What
Along the western coast, brilliant spring wild flowers start coming into bloom, covering the ground with swathes of purple, orange, yellow and white blossoms. Along the southern coast, the whales are still at play while to the east, wildlife reserves like Addo Elephant National Park buzz with animals gearing up for warmer weather.
Why
This is an incredible stretch of coastline to drive. The winter downpours are starting to abate and the Garden Route is dotted with gems like Plettenberg Bay, Knysna and the famous Cango Caves. Start in Cape Town and end in Port Elizabeth, enjoying good roads and excellent value-for-money accommodation along the way.
When to book
