For the animal lovers, seize the opportunity to do the optional Elephant Bush Walk. In company with their handler, you will be able to touch and even feed these lovely and impressive giants of the bush. A wake up early in the morning to a special meeting with this huge specimen is worth it!
Then, continue the incredible experience meeting the largest bird on earth, the ostrich. In one of the many Ostrich Farms, on both sides of the road, you will discover why farmers breed these animals. What an incredible and memorable experience it is to hug one of these creatures!
Then, go on taming the African wildlife with a visit to the Cango Wildlife Ranch. They take care of endangered animals and contribute to helping over 40 species. This sanctuary is doing admirable work!
After all these experiences, let’s ride on the Route 62, known to be the longest wine road in the world. Its stunning Wineland landscapes will show you the beauty of South Africa at sunset before coming back to Cape Town during the evening.
