WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT

The 33 Passes, Baviaanskloof, and Addo Dream Tour stands as one of our quintessential adventures, and we’re thrilled to embark on our 17th journey through this 8-day Overland Tour. The Western and Eastern Cape’s wild heartlands await, where we’ve been drawn back by the breath-taking landscapes year after year. We’ll lead you to extraordinary vantage points, offering sweeping views over vast valleys and stretches of captivating, memorable scenery.

Our adventure commences in Wilderness, where friendships form and promises of an unparalleled journey begin. Traversing an incredible route, we’ll delve into the Knysna Forest, navigate through Baviaanskloof, and venture along the lesser-known tracks to Addo National Park. Covering roughly 800 kilometres across the Western and Eastern Cape offroad trails, this expedition promises an unforgettable experience.

We’ll conquer 33 magnificent mountain passes, meander through verdant forests, and encounter astonishing wildlife. The trek culminates after seven days in Addo, having visited two nature reserves, and soaked in the splendour of nature’s artistry. There are numerous secret spots along the way, and we aim to uncover most of them.

The journey is self-catered, and we’ll suggest a menu as the departure date nears. However, there are small shops on the route where you can replenish supplies.

Given the tour’s immense popularity and the high level of interest it has garnered, we advise you to express your intent to join promptly. Spaces are filling rapidly, and it’s an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Prepare for an adventure that promises not only to explore the landscape but also to create lasting memories and friendships. Let’s set off on this journey together – it’s bound to be a fully booked adventure soon!
