Open Road to Tip of Africa
-
Loved Ted's article in the June issue. We're going to Cape Town next March and want to drive to Garden Route Game Lodge, not quite as far as Mossel Bay. If we follow your Cape Town to Mossel Bay route, but veer north at Cape Agulhas Southernmost Tip of Africa, instead of following the coast, to the Garden Route Game Lodge, how long (by miles and hours) would that route be? Thank you!

Hi there! Ted Baumann here. I've actually stayed at the Garden Route Game Lodge myself, it's really nice. Lovely big fireplaces for the evening meals.
The quickest way to get there from Aghulas would be to take the R319 provincial road north Until you intersect with the N2 highway, Which runs east west. You would make a right turn onto the N2 then go through Swellendam, Heidelberg, and Riversdale, and then you'll pick up the game lodge a bit further on on the left.
