Drive from Swellendam to Gansbaai via Algulhas National Park

You leave Swellendam just after breakfast, for a 90-minute drive (110 kilometres) via Bredasdorp to Cape Agulhas. Here, you enter Agulhas National Park (the southernmost tip of Africa) where two oceans meet. Take your time to explore the park with the historic Cape Agulhas lighthouse and the shipwrecks that dot this rugged, beautiful coastline with crashing waves in the background. Then continue your drive to Gansbaai but stop in Elim, after 45 minutes or 45 kilometres (still on the R43) and taste the fantastic cool climate wines from the Cape Agulhas Wine Triangle (with a snack platter) at The Black Oystercatcher before you take on the last part of the drive… You should reach your hotel in Gansbaai a mere 35 minutes after that.
