Cape Route 62 - Best road trip in the world
Cape Route 62 is the tourist route in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape, South Africa that meanders between Cape Town and Oudtshoorn, the Langkloof and Port Elizabeth, offering the shorter, scenic alternative to the N2 highway.
It's an area of magnificent landscapes and towering cliffs, crystal clear streams and an abundance of trees and indigenous flora - all contribute to make Paarl, Wellington, the Breede River Valley, Klein Karoo and Langkloof some of South Africa's most diverse regions. The ever-changing colours of the majestic mountains, scenic passes, rivers, vineyards and orchards, as well as the multitude of attractions, will offer you an unforgettable adventure - whether this is in the physical sense or simply a kaleidoscope of scenic tranquillity.
The easily accessible towns, nestled along the valleys, all offer ample opportunity for discovery. From visits to wineries and game reserves, tribal art, cultural tours, museums and for the more adventurous: hiking trails and mountain climbing, 4x4 routes, canoeing, horse riding, even ostrich riding, fishing and caving ...
Cape Route 62 lends itself so well to self-drive holidays because of the excellent road conditions, sufficient accommodation offerings along the route and the diversity of attractions you'll encounter along your drive.
Cape Route 62 is an exciting experience, even for the well-travelled. When you are tired after a long day's travel, you can even unwind in one of the region's invigorating hot-springs, revel in luxury or relax in rustic tranquillity.
In 2017 A CNN Travel poll, as voted by tourists and travel journalists, puts Route 62, as the top road trip destination in the world, beating out a host of legendary global grand tours including Canada’s Alcan Highway and the Ticlio Pass in Peru.

Kleine Karoo and Stellenbosch, too
Dropped off at Die Top of the Swartberg pass, I was left to make my way back on bicycle for 54 harrowing kilometers through the Kleine Karoo. I passed farms and ostrich ranches (and camel rides?). At times pursued by ravenous herds of man-eating ostriches. Luckily, I arrived unscathed in the town of Oudtshoorn. Then we're magically transported to Stellenbosch. Uni town and wine center. Strolled through the Village Museum for a gander at Dutch colonial life in the 17th and 18th centuries. Then I hired a dodgy bike to pedal the vineyards, but ventured only as far as I was willing to walk back - a real el crappo bike. The musical accompaniment is Get Some by Lykke Li and Concerto 2 - F Major of the Brandenburg Concertos by Johann Sebastian Bach, conducted by Helmuth Rilling. Created: 16 January 2012.

Augusta de Mist
Stay at the Augusta de Mist Country Retreat when you explore the heritage and culture of the third oldest town in the Republic of South Africa. This 4 star Swellendam guest house is the perfect base for seeing the highlights of Overberg tourism. On a historic Cape Dutch estate that dates from 1802, the Augusta de Mist Country Retreat is named for Augusta Uitenhage de Mist. She was the daughter of Jacob Abraham Uitenhage de Mist, the Dutch statesman who officially received the colony back from the British; Augusta and her father passed within a few metres of the current house in 1803 while traveling the colony together. The guest house, surrounded by extensive gardens, is located 2 blocks from the Drostdy Museum, which was the magistrate's seat at the time of Augusta's visit. The Augusta de Mist Country Retreat offers guests numerous charming public areas, including a lounge, a patio, and a veranda overlooking the gardens. You can use the property's large saltwater pool or find a book in the well-stocked library. Breakfast is served under the vines in the summertime and by a log fire in winter. Celebrate a special occasion by arranging for a 4-course dinner inspired by African flavors, perhaps accompanied by a bottle of the estate's own Eau Sauvage Blanc or Rouge wine.

Route 62 naar Paarl
Deze autoroute in Zuid-Afrika is ook erg bekend vanwege de vele wijngaarden die langs de route liggen in bijvoorbeeld Paarl, Worcester en Robeterson. Het zijn er zelfs zoveel, dat Route 62 de langste wijnroute ter wereld is.
De stad Paarl kent een rijke geschiedenis, die dateert van tijdens de Apartheid, toen de stad in tweeën werd gedeeld. Oost-Paarl was voor de kleurlingen en de rest voor de blanke Afrikaners. Aan de 11-kilometer lange hoofdstraat van Paarl vind je nog veel historische panden die in oud Nederlandse koloniale stijl zijn gebouwd. Een echte trip down memory lane dus.
Paarl is een van de meest Afrikaanse gebieden in Zuid-Afrika en heeft een grote rol gespeeld in de ontwikkeling van het Afrikaans. Om die reden is het Afrikaans Taalmonument en museum dan ook in Paarl gevestigd.
Maar behalve geschiedenis en cultuur zitten in Paarl ook tal van Zuid-Afrika's bekendste wijnproducenten als Fairview (ook bekend om de kaas!), Nederburg en Ashandit. Deze wijnboerderijen liggen in de Bergriviervallei en zijn prachtige locaties voor een wijnproeverij
