Convoy Tours’ premier tour is the Garden Route.

First-class touring for first-class travellers.

But we also try to make it accessible. We want to offer a first-class experience without a first-class price tag.

We don’t stay in five-star hotels, although we aim to provide five-star service. We use good four-star hotels that are clean, safe and centrally located, giving you a comfortable base and peace of mind after a full day of touring.

If you can manage it, I always recommend five days on the Garden Route.

Four days works perfectly well, but five gives us room to breathe.

The Garden Route is enormous. You could spend five months there and still not see everything. But in five days, we can see the highlights without rushing around like lunatics.

We can be in the right places at the right times, avoid unnecessary queues, eat at good restaurants and actually enjoy the journey rather than constantly watching the clock.

In fact, if I were putting together my ideal South African trip, I’d do three days in Cape Town, five days on the Garden Route, fly to Johannesburg from Port Elizabeth, where we’ll drop you off, and then spend a few days in Kruger.

But that’s another tour for another post.

Now for the kicker.

Book a Garden Route tour with Convoy Tours for 2027 and we’ll include a complimentary private full-day Cape Peninsula tour.

Cape Point. The Cape of Good Hope. Boulders Beach. Chapman’s Peak.

Your own vehicle. Your own guide. No group.

How’s that for a smashing offer?

I don’t think you’ll find that very easily elsewhere.

There is one catch.

We’re a small operation. We only run a couple of Garden Route tours each month, and 2026 is already pretty much at capacity.

We’re now taking bookings for 2027.

So, if you’ve been thinking about doing the Garden Route, this is your chance to do something awesome for your future self.

Right here. Right now.

Get in touch, secure your 2027 Garden Route tour, and let future you worry about the packing.

You snooze, you lose.

And the two saddest words in the English language?

“If only.”

If only I’d booked it.
