Cape Town Driving Routes

Cape Town (and surrounds)

Mothers of Creation

Eight communities stretching parallel to the Garden Route initiated the development of this route where travellers can appreciate the abundant natural resources of the area and the cultural heritage of the local communities. A unique and energizing experience, this route is not for the hurried traveller, as the local people want to welcome visitors into their communities, homes and lives.

Overberg Fynbos Route

Situted in the Southern Overberg Region, this route is renowned for its rich ecological diversity in fynbos (shrublands), which is the main component of the Cape Floral Kingdom (the smallest but richest floral kingdom in the world within one country). The route explores the Agulhas Plain at the southern tip of Africa through the towns of Stanford, Gansbaai, Baardskeerdersbos, Pearly Beach, Elim and Wolvengat. Along the route, whale watching, bird watching, horse riding, and hiking are some favourite activities.

Sonke Route

This township route offers great extremes form the vibrant music of township rythms to a peaceful Muslim kramat (burial site) pilgrimage. The adopted slogan- “sonke alles together”- aims at unifying all route participants from Cape Town’s townships from the Bo-Kaap to the Cape Flats. including Langa, Nyanga, Gugulethu, KTC, Crossroads, Khayelitsha, Lwandle, Manenberg, Montana, Athlone and Mitchell’s Plain.
