We are travelling the garden route form cape town to port elizabeth in Jan next year, after spending 7 days in cape town. we have 8 nights, not keen on Outshorn as have a fear of ostriches!! hate the things lol. Is it still worth going this route if not seeing the ostriches? also where and how many nights along the route to stay at?

Hola a todos. Estoy planificando unas vacaciones en Sudáfrica para la segunda quincena de julio de este año (2019). Como es época invernal, quisiera saber si conviene recorrer la ruita de los jardines, cuántos días dedicarle y los principales atractivos. Gracias. Carina.

Cape Town and Garden Route - is Self Drive recommended and Safe. Hi, we are planning to go to SAF in May and intend to spend 3-4 days in Cape Town followed by 5 day through Garden Route before me move to JoBerg from George. I am planning to stay at George/Oudtshroon and Plettenberg Bay. Is Self drive safe and recommended if we are 2 adults and 1 kid of 5 yrs. If yes which is the preferred rental company?

Hi this is Clifford......I wrote the original review on Speed Traps in the Cape. I would like to add the latest development. Be very careful......Hertz rent a car have now taken two Admin fees from my credit card WITHOUT any notification. When I called to discuss, I was told me they could take any payment at anytime without notification. This could go on indefinitely...6 months, a year ,two years!!! Hertz said there was nothing they could do about continuing speed fines coming in. Remember I was there in February and have just received another speeding fine I know nothing about, and have no recourse!!! A total disgrace! Any advice please!?

I have only 3 days to do the garden route is that enough? Where best places to stay on the route ? What the best trusted car hire company to rent a car from CT? Thanks :)
