Coming to Swellendam, two standout tours give you the best bang for your buck. The 5-day Garden Route small group tour packs real value – you’ll explore the remarkable Cango Caves, spot wildlife at Botlierskop Reserve, and stand at Africa’s southernmost point. For those who prefer independence, the private 5-day Garden Route and Wine Route tour lets you set your own schedule through South Africa’s historic towns and celebrated wine regions.
I’m especially fond of these tours because they combine must-see attractions with authentic local experiences, and both consistently earn high marks from travelers. The guides are knowledgeable, the pace is comfortable, and you’ll get a true taste of South African culture.
