Garden Route and Lesotho
Solitary bays, blue lagoons and fairytale-like primeval forests – eating oysters with a view of the Indian Ocean and amazing offroad drives through wild, almost untouched mountain landscapes... These are just a few of the highlights of this XWORLD stage, which runs from Johannesburg down the famous Garden Route with a brief detour through the Kingdom of Lesotho before once again returning to Johannesburg.
