Gifting experiences this festive season

• Witnessing the most magical sunrise over the semi-desert and its unique scenery
• Enjoying a sundowner drink next to the vlei, while listening to the beautiful sounds of an incredibly diverse birdlife
• Reflecting on the year after a wellness treatment in the open-air riverside spa
• Tasting some of the world’s best and award-winning wines, surrounded by breath-taking vineyard settings
• Waking up to the most amazing ocean views, sounds of waves, clear waters and interesting marine life
• Enjoying a bush picnic on a Big 5 or Shy 5 safari – just you and nature
• Cycling through the historical parts of town without crowds or traffic
• Wildlife encounters with only a few other safari vehicles in the reserve
• Visiting quaint “dorpies” and experiencing their people’s true, warm and amazingly positive South African hospitality
• Sitting around the boma fire, watching the flames and sharing inspirational stories
• Stargazing under un-polluted African skies

….these are the kind of experiences many of us long for and have been deprived of, for a very long time.  It’s time for #ExperiencesNotThings this festive season, enjoyed in a safe and responsible manner.  The beautiful sights of South Africa await, #SouthAfricaIsTravelReady!  By gifting experiences, we support industries that have been affected the most by the pandemic and its economic consequences.  Not to forget the many conservation-, education- and research projects that are indirectly supported as well.

Treat yourself or your loved ones to an experience that can be remembered and cherished for many months to come.  Experiences that nurture our inspiration and aspiration, especially during challenging times.  Experiences that remind us that “the purpose of life is to live it.”

Let’s support each other while enjoying new, life-enrichening experiences such as: Gift Vouchers, a surprise booking for a romantic weekend away, a holiday package for the family, a mystery lunch invitation, a fun-filled food & wine pairing, an exciting adventure activity or simply an appreciation luncheon for your friends. The possibilities are endless to gift “experiences” this festive season…and beyond!

The members of Cape Country Routes look forward to making those experiences truly memorable.  Please contact us for ideas and voucher options.
