	Day 1 Cape Town to Bainskloof Pass. A morning departure takes you from the bustling CBD of Cape Town to the French-inspired town of Franschoek, where we visit a wine farm to taste and savour the local beverage. We continue through the winelands over the winding pass through Bainskloof to the mountainside campsite at Tweede Tol. Enjoy dinner under the canopy of pine and oak. Bainskloof pass was opened on the 13/14 September 1853 and this year will be a 150 years old. It was built by Andrew Geddes Bain after whom it was named. The first kilometre or two run through pine forests Once you have past the forest you reach the fynbos on the higher slopes. From the top you can enjoy spectacular views to Wellington. Bainskloof Pass is a natural monument along it's full length. [D]
	Day 2 Bainskloof Pass to Barrydale. We start the day early heading towards the Overberg area via the scenic town of Swellendam. Take in the past with beautiful gables, homesteads and out-of-town hospitality. We continue along the N2 and then off the main highways heading towards Barrydale. We camp the night at Warmwaterberg, a spa resort that is pure simplicity with two open pools set against the stark backdrop of the Little Karoo. [BD]
	Day 3 Barrydale to Oudtshoorn. After breakfast we head out towards Oudtshoorn with its balmy climate, festive locals and everything you can imagine about ostriches. More than that, this is your chance to explore the expansive and breath-taking cave system of the world-famous Cango Caves. If you're feeling especially brave, visit an ostrich farm and ride on one of these giant birds. [BD]
	Day 4 Oudtshoorn to Wilderness. Descending the N2, we head for the coast of Wilderness, a town with spectacular ocean, forests and mountain views. We venture out for a hike to Rus en Vrede Waterfall and enjoy the luxury of tranquility in this peaceful setting. Return to set up camp alongside the river in Wilderness National Park, and spend a peaceful night under the African sky. [BD]
	Day 5 Wilderness to Bredasdorp. We start circling back towards Cape Town as we head west out of Wilderness and towards the superb conservation area of De Hoop Nature Reserve, the pearl of the Overberg. We spend the day exploring the wetlands, fynbos lowland and the myriad mammal, plant and bird species. [BD]
	Day 6 Cape Town. We continue along the rocky coastline towards the Mother City. Fortune favours the brave when we head along the sinewy Chapman's Peak to conclude our tour. [B]
