South Africa provides amazing value for money, and sharing this trip will get you even more bang for your buck.. ​Our itinerary features hand-picked accommodations nestled amidst nature, ensuring a serene and relaxing atmosphere throughout our journey.

🙋‍♂️ And who am I? My name is Olaf, and I'll be your Facilitator, Driver, hiking partner, motivator, debating and sing along buddy adventure wingman, plus hopefully a good friend during and after the trip. I was born and raised in South Africa. My Parents are both German, and I was lucky enough to visit the German School in Cape Town, basically making me an Incognito German. I've been a Dog sledding guide in Norway, Overland Chef and Guide all through southern and eastern Africa, Sailor throughout the Mediterranean, ran my own German-style Food truck in Cape Town and have done more road trips to every part of South Africa than I can remember. I'm also a qualified tour guide for Cape Town, with emphasis on wine tours. :) I love good food and will be cooking up a storm and braaing (barbecuing) lovely delicious South African classics over the fire most nights. Sharing my beautiful country, and making meaningful connections whilst exploring this multi-facetted land, is the main motivation behind offering this trip. I feel most alive on the road, meeting interesting individuals, having lively conversations at the camp-fire and feeling the exhilarating drive of adventure.🌏

Experience the epitome of tranquility with our carefully curated itinerary, boasting hand-picked accommodations nestled amidst the breathtaking landscapes of the Garden Route. Indulge in the charm of cozy bed and breakfasts and distinctive lodges, each offering a unique ambiance that enhances our journey, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the natural beauty that surrounds us. Any questions about the trip? You can let me know in the Q&A section!
