Itinerary

Eastern Cape Safari & Coast (10 Days)

10 days · 9 nightsPace: balancedSeason: Year-round (malaria-free)For: Travellers who want a malaria-free safari and the eastern Garden Route in one trip.

The 10-day Eastern Cape loop — Addo, the Tsitsikamma, and the eastern Garden Route — built around a malaria-free safari you can do with kids.

Why this route works

The Eastern Cape is the underrated answer to 'safari + coast without malaria': Addo's elephants, the Tsitsikamma forest, and the eastern Garden Route in one loop from Gqeberha, with no prophylaxis and no flight. Ten days lets you do both the park and the coast properly.
