Overberg Trips & Tours
Overberg
After you’ve left Cape Town and before you reach the beginning of the Garden Route, there’s a beautiful stretch of land with picturesque towns dotted among rolling hills, seaside hamlets overlooking white sands and frothy waves, and stunning wildlife and nature reserves that even the locals don’t know about. This is the Western Cape Overberg region, one of the lesser explored parts of South Africa, and one that you should add to your itinerary now. It’s a photographer’s dream, there’s wildlife aplenty and, to top it all, you may well be the only people there – really!
Start with a recommended trip or create one from scratch
Nestled between Cape Town and the start of the Garden Route, Overberg is one of South Africa’s best kept secrets. Scenic doesn’t begin to describe the rolling hills and reserves laden with thousands of fragrant fynbos species that merge with sugar-fine beaches on the coastline. Spend quiet moments reclining at a chic guesthouse with a glass of wine in hand as you wait for pods of dolphins and whales to splash, spout or jump from the water. Between July and November, hundreds of southern right whales make their migration from Antarctica - a truly special sight. Then, explore, explore and explore some more. Cycle, hike or ride horseback into the pretty surrounds, go on a game drive through one of the reserves, or follow the shoreline to a secluded beach for a few hours. Water-wise, there is kayaking across the lagoons, whale-watching boat trips and, for the adrenaline-seekers, cage diving with a Great White Shark.
