The Garden Route in One Week
7 days · 6 nightsPace: relaxedSeason: October to AprilFor: Travellers with a week for the route and nothing else.
The 7-day Garden Route from Cape Town to the Tsitsikamma — slow enough to stay two nights in each place.
Why this route works
The Garden Route in a week is the version most people actually do, and it's the right pace: two nights Wilderness, two Knysna, one Tsitsikamma, with the long N2 drive broken at Swellendam. Faster than this and you're just driving.
