Offroading and luxury on the Western Cape

The third stage of the XWORLD Africa tour offers breathtaking landscapes, the legendary Cape of Good Hope, romantic vineyards and mile upon mile of sandy beaches. One particular highlight is the safari on the fourth day, when, with a bit of luck, we’ll spot the big five (lions, elephants, rhinos, leopards and buffaloes) in their natural habitat. The whole fantastic experience is rounded off with some pure offroadingfun on the Western Cape’s most picturesque yet demanding routes.
