Garden Route Highlights
Check air fares to AfricaDescription
No trip to South Africa, and Cape Town in particular, is complete without taking the famous Garden Route. On this exciting four day tour you will see how everything in the Garden is rosy as you head north from Cape Town to Port Elizabeth visiting all the places of interest on route. The Garden Route is renowned for its beauty and on your journey you will call in at an ostrich farm, tour spectacular caves, get up close to the animals at an elephant park and tour a national park. This trip makes a great diversion while holidaying in the Rainbow Nation.

Cape Town to Oudtshoorn
Today you leave Cape Town and travel through the Huguenot Tunnel and on to Cape Route 62, which is the tourist route in the Western Cape, offering the shortest and most scenic drive.

Suggestion to go upstairs on plane was genius! It was quieter and on way home lucky enough to have two seats to myself. Talk to you for my next trip.

We were really impressed with the service that Gary Patel gave us. The hotels that Gary had recommended were brilliant for what we wanted. He was incredibly helpful whenever we asked for his advice. All the flights and transfers went without a hitch. We had a fabulous holiday and would definitely use DialAFlight again.

I have used your firm for years now. I always get excellent service from Conrad and I can't fault him in any way... Please don't stop answering your phones within seconds and being able to speak to a human being straight away, as this is a huge part of your excellent service and a tremendous plus. So refreshing to get a stress free phone call these days. Thank you

Many people ask why do we bother booking our flights through a third party when it is straightforward to book your own? Since using DialAFlight many years ago, I still find it reassuring that you always try to accommodate my requests and consistently come up with a good deal.
