Extending across 400 000 square kilometers of the country, the Karoo is South Africa’s biggest ecosystem and its arid scrublands shelter a surprisingly rich diversity of plant, bird, and animal life. Highlights of the area are the fossil trail in the Karoo National Park and the annual Olive Festival in the small town of Prince Albert.

On-site activities allow day visitors and guests alike the option of exploring the Marine and Nature Reserve with an experienced guide.

Day 12-Day 14:Hermanus Lodge, Hermanus

Built along the beautiful shores and cliffs of Walker Bay, Hermanus has grown from a small seaside resort town to become possibly the best-known place for whale watching in the world.

From the sun-drenched swimming pool area, you are treated to the magnificent backdrop of the Overberg Mountain range and the world-renowned Fernkloof Nature Reserve. Enjoy a stroll along the romantic Hermanus cliff path and hold your breath as a mother whale and her newborn calf come within meters of the rocky shoreline. Here you will discover why Hermanus offers the best land-based whale watching in the world!

Tuck into our indulgent breakfasts, whilst watching early morning golfers making their way onto the 25th green. Later, grab some towels and head off to one of our famous beaches, or just laze around our sun-drenched courtyard. Or sip a sundowner from your vantage point in the Rocky Lounge, next to a crackling, open fireplace, watching the shadows lengthen on the fairway as another perfect day draws to an end in Hermanus.

Day 15Franschhoek Country House & Villas, Franschhoek

Idyllically situated in the Cape Winelands, this peaceful country retreat is one of the oldest towns in South Africa. The once sleepy little village was named Franschhoek, meaning “French Corner” as it was founded by French Huguenots who fled Europe and were seeking a secluded hide-out. They found it in the fertile valley of Franschhoek and this heritage is showcased at the fascinating Huguenot Memorial Museum. The Cape Dutch architecture in much of the village remains remarkably well preserved as restrictions have been placed on the extent of renovations and new construction in order to preserve the spirit of the original settlers. The town’s proximity to Cape Town allows for pleasant day trips during which visitors can explore the area’s many world-class wine estates and impressive range of excellent restaurants or simply browse the quaint, upmarket boutiques strewn along the town’s lovely tree-lined avenues.
