Our Garden Route tours start in Cape Town and travel along South Africa’s spectacular Garden Route, with the itinerary tailored around your interests, available time and preferred pace.

We offer private Garden Route tours from Cape Town, rather than fixed group tours. This means you travel with your own guide and vehicle without having to follow a large group or rigid schedule.

A Garden Route tour is a scenic journey from Cape Town along South Africa’s beautiful southern coastline towards Tsitsikamma. The route takes you through a spectacular mix of mountains, forests, beaches, lagoons, coastal towns and wildlife areas. Popular stops include Hermanus, Cape Agulhas, Mossel Bay, Wilderness, Knysna, Plettenberg Bay and Tsitsikamma. Along the way, visitors can experience some of South Africa’s most beautiful scenery and attractions. A private Garden Route tour from Cape Town allows you to enjoy the journey at your own pace, with your own private guide and vehicle, rather than travelling as part of a large group.

For a genuine Garden Route experience, we recommend allowing at least 4–5 days.

A longer 6–7 day private Garden Route tour allows you to explore at a more relaxed pace and include more of the region’s highlights without spending the majority of your holiday driving.

Shorter private tours can also be arranged if you have limited time.

If you only have one or two days available, we can recommend the best itinerary for the time you have rather than trying to cover the entire Garden Route.

Your private Garden Route tour can include:

• Private vehicle and transport from Cape Town
• An experienced private guide
• Collection and return to your accommodation, where applicable
• Accommodation during the tour in central, safe 4 Star Hotels
• Sightseeing and scenic stops
• A flexible itinerary designed around your interests

The exact inclusions depend on the itinerary, accommodation and attractions you choose. We will explain all costs clearly before you book.

Convoy Tours specialises in private tours, giving you a much more personal experience than travelling as part of a large group.

Our guides have extensive experience showing visitors around South Africa and know the Garden Route well.

We have built our reputation through personal service, local knowledge and flexibility, with hundreds of excellent customer reviews.

Most importantly, your day is about you.

There is no waiting around for other passengers, no collecting large groups from multiple hotels and no rigid group itinerary. If you want to stop for photographs, spend longer somewhere you enjoy or change the pace of the day, we can be flexible.

Our private Garden Route tours are suitable for:

• Couples
• Families
• Solo travellers
• Friends travelling together
• Honeymooners
• Older travellers
• First-time visitors to South Africa
• Travellers looking for a more personal alternative to group tours

Private touring is particularly suitable for anyone who valuesflexibility, comfort and having their own guide.

Our private Garden Route tours start at R13,999 per person — the same rate, and in some cases less, than group tours offered by other operators.

So why join a group when you can have your own private tour for a comparable price?

The final price of your Garden Route tour depends on several factors, including:

• Number of travellers
• Number of days
• Accommodation
• Attractions and activities
• Time of year
• Your chosen itinerary

Because our tours are private and individually planned, we don’t offer a one-size-fits-all package. Instead, we create an itinerary around your interests, your schedule and the places you want to see.

You’ll have your own private vehicle and guide, with no waiting around for other passengers and the flexibility to enjoy the Garden Route at your own pace.

Contact us with your travel dates, number of travellers and the type of Garden Route experience you’re looking for. We’ll recommend an itinerary and provide a clear, personalised quotation.
