Day One

Upon arrival in East London, guests are collected from East London Airport and we proceed to Double Drift Game Reserve, where we check in and go on a leisurely evening game drive.

Day Two

After early morning coffee and rusks, we embark on a game drive and walk amongst the game - viewing elephants, giraffe etc. After brunch, we depart for Tsolwana Game Reserve, where we check in, and settle down before enjoying a relaxing dinner.

Day Three

We enjoy a leisurely game drive and then depart for Bultfontein Game Farm, in the Lady Grey area. Upon arrival there, we enjoy afternoon drinks whilst overlooking game and beautiful scenery.

Day Four

We follow a leisurely 4x4 trail through the valleys and mountains of the farm, and picnic in the mountains next to a beautiful stream where the remoteness and vastness are surreal. If we are lucky, we view the endangered Black Eagle and Cape Vulture.

Day Five

We all rise early for a hike amongst the game and to view the sunrise over the cliffs. After brunch, we spend some time relaxing. In the afternoon, we visit bushman paintings, and partake of sundowners in a bushman cave. In the evening, we have a final evening braai on the farm.

Day Six

We rise early to depart for the Wild Coast. We travel for approximately 300 km during the course of the day, taking in local traditional villages, beautiful passes and then descend to the Coast. Depending on our time of arrival, we settle in and have sundowners on the deck overlooking the ocean.

Day Seven

We have a lot of fun, with relaxing coastal activities such as swimming, boating, walking, fishing and just taking in the natural coastal beauty.

Days Eight and Nine

Days Eight and Nine include all forms of coastal activities on the remote wild coast; we go boating amongst the dolphins, deep-sea fishing for those interested, take a trip up a mangrove lagoon, snorkel or swim, or just lie back on a remote beach and take in the atmosphere. At all times we are able to experience the local customs and traditions on a first hand basis.

Day Ten

We bid a tearful farewell to the Wild Coast and take the trip, via Qunu, the current home of Mr Nelson Mandela, back to East London, where guests will have a chance to do some last minute shopping before boarding their plane.
