(Travel route today: about 350km / 4 hours) Check out of your Oudtshoorn accommodation in the morning, and take part in an optional orphaned "elephant observation in nature’’ experience (at own expense) at a nearby reserve as you observe and follow elephant guides alongside these gentle giants in their natural bushvelt environment. Their parents were poached in the Kruger National Park, and in efforts to keep this family together; the herd was hand-reared and now roam in the vast Cango Valley at the Buffelsdrift Private Game Reserve. Visitors are welcome to observe and experience these loveable creatures’ caring nature in the wild Karoo setting from a reasonable distance under the guidance of their human caregivers and guides. Journey onwards to the next stop.

Leave the area and resume the journey along Route 62 to the region, roughly an hour away. Take to the water on an easy canoe ride (no training needed) with a local guide, and paddle along a calm river that winds its way through lush forests... Indigenous forests and campsites line the river bank and it’s not until you stop paddling and let the gentle current guide you, that the abundance of birdlife becomes apparent.

Relax on a scenic coastal drive, enjoying views of Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Nature’s Valley, and prepare for the adrenaline-rushing view that lies ahead: one of the world’s highest bungee sites at Bloukrans Bridge. Standing 709 feet (216 metres) above the Bloukrans River, the bridge is the perfect place to face your fears with an optional bungee jump! The thrills don’t start when you jump, they begin as you zip line your way out to the jumping platform underneath the colossal bridge. If it’s not for you, get your adrenaline fix by watching the jumpers bounce through the air and then rather do a relaxing walk in the nearby forest area. The duration of the bungy jump activity can vary subject to group size and how busy it is.
