Itinerary

Expand All

Day 1: Cape Town – Oudtshoorn, South Africa

Location: Oudtshoorn

Duration: 3 Days

Departure Time: 07:00


Drive along Route 63 and Cango Caves Tour


Start your adventure driving along Route 62, the longest wine route in the world. Take in its rugged landscapes with high mountains and vast plains dotted with vineyards and orchards. Stop at a farm stall to sample local delights on your way to Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital of the world.


Head to your first adventure: the fascinating Cango Caves. Go underground to explore its limestone chambers. See the intriguing shapes of its stalactites and stalagmites, and the remnants of Khoikhoi paintings.


Choose between the easy-going Heritage Tour to test the cave’s acoustics and learn about the formation and evolution of dripstone, or the Adventure tour, which allows you to twist and wiggle your way through limestone chimneys.


Spend the rest of the day in the quaint town of Oudtshoorn. Don’t forget to try its local delicacies.

Day 2: Oudtshoorn – Sedgefield, South Africa

Location: Sedgefield

Canoeing in Touws River and optional activities


Start the day with an optional Elephant Bush Walk (R405), where you’ll have the opportunity to walk along three rescued elephants in their natural environment. The beautiful creatures were orphaned due to illegal poaching in northern South Africa, and then transferred to Buffelsdrift. You’ll have the chance to take many pictures as you want and ask questions to the rangers.


Continue with an afternoon paddle along the Touws River, deep in Wilderness National Park. Paddle, let the gentle current guide you, and enjoy some bird-watching. Reach Bloukrans Bridge, the world’s highest commercial bridge bungy jump. Hurtle face first down the 216m drop only to spring back up on their elastic cord like a yoyo (R990). If heights are not your thing, go visit the famous 1000-year-old yellowwood tree with a 90m circumference.


Explore the town of Sedgefield for the rest of the evening.

Day 3: Sedgefield - Cape Town, South Africa

Location: Cape Town

Game drive and bush walk


Your last day will begin as you drive away from Table Mountain on your way to the Garden Route. The first stop is in a malaria-free private game reserve, where you’ll hop on a 4x4 and go on a game drive. Try to spot the elephants, lions, white rhinos and other creatures with the help of an experienced game ranger.


Hop-off the vehicle and go on a peaceful bush walk. Follow your game ranger as you track wildlife and learn about the beneficial properties of the plants of habitats such as


coastal renosterveldt


and Cape fynbos.


Your adventure ends as you drive back to Cape Town and enjoy the views of this extraordinary route.

To this day, this is the best tour we've ever done together as a couple! The fun activities, great hotels and nice guides worth the money! We were always taken care of and they made sure that we had a good time. This tour is definitely worth taking.

The Bamba Team really made my journey one of the most memorable experiences of my life! Still so nice and supportive! They handled everything and responded to each question within a few minutes. I wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone. Especially if you want to do a lot of activities and travel to a lot of different places without feeling rushed. They've also helped me with specific issues that weren't covered by the tour, as well as answering general questions. Thank you so much for making my journey so enjoyable!

The tour was fantastic; I was able to visit some of Japan's most beautiful locations, and the accommodations were excellent, with convenient access to the city's best attractions. Also, our tour guide was fantastic. I will pick bamba again and recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see Japan while having a good time!!

I only have good words about our trip to Kenya. The entire experience was totally magical and I struggle to say how fantastic it was. We were fortunate enough to have a brilliant vehicle for ourselves, but we had great luck with David for our guide too. He was very knowledgeable, courteous and nice. Thank you for helping to create this fantastic safari experience. I Highly recommend this company.

Bamba Experience has been the best tour guide I've ever had. Every tour has been a thrilling experience. There are so many things to choose from. Bamba has been extremely helpful in providing us with all of the necessary information for our departures and activities! Bamba has made this a simple and enjoyable experience. I'll certainly tell my friends and family about it! Thank you very much, Bamba!!

Feb 20 2020

We organized a trip through Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, and Cambodia on the hop-on, hop-off bus. It made the trip so much simpler for us as first-time travelers because we just had to send an email to arrange the bus, which avoided the hassle of looking for the best price and so on! We also had a number of tours included, they were all amazing and saved us the trouble of trying to find the best offers on our own; it also meant we got to see a lot of stuff we wouldn't have seen otherwise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I will strongly suggest and use again!

Our Bamba tour of Vietnam was fantastic. We had a lot of new experiences and all of the help we needed to make this a stress-free vacation. The well-organized accomodation and transportation were excellent. We will certainly use Bamba in the future.

Jun 25 2019

I had booked our Uyuni Salt Flats & Desert Adventure 3D/2N (Uyuni to Atacama) tour via an Australian travel agency, but they had made an error and refused to assist us or take responsibility. This was very difficult for us because we wanted to have a stress-free honeymoon. I contacted Bamba and I asked if we could talk on the phone so they made the improvements to our tour reservation that our travel agent declined to make. The quality of service was exceptional and they generously offered to us a complimentary gift because it was our honeymoon. I can't say enough good things about Bamba.
