To truly experience South Africa and the Western Cape, you have to get outside and see the magic that awaits beyond Cape Town. The Garden Route is a famous coastal drive up about 2 hours southeast of Cape Town, known for its endless beaches, rugged shoreline, quaint towns, and whimsical wilderness. I highly recommend spending a few days in Hermanus, the first stop along the Garden Route, renowned for being the best land-based whale-watching spot in the world, so you can try your hand at spotting these or dolphins in the sea, while you enjoy delicious seafood cuisine, explore the surrounding hiking trails, and try out nearby wineries, and soak in the Vitamin Sea,
