South Africa

    Overberg

    Within driving distance of one of South Africa's busiest cities, lies a region of contrasts and wonder. The Overberg has rugged mountain ranges, fynbos, rolling wheat and canola fields, and splendid coastal vistas. Driving southeast on the N2 from Cape Town, visitors will climb the Hottentots Holland Mountains via Sir Lowry's Pass. The Overberg caters for sport enthusiasts and eco-adventurers alike, with diverse activities on offer: tackle a 4x4 trail, ride a horse, go on a sunset cruise, spot the whales or dare to go shark cage diving.
