Self Drive Tours Through the Western Cape

People tend to plan their holidays around what the tour operators offer, never allowing themselves the freedom to see a country for what it is, only for what the operators want you to see it is. For those adventurous spirits and for those people that like to see a place for it’s genuine beauty and friendliness and not it’s perceived beauty and friendliness then a self drive tour is a definite must.

The above map shows some of the regions in the Western Cape Province. From this map you can see that there is something for everyone. If it’s beautiful scenery and fantastic friendly people you are after then why not take a trip from Cape Town to the end of the Garden route and for those shellfish lovers, why not plan your trip around the time of the Knysna oyster festival where you will find copious amounts of oyster’s, champagne and wine at bargain prices. You will also experience some interesting South African Style dishes with oysters as the backdrop for every specialty.

For those that enjoy their wines and the beauty that surround the estates then why not try out the Winelands and explore the different routes. Some of the best routes include but are not limited to the Paarl route, Stellenbosch route and the Durbanville route with all routes featuring everything from specialty wines to mass produced products of high international standards. Most of the wine estates will offer diverse entertainments including restaurants, horse riding, boat cruises and many more.

Nobody ever raves about the Karoo and little Karoo but then again not many people have experienced the magnificent flower extravaganza that occurs when the first rains fall or have ridden an ostrich. The Karoo has a diversity of splendor with Wildlife abound in some of the most exquisite settings. If it’s not wildlife you’re after then the Karoo and little Karoo also have some fantastic hidden spots like the Sex shop which is actually a pub with wonderful service and a quirky nature.

Cape Town itself is one of the most visited cities in Africa. It’s diverse cultures, beauty and relaxed attitude is what brings visitors flocking year in and out and dare we say it’s natural beauty. It is a must see as it is a vibrant city with the lonely Table mountain as its heart. Some fantastic gardens like the Kirstenbosch gardens often have paths that lead to the top of the mountain where you have some of the most amazing panoramic views of the surrounding city, countryside and ocean but remember to take lots of liquids when doing this climb as it is a mountain after all.
