26 °C in the shade. 12 hours of sunshine a day. Miles of coastline.
A winter holiday in true Porsche style.

South Africa – the ‘most beautiful end of the world’. The country’s diverse appeal manifests itself in an incredible blend of different cultural influences, major cities and fascinating natural surroundings. Game reserves, secluded beaches, high mountains and desert landscapes all add to the unique character of South Africa. Many people are also attracted by the high standards and outstanding service offered by its hotels and restaurants. Other highlights include a 3,000 km coastline, the sea of flowers in Namaqualand or at Kirstenbosch Botanical Gardens near Cape Town, the wonderful scenery of the Cape Winelands and, of course, the world-famous Garden Route which runs along the south coast. In other words: a land full of impressive sights and attractions. Equally inspiring are the roads in-between, especially when you’re sitting behind the wheel of a Porsche.

Arrival in Cape Town

After individual arrival in Cape Town, you will be greeted at the airport and taken to your luxury hotel: the One&Only Capetown. Considered one of Cape Town’s hotspots, it offers incredible views of Table Mountain and the Victoria & Albert Waterfront.

In the evening, we will inform you about what you can expect over the course of the tour. Afterwards, enjoy a drinks reception followed by dinner at the hotel in preparation for the unforgettable days ahead.

Cape Peninsula

Set off on the first leg of the tour with your dynamic travelling companion, a Porsche, for a driving experience that will truly amaze. The route takes you across the Cape Peninsula, through Camps Bay and Hout Bay, and along Chapman’s Peak Drive to the renowned Cape of Good Hope. From here, you can enjoy fantastic views of the Twelve Apostles and the Table Mountain massif. Stop off for a picnic lunch in the relaxing atmosphere of Cape Point National Park, before continuing through Simonstown and Boulder Beaches on the return journey to Cape Town. We then invite you – weather permitting – to take a cable car right to the top of Table Mountain. The views from the summit plateau are simply breathtaking.

The afternoon is free to spend as you please – browsing for souvenirs at the Waterfront shopping centre, for instance, where you will later join the rest of the group for dinner. Emily’s Restaurant is the ideal setting in which to review the experiences of the day. Afterwards you return to your luxury hotel for the night, the One&Only Capetown.

Cape Town – Hermanus

Today, you’ll discover one of the tour’s absolute highlights – the journey from Cape Town, through Kleinmond and along the coast to Hermanus. Upon arrival, you will have some time to explore this lovely little coastal resort.

Your destination and hotel for the night: the Grootbos Private Nature Reserve – a paradise for nature lovers. The lodge is situated right next to Walker Bay surrounded by the magnificent scenery of the Western Cape.

After an excellent lunch of crayfish – a local speciality – you will have some time to make use of the lodge facilities or take part in one of the activities on offer. Explore the region on a flower safari, for instance, or take a long stroll along the unspoilt beaches of the Western Cape. In the evening, relax over a dinner of regional specialities in the lodge’s restaurant, Red Indigo.

* Day 1 of the five-day Porsche Tour of South Africa

Hermanus – Plettenberg Bay

On the fourth day, the focus is on the fascinating appeal of Porsche. After a generous breakfast, you head off through Bredasdorp to Cape Agulhas. Here, at the southernmost tip of Africa, the Atlantic meets the Indian Ocean – and what a spectacular sight it is.

You then set off towards Swellendam. Heading east along the wonderful Garden Route, you stop for a delicious picnic at the Little Brak river.

In the afternoon, the tour continues along the Garden Route, passing through Mossel Bay and Wilderness close to Plettenberg Bay.

Your hotel for the next two nights is the Tsala Treetop Lodge – a hotel consisting of 10 luxury suites tucked into the forest canopy with breathtaking views of the Tsitsikamma Mountains in the distance. In the evening, we invite you to join us on a culinary tour of discovery at the Tsala restaurant – one of the top dining establishments in South Africa.

Plettenberg Bay

Today, you are free to spend the day as you please – relaxing for a few hours in the spa, for instance, or playing a round of golf. For anyone wishing to explore the region further, there are a number of optional trips on offer in the local area. Enjoy dinner in the evening at the Zinzi Restaurant at nearby Hunter’s Country House.

Knysna – Montagu

In the morning, straight after breakfast, you head inland along incredibly beautiful mountain passes towards Oudtshoorn. After arriving in Montagu, you then travel in offroad vehicles to your accommodation for the night in the Sanbona Wildlife Reserve: a lodge nestled between gently rolling hills in the heart of the Klein Karoo desert.

Lunch is followed by one of the day’s highlights: a game drive in the lodge’s Big Five game reserve. Then you’ll be treated to another: dinner at the lodge’s own Boma in traditional African style – under the open skies.

Montagu – Paarl

Those who wish to can start the day with a very special experience: a game drive at dawn to watch the bush waking up. After breakfast, the tour continues along the legendary R62 and the Franschhoek Pass towards the Winelands – a route featuring a wealth of magnificent mountain roads.

Upon arrival in Franschhoek, you have the opportunity to explore this beautiful small town before setting off for the famous town of Paarl, stopping for lunch en route.

You will spend the night at the renowned Grand Roche wine estate. The original buildings in the old Cape Dutch style have been listed since 1993 and were lovingly restored in 2010.

Before the wine tasting, you have some time to relax and enjoy the quiet and peaceful surroundings of this 24-hectare former vineyard. Your exhilarating tour is brought to a fitting conclusion with a sumptuous dinner at the award-winning Bosman’s Restaurant.

Paarl – Cape Town

Enjoy a late breakfast at the hotel, followed by the return journey through the outback of the Winelands to Cape Town. At the One&Only Capetown Hotel it’s time to say farewell to the group – and your Porsche. You are then free to spend the afternoon as you please and freshen up at the hotel spa before transfer to the airport for individual departure.
