Garden Route
Trips up the Garden Route begin in Cape Town and wind through the rugged scenery of the Little Karoo exploring Oudtshoorn, the ostrich capital, the dramatic Outeniqua Mountains, vast stretches of coastline and beautiful white beaches. You will travel through Indigenous Forests and end your journey in Addo Elephant National Park on the Eastern Cape.
Kalahari Safari
AWOL arranges tours from Cape Town that meander up the harsh but beautiful West Coast, known for its icy blue seas and excellent seafood. Travel inland over the Cederberg Mountains, with their ancient rock art, through Namaqualand where you will meet contemporary Khoisan people and end your trip on a game-viewing safari among the red dunes and gnarled camelthorn trees of the Kalahari Desert.
Kruger Walking Safari
There is a world of difference between experiencing a safari in Africa on foot, “old style”, they say, from the tinted windows of a luxury bus! To walk is to be out there with the African wildlife, sharing their paths and waterholes, the daily dramas of their lives, sharing their space. To walk is to follow their tracks, feel the tingle of your own senses and hear the beating of your heart as you edge closer to a herd of elephant resting in the shade. To sleep in a tent under the trees with only the canvas between you and the bush is an experience not easily forgotten.
