Cape Town & Garden Route is one of those places where the obvious plan and the good plan are two different trips.

We mapped a 3-day Cape Town & Garden Route route ourselves, kept tight enough to actually enjoy it, built to avoid the Table Mountain cable car queue from day one.

It's the kind of trip your group chat asks about for years, not the one that looks like everyone else's. Free to download, no catch, just don't leave it until the week before you fly.
