The morning light lifts off Table Mountain as the minibus pulls out of Cape Town and the city shrinks into the rearview. Road noise gives way to the measured rhythm of the R62 wine route—vineyards and folded mountains sliding by—until the limestone mouth of the Cango Caves opens like a secret. Over five days you’ll move from cave chambers to coastal cliffs, trading the hush of subterranean passages for Robberg’s windswept headlands and the slow, watchful motion of safari plains.
