Get ready for an exhilarating journey following an experienced tour guide, driving your own Suzuki Jimny 4WD! Your adventure kicks off as your tour guide meets you at the designated spot and leads you to your Suzuki Jimny where they will cover all the essential South African traffic rules and walk you through the basic four-wheel-drive features of your vehicle. Once you’re comfortable and ready, you'll follow your tour guide in their Suzuki Jimny on a scenic drive to our first destination: the breathtaking Vergelegen Wine Estate. This beautiful estate, one of the oldest in South Africa, was once the pride of William Adriaan van der Stel, the Cape’s governor from 1699 to 1707. When we arrive, you’ll enjoy a delicious brunch at the Stables Restaurant and afterwards, you can take your time exploring the stunning grounds, museum, and picturesque vineyards.

After visiting Vergelegen Estate and making a quick stop at the beach in Gordon's Bay, you’ll continue your journey by following your tour guide in their Suzuki Jimny. You’ll drive 48 km along the stunning Clarence Drive, renowned as one of South Africa's most picturesque coastal routes, heading toward the penguin colony at Stoney Point Nature Reserve in Betty's Bay. Stoney Point Nature Reserve is home to a unique colony of African Penguins. Here, you can get a close-up view of these amazing birds via a boardwalk that winds through the colony, allowing you to observe them in their natural habitat without causing any disturbance.

Just a short 5km away, our next stop is the breathtaking Harold Porter National Botanical Gardens, nestled in the heart of the coastal fynbos. This stunning garden, part of the Kogelberg Biosphere, boasts everything from wind-sculpted mountain slopes and lush gorges filled with ancient forests to tranquil flats and marshes adorned with restios, sedges, and vibrant bulbs. Prepare to be captivated by the garden’s incredible fynbos and hiking trails that lead you to picturesque waterfalls, making it a paradise for nature lovers and adventurers alike. If you’re feeling hungry, there’s a charming restaurant on-site to satisfy your cravings, along with a nursery and an environmental education center to further enrich your experience.

Tonight you will spend your first night under the stars, just 80 meters from the beach and beside the tranquil Palmiet River Lagoon. The Palmiet River Camping Site offers stunning views of the ocean, the Kogelberg mountains, and the lagoon where you can enjoy clean, well-maintained facilities with hot showers and friendly, attentive staff. Your Suzuki Jimny is fully equipped with all the essential camping gear, including a gas stove and mini fridge. Before heading to the campsite, we’ll make a stop in the nearby town of Kleinmond, giving you time to stock up on food and drinks for the night. End your day around the communal braai areas, sharing a traditional South African barbecue under the stars, or prepare your own meal in the privacy of your fully fitted Suzuki Jimny Camper.
