Is this trip right for you?
-
This is a unique Peregrine Africa trip as its slow paced itinerary uses a private comfortable air-conditioned minibus, and doesn’t include any particuarly long drives (which is usually part-and-parcel of travel on the continent).
-
This trip includes a hike in Tsitsikamma National Park that will take approximately half a day. However, there is a shorter walk option along the boardwalk if you are concerned about your fitness.
-
Some passengers will have been travelling together prior to the start of this trip. Please see our Namibia & South Africa's Garden Route trip to see what you're missing out on.
