- Cape Town. Starting with my favourite city in the world… Cape Town, which I would highly recommend adding this to your Garden Route itinerary. You could easily spend weeks in Cape Town and still not see and do everything, but if you give yourself at least 4 – 5 nights, you will be able to get around a few of the main highlights.
- The Cape Winelands. I LOVE the Cape Winelands, so if you enjoy wine, I would suggest spending a day or two exploring Stellenbosch, Franschhoek or both as the towns are very close to each other.
- Hermanus. Hermanus is a great place for whale watching, especially between the months of June and October when the southern right whales come to calf and play in the waters here.
- Cape Agulhas. Between Hermanus and Mossel Bay (via a bit of a diversion south), you’ll find Cape Agulhas (L’Agulhus), the most southerly tip of the African continent.
- Cape Town – Swellendam – Mossel Bay, 386 km/240 mi. If you start driving from Cape Town early morning you’ll be in Mossel Bay before lunchtime which gives you some time to explore the town.
- Mossel Bay. As we already mentioned above we stayed here for two nights and really liked it but if you’re not planning to do any activities here one night may be enough.
- Mossel Bay – (Oudtshoorn) – George – Wilderness – Sedgefield, 80 km/50 mi (180 km/111 mi) Cango Caves and Ostrich Farm, Oudtshoorn. It’s up to you to keep driving along the coast past George to Wilderness or take a detour and go to Oudtshoorn, about 160 km return.
- Sedgefield – Knysna, 25 km/15,5 mi. Enjoyable drive along the coast with some beautiful views. We were worried a bit about Knysna after the big fire of 2017, on the way driving we did see patches of burned forest.
