals like Duiker, Grey Rhebuck, Klipspringer, Baboon, Dassie and Spotted Genet.

Arrive late afternoon at the back-to-basics cottage-style accommodation, tucked away in the beautiful Riviersonderend Mountains with endless views. The sounds of the nearby Gobos River brings peace to the soul. Offline is the 'new' luxury... although there is limited to no mobile reception in the mountains, you'll struggle to find a better connection to nature anywhere else.

Immerse yourself in isolation, surrounded by nature and end the day with a 'braai' (typical South African dinner cooked over an open fire and coals) under the starry skies to celebrate all that is typically South African on this official Heritage Day; a public holiday also known to South Africans as "braai day" - barbeque day, to those who were wondering.

Day 2

Breede River Region > Cape Agulhas

After breakfast, you'll travel along the Breede River Wine Route. Nestled between the Langeberg and Riviersonderend Mountain ranges, this wine route offers a landscape of flower fringed roads, majestic mountains, and world-class wines.

Trail your feet in the cool waters of the Breede River, while toasting the good life with a glass of Viljoensdrift wine onboard their elegant flat-bottomed riverboat named Uncle Ben 2. We will meander along the river, flanked by indigenous Breede River Yellowwood and Wild Olive trees teeming with a variety of bird species, while having a picnic lunch. The perfect way to spend a laid-back early lunch stop.

Drive to De Hoop Nature Reserve's Koppie Alleen hiking spot and do a short ±1km coastal hike to try to spot some whales in the bay. De Hoop has one of the best whale-watching hiking trails in South Africa: the Whale Trail. This longer route offers coastal and mountain walking with spectacular views and of course plenty of opportunities during whale season (June - November) to have a chance to gaze upon enormous southern right whales frolicking about.

Travel onward to reach Cape Agulhas by sunset – the official meeting place of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans and the southernmost tip of Africa.   It’s a wild, treacherous coastline that’s said to be the graveyard of ships. Take the steps to the top of the lighthouse and get the necessary photos as proof of your visit to this special place.

Day 3

Hermanus > Cape Whale Coast

Venture back to Cape region after a hearty breakfast to the small coastal Hermanus village. Alternatively, optional Shark Cage Diving near Gansbaai is possible.

Wake up to the sound of the ocean in Cape Agulhas and take a moment to breathe in the fresh sea air. If you opted for Shark Cage Dive, your early morning start will have you visiting Gansbaai, to cruise to Shark Alley look for sharks.

Or, if your group is not cage diving, start the short journey to the coastal haven of Hermanus where winding ocean cliff paths await and are sure to enthral. Meander along coastal paths lined with indigenous fynbos, lulled by the crashing sounds of ocean waves against the adjacent rocky shoreline. Nature lovers will be thrilled by the rich birdlife and the chance to see local marine life frolicking about. Hermanus is also one of the best land-based whale watching locations in the world, so you can look forward to trying to spot a few southern right whales during whale season from June to November. The hike will take around an hour, after which you’ll have a choice of how to spend the rest of your morning.

After the hike, you can hop on an optional whale cruise in search of some cavorting whales (during whale season). For a tamer pace, have a whale of a time in the seaside town of Hermanus, littered with curio shops, fine restaurants and an unmistakable old-world charm.

Flap a wave goodbye as you head on along one of South Africa’s most scenic coastal routes - Clarence Drive - to reach back to your pick-up spot by late afternoon.

Growing up, I loved family road trips for the weekend to explore the beautiful places around us. This instilled a love for travel and since then the travel and tourism industry has always interested me. As a true nature-lover, if i'm not hiking at Jonkershoek with friends, you'll probably find me spending quality time with family and freinds outdoors.

WiFi/Internet Access on tour

WiFi can be found at most accommodations, restaurants and airports, however, the download speed is often slow and many connections limit your data usage. In short, you’ll be able to stay connected with home, but don't expect to watch HD movies in your spare time.

When to go

South Africa is blessed with a mostly mild climate, but different areas will yield different temperatures throughout the year. Summer in South Africa is usually peak season, lasting between November – February, however, Easter time (March) is often still considered peak season too. Temperatures range from 25ºC in coastal areas to high 30ºs in inland areas. Cape Town has ideal weather during this time and Durban sports warm beaches and humid air, Johannesburg experiences hot clear days and often an afternoon thunderstorm.

The shoulder season is April and May, as well as September and October. Surprisingly, the weather in Durban is often at its best during this time, and other areas simmer down from their scorching highs. Prices are lower and crowds are smaller. September and October see eruptions of flowers and blooms all around the country.

Winter is beautiful in most parts of the country. Cape Town experiences winter rain and is often a little cold and miserable, but still crisp and beautiful. Because of the warm Indian Ocean, Durban has spectacular weather in winter, often hovering around 20-25ºC with clear blue skies. Inland areas get quite chilly and the odd snowfall is not uncommon (it only lasts for a day though!). Prices are at an all-time low and it is an ideal time for game viewing, as the animals are more active in the cooler weather.

The Garden Route enjoys a Mediterranean Oceanic climate, which is intrinsically temperate and mild almost all year round. Summers are warm to hot, and winters are cool. Second only to Hawaii, the Garden Route is acclaimed for having one of the mildest climates in the world.

