roadtrip

Observing sunrise or sunset is truly captivating, a spectacle to one’s eyes. Doing so from different locations adds a special dimension to the journey, offering rewarding moments to anticipate exciting activities ahead or to reflect on past travel adventures as the day draws to a close.

„What does the clue say? Where are we going?” That’s how our Cape Country Routes Amazing Race kicked off…

4 teams of travel agents from around the world were invited to discover our scenic Routes - West Coast-, Wine-, Whale and R62 - and experience our hidden gems in a fun way road-tripping in Jimny 4x4’s. It was an opportunity to shift perspective and find new, exciting travel experiences for their clients.

It’s the harsh beauty of the Karoo, the open spaces and the unique sparkling skies that touch your heart and encourage you to “just be”. The beauty of “Nothingness” invites to reflect and truly appreciate the present moment with all thoughts and senses.

The saying goes “Never let your memories be greater than your dreams “...and this is so true! Memories are wonderful but it is the present moment that nourishes our inner joy and love for travel. The time will come when we can all travel again, when we can live our travel dreams and create new memories based on real time experiences. Let’s start planning our next trip inspired by the many beautiful destinations South Africa and the Cape’s Country Routes have to offer.
