Start your day at the Uvongo Beach, one of the most picturesque beaches on the South Coast. Enjoy a scenic walk along the beach and explore the Uvongo Tidal Pool. Then, continue to the St Michaels Beach which is ideal for swimming and surfing.
On day 2, visit the Oribi Gorge Nature Reserve where you can go hiking, wildlife viewing and see the amazing Leopard Rock lookout. Next, head to Marina Beach, a secluded beach with warm water from the lagoon.
Start off your day by heading to the South Coast Bazaar Market where you can shop for souvenirs and local goods. Afterwards, head to the Wild 5 Adventures Oribi Gorge for the world’s highest abseiling point over a waterfall.
Start your last day by visiting the Uvongo Flea Market for great food and top-quality crafts. After shopping, visit the Nelson Mandela Capture Site to learn about South Africa’s struggle for freedom, and view their tribute to this great man.
You can travel around Uvongo by renting a car for about R350 per day. Make sure to bring your own GPS as some rural areas might not have good signal. You can also catch a taxi or use ride-sharing apps like Uber.
If you have more time, consider exploring the Oribi Gorge Hotel and Spa for its scenic views, or visit the Southbroom Golf Club. For less time, shorten the beach and local attractions days to fit your needs.
