West Coast (5 Days)

Here is one of the most unspoilt regions in the country. The pure air, friendly people, and wide horizons of sea and sky clear one's head of trivial concerns, and nature goes about its business blissfully heedless of the big city 200 kms to the south. This 5-day tour will show you the West Coast in transition.

We head north from the 'new' West Coast of high-rise apartment blocks and holiday homes, into the traditional West Coast of crayfish and bokkoms, seafarers and saltpans, and a sense of infinite freedom. We stay 2 nights at Velddrif, at the mouth of the Berg River, and 2 nights at a guesthouse further north up the coast.

The tour includes cruises in Saldanha Bay and on the Berg River, bird watching, an archaeological dig, and touring in superb coastal and mountain scenery throughout. Our route covers the coastal areas of Paternoster, Langebaan, Elands Bay, Verlorenvlei, and Lamberts Bay, the inland coastal belt of the Sandveld and the mountains that tower over it; and lastly we head for the West Coast winelands (yes – incredibly they have a lot of winelands!) before arriving at the Olifants River valley and Clanwilliam for a final lunch together before we head homewards.
