Guided trip
πŸ‘‹ Hey fellow travelers! Let me introduce myself, I'm an adventure-seeking anthropologist to be. The travel bug caught me when I spend a year in Cape Town. Since then I'm always seeking for new adventures. I love to explore new places and meet people from different cultural backgrounds. I'm very open-minded and looking forward to meeting some cool people here :) About the trip πŸ—ΊοΈ I'm planning a small road trip down the coast starting in beautiful Cape Town. Starting very early at 6.30, our first stop will be Stony Point Nature Reserve, where we will see some cute African Penguins before we continue driving to Hermanus, one of the 12 best places to watch whales, where we will spend the first night. The next day in the early morning we drive down to Gansbaai or Kleinbaai to do Shark Cage Diving (you decide if you want to join or spend half day in the village). After the shark cage diving at around 1 pm, we continue driving towards the southernmost point of Africa, Kap Agulhas. After spending the afternoon there, we will return to Hermanus in the evening to have dinner and spend another night there. If we haven't seen any whales yet or if we feel like we need to see more, we will do whale watching boat trip from Hermanus before returning to Cape Town. To summarize what is included in the price πŸ’° πŸ›οΈ Accommodation (Share room) πŸš— Transportation Everything else as food, extra activities, or further expenses will be divided on spot. Looking forward you to joining me on this adventure! Further details we can discuss in a call or by message!
