Knysna, Tsitsikamma, Wilderness, Mossel Bay and Oudtshoorn — a fully chauffeured, multi-day overland trip along one of the world's great coastal routes.
The Garden Route rewards a slow pace — forest walks, lagoon views, small-town stops and long stretches of coastline that are easy to rush past in a rental car. i-Drive runs it as a fully chauffeured, multi-day trip: one driver-guide for the whole route, a realistic day-by-day plan, and none of the fatigue of navigating unfamiliar roads for hours at a time.
Our signature itinerary runs 10 days — 5 exploring locally, 5 overland — but shorter versions covering the highlights are just as easy to arrange.
The Knysna Lagoon and Heads, forest canopy tours and one of the Garden Route's best-known towns for a relaxed few days.
Indigenous forest, the Storms River suspension bridge and dramatic coastline — a highlight stop for walkers and nature lovers.
Long beaches, lakes and the Garden Route National Park, with a quieter, slower pace than the bigger towns.
Coastal Mossel Bay and inland Oudtshoorn — home to the Cango Caves and the Cape's ostrich farming country — round out the route.

Not everyone has 10 days. If you're short on time, i-Drive can build a 4-6 day version focused on the highlights — Knysna, Tsitsikamma and Wilderness are the most popular combination — or use the Garden Route as the closing leg of a longer Western Cape trip that starts with the Cape Peninsula and Winelands around Cape Town.
Start with a day tour to Cape Point, Boulders Beach and Chapman's Peak before heading out on the road.
Add a private Stellenbosch, Franschhoek and Paarl day before or after your Garden Route trip.
A shorter alternative multi-day route through Montagu, Route 62 and Swellendam to Cape Agulhas.
