The members of Cape Country Routes, a group of owner-managed accommodation and activity providers situated along the most scenic routes South Africa’s Cape regions have to offer, wish to use this time of year to say…THANK YOU!

Cape Country Routes is the perfect match to this new travel trend: Workcation! Natural surroundings, breath-taking views, comfortable country-style accommodation and home-away-from-home hospitality. What more could you ask for?

It’s time for #ExperiencesNotThings this festive season, enjoyed in a safe and responsible manner. The beautiful sights of South Africa await, #SouthAfricaIsTravelReady! By gifting experiences, we support industries that have been affected the most by the pandemic and its economic consequences. Not to forget the many conservation-, education- and research projects that are indirectly supported as well.

It is during Corona times that guest do not only look for “Character, Charm and Romance”, the hallmark of Cape Country Routes. They also look for a commitment to provide a safe stay. Across the group our members have pledged to adhere to the protocols for COVID-19 during the time of the pandemic as recommended by die TBCSA (Tourism Business Council of South Africa) and validated by the WTTC (World Tourism and Travel Council). One could even call it a commitment to “Collective Covid Rules”.

The Garden Route is one of South Africa’s most popular tourist destinations. Its 200km coastline, stretching roughly between Mossel Bay and Tsitsikamma, features endless white sandy beaches, indigenous fairy-tale forests, wetlands brimming with birdlife, majestic mountain ranges, and rivers meandering through deep gorges. And although the province of Mpumalanga is traditionally the country’s foremost place to go for a safari, the Garden Route boasts several very good game reserves that complete it as an all-round African destination. Here are 5 of the best Game Reserves on the Garden Route.
