If South Africa isn’t on your travel bucket list yet, it should be, and this epic coastal drive from Cape Town to Gansbaai is the perfect reason why. Whether you're craving scenic drives, marine wildlife, or breathtaking national parks, this route is packed with iconic stops like Chapman’s Peak, Cape Point, Boulder’s Beach, and Gansbaai (famous for shark cage diving!).

If you've followed our family's greatest adventure yet, you know all about our whirlwind six-month journey abroad in South Africa, and the joy of welcoming not one but two perfect daughters during that time. One of the highlights? Hosting my amazing mother-in-law, Connie (aka Nana), for her first international trip. After months apart, there was nothing more magical than watching her finally hug her grandbabies for the very first time. As a thank you for her endless love and support, we surprised Nana with an unforgettable experience: her very first African safari. As a travel agent specializing in family-friendly adventures and custom safari planning, I knew exactly how to make it extra special.
