South Africa - Cape Tour

Our trip to South Africa was an unforgettable adventure full of contrasts, impressive landscapes and special encounters. After our arrival in Stellenbosch, we enjoyed the atmosphere at the idyllic Asara Wine Estate and had a relaxed start to the upcoming tour. The first few kilometers took us through charming Stellenbosch and over the Helshoogte Pass to historic Franschhoek, where we visited the Huguenot Memorial. The beginning of our journey was marked by the gentle beauty of the wine region.

The next stages, however, were a real test of our athletic abilities: we mastered the Bainskloof Pass with its spectacular gorges and felt the heat of Africa in the Karoo. The landscape changed from rough, dry plains to lush green valleys, interspersed with fruit plantations and vineyards. One highlight was our stay at a game lodge, where we were able to observe impressive wild animals such as elephants and giraffes on game drives – an unforgettable experience.

We continued via the southernmost point of Africa, Cape Agulhas, and along the picturesque coast. Whether it was a boat trip with a picnic, a visit to the penguin colony in Betty’s Bay or the majestic whale watching in Hermanus – the variety of experiences was fascinating. The stages repeatedly offered magnificent views, for example on the legendary Chapman’s Peak Drive, a spectacular coastal road that took our breath away.

The highlight of the tour was undoubtedly the exploration of the Cape of Good Hope. The impressive backdrop of the cliffs, the historical flair and the encounters with sea lions and penguins left lasting impressions. After our arrival in Cape Town, we celebrated the successful completion of the trip and had the opportunity to discover Table Mountain, the lively waterfront and the city’s cultural treasures.

This trip was a perfect blend of athletic challenge, breathtaking nature and cultural highlights – a memory that will stay with us for a long time.