However, the winter rain season can cause some delays for outdoor activities but the mild sunny days and the appeal of seeing the Southern Right Whale migration makes the Cape Whale Coast & Garden Route an ideal destination during the European summer holidays. You can expect cool mornings and evenings, but usually the climate remain bright and sunny during the day.

Best time to go where?

Jun-Jul ( mid winter) = Safari in Kruger region

Jan-Feb ( mid summer) = Cape Town city or beach destinations along the Cape Coast

Year-Round = Moderate weather in the Garden Route region

Public Holidays

With the possible exception of Christmas Day and New Year's Day, most tourist services and attractions are open on South African public holidays. In addition most city shopping centres, restaurants and entertainment venues remain open.

Visa & Travel docs

Travellers from most Commonwealth countries (excluding New Zealand), most Western European nations, Japan and the USA receive a free, 90-day visitor's permit on arrival. These travellers do not need a visa to enter South Africa. A valid passport is essential with at least two empty pages. You generally will need to show return or onward travel arrangements. Children aged under 18 must show an unabridged birth certificate (showing both parents details).

Some countries do, however, need a visa. Visas are not issued upon entry, they must be attained beforehand. It is advised that you clarify this before you leave, the Department of Home Affairs office has a comprehensive list of countries that do not require visas. http://www.dha.gov.za/index.php/immigration-services/exempt-countries

What to pack

We're generally laid back in South Africa, so no need to haul out your best silks and diamonds when you head to our shores. Here's some clothing advice when in South Africa:

For the summers, bring clothes that are cool and comfortable, along with an umbrella or rain jacket, as this is when most of the country gets rain. A light jacket or wrap is a good precaution. Don't forget a swimming costume.
The winters are generally mild, comparing favourably with European summers. But we do get some days when temperatures plummet, especially in high-lying areas such as the Drakensberg (some nights go below 0ºC), so be prepared with jerseys and jackets. If you are going to the Cape, rain gear will be needed in this season (your average here will be between 10-20ºC).
Always bring a hat - the sun can be strong even in the winter months. Make sunglasses, a hat and sunblock a firm part of your skin care kit.
Walking shoes are a good idea all year-round, with warm socks in the winter.
For game viewing, a couple of neutral-toned items will be useful, but there's no need to go overboard and kit yourself out like David Livingstone, out to explore Africa for the first time.
For the evening, if you are dining at an upmarket restaurant or seeing a show, go the smart-casual route. If you are simply going out to get a bite to eat, a general “no shirt, no shoes - no service” rule applies, so as long as you are fully clad, your attire should not be an issue.
When travelling with Hotspots2c we encourage reasonably sized bags for multi-day tours and we are able to accommodate bags that are on average under 20kgs. For one and two day tours, a light backpack is encouraged.

Health & Safety

There are no compulsory vaccinations required to enter South Africa with exception of a yellow fever vaccination if you have been in a yellow fever area within the last 12 months.

The only major health risk you might face in South Africa is malaria, which is confined to small areas in the north-eastern parts of the country. Small pockets of the northern parts of the Kruger National Park fall under this area but the risk here is considered extremely low and it is not always necessary to take anti-malaria tablets. Remember as a precautionary measure to check with your doctor or a local travel clinic on what is recommended for your country to visit South Africa.

For more info about the safety regulations on tour - please see https://hotspots2c.co.za/ideas/safetravels

South Africa may have high crime statistics, but if you conduct yourself wisely, most tourists enjoy the country without any incident at all. Here are some tips: ensure that you lock away your passports and travel documents in a safe, which is usually provided by your accommodation or keep valuables at a safe place. Don't flash around valuables and keep an eye on your belongings at all time. Majority of South Africa’s crime is opportunistic petty crime, so if you are vigilant about your belongings you should not have any problem.

Getting Around

South Africa has 3 world-class airports that receive international flights every day; Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town. Most international airlines will have flights into one or all of these airports daily.

There are numerous budget carriers that offer domestic flights between the major cities for very reasonable rates; this is the fastest and safest way to span large distances, especially between Johannesburg and Cape Town, which is a 2-hour flight.

From the airports there are numerous shuttles and taxis that you can pick up upon arrival, there are also many different car hire options at each airport and in all major cities. Uber is another reliable and affordable option.

Money

Our currency in South Africa is the South African Rand. You can easily convert your currency to rand at a bank or Forex Bureau, the airports and larger towns often have many different Forex options. You can also withdraw from an ATM, banks are available throughout South Africa. Be sure to check what international bank charges you will incur for withdrawals before you arrive. Major credit cards are usually accepted in hotels or restaurants, however, there may be a surcharge. It is advisable to have small amounts of cash for curios and tipping.

Tipping

Tour Guides and Drivers – Tipping on tour is neither expected nor compulsory, however, should you wish to tip the team on the road you are welcome to decide on a value that match the level of service received. A recommendation usually range from R50 to R200 per person per day.
Restaurants and Bars - Tipping in restaurants is the norm and is customarily kept at 10% of the total shown on the bill. Many restaurants will add a 10% service charge to a bill if the number of guests exceeds six or ten.
Hotels - At hotels you may also leave money to housekeeping at the end of your stay. Porter fees may already be included in your quote, and will be listed under your tour package inclusions.
