"The 2026 Cape Country Routes Amazing Race was so much more than a fam trip. It was an experience in every sense of the word. From the very first moment of setting off with no itinerary and no expectations, to the final evening in Cape Town, every day brought something new, unexpected, and genuinely memorable. Each stop along the way felt carefully considered and full of character. Whether it was the quiet magic of a sunrise on the coast, the thrill of pushing through less-than-perfect weather for an adventure, or the simple joy of connecting with passionate hosts and local storytellers, it all came together in such a meaningful way. What stood out most was the authenticity. Every experience felt personal, generous, and rooted in place. Please also extend my sincere appreciation to all the incredible properties, guides, and partners who welcomed us so warmly along the way. Their passion and hospitality did not go unnoticed and left a lasting impression. I return feeling inspired, re-energised, and with a deeper appreciation for the regions and experiences that make Cape Country Routes so unique.”
